A letter between two future Presidents on tariffs.

Adams really, really hated fiat money and the banks that issued it. He claimed in this letter even when dead, everyone would hate him for his outspokenness against those who supported fiat and banks.

Have only posted quotes tied to money from the Founding Fathers, but came across this classic quote from Thomas Jefferson.

Proof of work

Continuation of yesterday’s post

John Adams was a bitcoiner

Adams believed that if the States would agree to implement taxes the “Interest of Money would instantly be lowered, and Capitals be employed in Manufactures & Commerce that are now at Usury”.
