LD2 a True Asset-Backed Cryptocurrency

Please join me in welcoming the birth of the new silver-backed cryptocurrency, LD2 – a state-of-the-art issue of honest money – that is now available.

I am very pleased to announce that the Liberty Dollar LIVES!!!
And a new generation of Liberty Dollars has just been issued!

Even more amazing is that the new “crypto Liberty Dollar” is the work of my son, Extra, who grew up in the Royal Hawaiian Mint, and Steven Brendtro, who was an outstanding Regional Currency Officer in the original Liberty Dollar organization. I must confess LD2 came to me as a complete surprise. I am a shocked, pleased and an amazed parent.

Here is an excerpt from the official Press Release:

LD2 Launches a True Asset-Backed Cryptocurrency, Continuing the Liberty Dollar Legacy

LD2 expands beyond the historical foundations of the Liberty Dollar to produce a truly innovative, asset-backed and value-stable cryptocurrency, that’s 100% backed by, and 100% redeemable in precious metals.

LD2 is a cryptocurrency poised to bring old-school, value-based monetary principles to modern-day cryptocurrencies. Developed by Bernard’s son, Extra von NotHaus, and a Currency Officer of LD, Steven Brendtro, LD2 mirrors the original Liberty Dollar in that every digital token is backed by real, physical, precious metals. Custom minted one troy ounce silver LD2 coins are stored in a secure vault, backing up every single digital LD2 token issued. According to co-founder Extra von NotHaus, “LD2 is reimagining my father’s very successful concept of an asset-backed currency by bringing it into the modern technological paradigm of blockchain, which significantly improves the functionality and utility.” All digital tokens issued by LD2 can be redeemed for the actual minted silver coins with true market value. Enhancing the versatility and usefulness of LD2 is its integration of the Ethereum blockchain technology, making it easy for existing cryptocurrency users to jump on board. Unlike the more common security-based Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) that are in the news almost everyday, these are actual hard, physical assets, tokenized on the Ethereum blockchain. This innovative precious-metal-backed cryptocurrency is being released in these two initial phases:

The first issuance of LD2 is named LD2.zero. Only 10,000 tokens will issued with each backed by a stunning 20th Anniversary Liberty Dollar brilliant uncirculated (BU) commemorative coin in one troy ounce of .999 fine silver. Only an additional 1,000 proofs of these coins may be issued outside this LD2.zero issuance so this will be the first and potentially only opportunity to secure this imminently rare Liberty Dollar coin at issue price.

Don’t delay. If you got the original Liberty Dollar, take advantage of this early opportunity to get one of the 20th Anniversary Liberty Dollar commemoratives and support the launch of the new LD2!

Return of Your Liberty Dollars

It has been way too long since I did a new post; my life is SO full and busy these days. I am working on it, but meanwhile, just a quick note… did you hear the latest Liberty Dollar news? After TEN years, the confiscated  Liberty Dollars are being returned to their rightful owners! That is just wild and very awesome good news! The actual gold and silver Liberty Dollars are being returned. Happy Day!

 

Are You Celebrating Your Liberty Today?

Do you feel free? Are you enjoying your liberty?

Real Money

One of the few freedoms I see that we still have left to us, is the freedom to buy real money; i.e. gold and silver. Yes, this is another shameless plug for the Trump Dollar. Of course I want you to buy some gold and/or silver from me. Own some Free Speech that is Actually Worth Something.

The “2016 Trump Dollar” is a clear call for freedom of political speech and an expression of distrust of the entrenched political class. It was created to recognize Donald Trump’s heroic presidential candidacy and popularize it with collectors and sound-money supporters. It was designed by Bernard von NotHaus, the monetary architect of the Liberty Dollar. That’s me.

Liberty

Tyler Durden, over at Zero Hedge, best expressed today, my sentiments about the current state of freedom in America.

What Is It We’re Celebrating Exactly?

“Moral law no longer governs. Only the law. And that can be anything. There are no limits whatsoever on what may be done to us; only that a law be enacted (and not even that). We are bound to obey, regardless. The king’s men could simply take our things, search our persons on whim. The colonists objected to such treatment and cited such treatment among the reasons for their decision to secede. Is it not a fact that the government’s men (and women) can simply take our things? Search us on whim? Have you traveled recently?” Read his post HERE.

