Happy Sat-urday Stackers,
On Monday July 4th, Americans will celebrate declaring their independence from Great Britain 246 years ago. Early American currencies were predictably bad, a mix of precious metal coins, bills of credit which were largely fiat, and commodities. Shortly before our independence, we created the fiat Continental Currency which collapsed only a handful of years later and prompted us to declare only gold and silver worthy payments of debt in The United States Constitution but ... that didn't last very long did it?
Exercise and celebrate your sovereignty this weekend stackers!
