It's a date that has puzzled and intrigued the cryptocurrency world for years: Apr. 5, 1975, the birthdate Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, entered when registering his account on P2PFoundation.ning.com.

Digging into the history of financial regulation, the date is found to hold a connection to an iconic moment in American monetary policy.

On Apr. 5, 1933, U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 6102, which made it illegal for American citizens to own gold.

This drastic measure was part of the government's efforts to combat the Great Depression, which had left the global economy in shambles.
