Hey there,
­
Welcome to the April edition of All About Bitcoin!

Do you know what happened on April 5, 1933?

You probably already know if you’ve followed our celebrations earlier this month.

­Every Bitcoiner should know. It’s the day the U.S. government attacked financial freedom with Executive Order 6102, banning private gold ownership.

­April 5 is also Satoshi Nakamoto’s birthday.

­To us, this date is a reminder: Own your money. Stay in control.

­It’s also proof that we all have the power to say “No.”, just like Satoshi did.

­Saying no to:

­Giving up self-custody
Accepting the status quo
Trusting governments and banks to protect our assets
­
This month, we celebrate Satoshi’s legacy and the cypherpunk spirit within all of us. You always have a choice!

­Bitcoin emerged from the turmoil of collapsing currencies and broken banking systems.

­Trezor was born from the chaos of failing exchanges because trusting third parties with your bitcoin was never the answer.

­“We wanted to make a couple of hardware wallets for our friends. But soon we realized that we had found a big market gap. Now we are one of the most trusted wallets in the world.”
