SN has hosted a [number of discussions](https://stacker.news/search?q=6102) about the historical precedent of the US Govt seizing gold via order 6102.  The motivation for asking this question is: could history repeat itself, except w/ btc as the seizure target?

Add this writeup by Stevhen Lubka of Swan to that literature.  This one is more hopeful than many:

> What protections could Bitcoin offer against this tyranny? Surely, gold fell prey to such a draconian measure due to its lack of portability and concentration in large silos.  Have no fear! For I am here to tell you of the many reasons we shall not see a repeat of EO 6102, and where freedom-minded Bitcoiners should direct their watchful eyes instead.

Worth a read.

Executive Order ***6102*** did NOT apply to regular men and women

Do not fall for it again.

Legalese is tricky for those not versed within it. Surprisingly, many (low level) judges &  lawyers still do not understand the statutory construction concepts of *ejusdem generis* or *noscitur a sociis*.

Let's look at the last sentence of Section 1 of EO 6102:

**The term "person" means any individual, partnership, association or corporation.**

At first glance, it looks like the word "individual" would apply to an actual human being. When a definition contains a list such as this, the terms within the list must be within the same class. Human beings are not within the same class as the other commercial/statutory entities within this list, so in this case, an "individual" is just *one* of those other "persons".

Rarely does a person mean a human being, but it is often misapplied to us. Those that know how to fight it in court can ensure that it is not, but unfortunately, many do not have the want to learn court process and fight it.

To see when a person actually means a regular human being, look at the definition of "person" within your state's penal code.

Bitcoin ETFs are quickly becoming the modern-day version of Executive Order ***6102***

Bitcoin ETFs are quickly becoming the modern-day equivalent of Executive Order 6102 from U.S. history. Just like the order, which prohibited the hoarding of gold during the Great Depression, Bitcoin ETFs prevent people from owning Bitcoins, but instead let them own some worthless tokens/certificates. 

With more than 30 Bitcoin ETFs collectively owning over 1 million BTC as of May 24, it's clear that once you trust the central entity and think that compliance is necessary, you are definitely losing your sight, becoming comfortable in darkness. Remember: "Don't trust, but verify. Be your own bank". If you sell your precious sats in return for some worthless tokens, you'll remain a slave, and never be free.
