The US MINT Issues a First Amendment Platinum Coin
With Freedom of Speech
While the US is undergoing some of the worse censorship and silencing in it's history, the US mint is issuing a "Freedom of Speech" platinum coin.
IT seems the definition of "freedom of speech" has been redefined as "freedom that we grant to speak". With attempts to build a ministry of truth, right out of Orwell's book 1984, this is quickly becoming a time when US citizens feel they have to pander to particular ideologies and not speak of certain philosophical ideals.
The $100 Question
As we have this new $100 coin made of pure platinum, with images in remembrance of our God-given constitutional right to free speech, how shall we then utilize this right?
I am grateful for the immutable blockchain, that this message cannot be "canceled" or "censored". If a whale doesn't like it, sure they can downvote it. They can grey it out, remove rewards, damage reputation. But still, there it is. Immutable. Recorded. Said.
Does anyone else find it ironic that 2022, with an increasing LACK of freedom of speech, this particular coin design is issued?

Would the immutable blockchain also be used as evidence against someone who spoke out freely, if democracy is taken out by a totalitarian regime?
Like.. blockchain backfires?
Double edged sword, indeed. That's why there are so many users who are anonymous. Then there's me splashing my name and face all over the immutable Blockchain! I haven't given my soc and mother's maiden name, so I'm good.
Wow. Both of those designs are gorgeous.
They do a good job on these designs.
Agreed. Also, I am hopeful. The mass media is not the heart of the people. Thank you for living well and raising a wonderful family.
Thank you.
Pricey!!!
Yup. But pocket change for some.
It is ironic indeed. They are doing their best to limit our first and second amendment rights. Suppress through censorship and take the guns so their is no defense. Sad. God help us through this. The coin is pretty but means nothing unless we have our God given rights to exercise.
This coin may become a relic of an older time, but no matter what, good is and will always be good, no matter what the circumstances.

That is quite ironic, Benjamin. But it is an awesome-looking coin!
It is nice looking, I agree.
That is a gorgeous coin ... and a terrible irony ... but then again, this is nothing new. REMEMBER: there were millions of people in the United States not allowed to read or speak for themselves on pain of death for 246 years, and Jim Crow heavily discouraged their descendantds for another 90. As an African American I can tell you that at ANY TIME in the last 403 years, that coin would be ironic. It's just that everyone is getting to feel it now ... but maybe that is what it is going to take for EVERYONE to get on board and protect EVERYONE's rights.
You have a good knack for offering a broader perspective. I suppose we don't really understand or appreciate the value of what we have until it's threatened or lost. We have a louder voice now than perhaps any other time in history. That is precisely why the authorities are attempting to control and manipulate our speech.
If I had a spare 2 grand, then yeah, I'd buy one and hold it for a few years before I sell it again.
Me too!
It's kind of funny how free speech is kind of limited now and they are issuing the coin. It looks great though

Never the less, this coin looks really worth collecting if it is a pure platinum. I am a note collectors so I am a bit interest in these kind of currency collection.
99.95% pure platinum! More rare than gold!
Very true! It certainly is an example of doublespeak! !ALIVE

Phrases like "our democracy" and "fair share" and words like "freedom" and "rights" and "equality" have all become twisted to have new meaning. The enemies of our souls cannot use real words, they have to steal virtuous words and give them the meanings that furthers their power and authority while sounding benevolent.

I agree with you, it was an even bigger penny drop that all of these things are not real things, they are actually just mental constructs. Therefore, if I don't give them my attention, they have no effect!
Money has become a mental construct too... it's a number on a computer screen with nothing to back it. These days, $1 earned by sweat is no different than $1 earned by interest, or $1 in UBI. So why sweat anymore? Because without sweat, we will have no food.
With all these centralised systems, we are more like a farm than free people. I like how many Hivers have their own farm or piece of land that they grow on.
It's alarming seeing that 'Freedom of Speech' seems to only apply to one side of the political spectrum and not to others.
Lovely design!
Exactly.