Meanwhile, out in California, Governor Brown just signed six more gun ban laws, removing more freedoms that Californians thought they had. James Wesley Rawles over at Survival Blog, did an excellent job of informing us…Coping With California’s Six New Gun and Magazine Ban Laws.

 

 

Liberty Dollar News Announces the Trump Dollar

March 30. 2016

Dear Liberty Dollar Supporters:

As you may recall, in 2008 the LibertyDollar.org issued the Ron Paul Dollar that was wildly successful and ruled non-counterfeit in my criminal counterfeit case. This gave rise to a group of highly spirited Americans who have created the Trump Dollar to honor Donald J. Trump, the first private citizen to campaign for the US Presidency in over 100 years!

I am pleased to announce that forces way beyond my humble control has created the Trump Dollar. A masterpiece in many ways, the Trump Dollar is the work of many of the finest craftsmen in the country including Wayne Takazono, Hawaii portrait artist; Luigi Badia, national merit sculptor and William LaMere, mintmaster at the North American Mint. I am deeply indebted to them and many more people who have made the Trump Dollar a reality.

I invite you to “Trump the Government”TM with free political speech that is actually worth something! And get a Trump Dollar today!

Trump the GovernmentFed up with the political class? Fed up with money that loses its value? Show how you feel with the “2016 Trump Dollar” – a silver-dollar size commemorative coin made of one ounce of .999 fine silver!

The “2016 Trump Dollar” expresses the anger of the American people who distrust politicians and the badly broken U.S. political process. A portrait of Donald Trump and the words TRUMP THE GOVERNMENT are featured on the obverse and reinforced with VOTE NON POLITICIAN on the reverse of the commemorative political coin.

Those sentiments are echoed by Forbes magazine editor-in-chief Steve Forbes, himself a two-time presidential candidate, about the current political environment: “What it demonstrates is the intense, deep voter dissatisfaction with where the country is, and fears about the future… so people are looking for an outsider for a fresh perspective.”

The “2016 Trump Dollar” – to commemorate Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and give voice to the voters dissatisfaction who are fed up with the political class – is available by pre-order. Shipment of all orders will commence – in the order received – after the First Day of Issue reception on April 27 at the Trump Tower in New York City.

The “2016 Trump Dollar” – a clear call for freedom of political speech and expression of distrust of the entrenched political class – was designed by Bernard von NotHaus, the monetary architect of the Liberty Dollar, to recognize Mr. Trump’s heroic presidential candidacy and popularize it with collectors and sound-money supporters.

The commemorative coin with one full ounce of pure 999 fine silver in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition is available at the MSRP of $25 featured on the reverse. The one-ounce copper BU Trump Dollar is $5. Single Proofs of the Copper and Silver Trump Dollars are also available in addition to a special three coin Gold Proof Dougle Split Piedfort Set – with a $2000 MSRP proof gold, $25 silver and $5 copper – is available for $2450 in an engraved wood presentation case with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.

Judge Voorhees Orders Early Termination of BVNH from Probation

Dear Liberty Dollar Supporters!

For the first time since being arrested for counterfeiting and conspiracy on June 4, 2009, I am off probation and free! Earlier today, Judge Richard Voorhees issued a Court Order for early termination of my three year sentence.

Please click HERE for the Court Order.

I light of the fact that I was facing 22 years in federal prison, the three years of probation is the closest I or the Liberty Dollar will ever come to a vindication.

Meanwhile, the forfeiture case has been moving at light speed with 265 Petitions approved in record time and the balance have moved along very well. I am soo pleased that soo many Liberty Dollar supporters refused to let the government steal their property.

And of course, one of the most unique turn of events, is that the actual Gold and Silver Liberty Dollars are being returned! In a time when seized property is rarely ever returned and if so, it is in the form of those dreaded non-Federal non-Reserve Notes… The Petitioners will receive actual Liberty Dollars! How cool it that!?

Words cannot express my sincere appreciation for all of you who took a stand for a value based currency and supported the Liberty Dollar. My heart goes out to those who have been harmed or not lived long enough to enjoy the blessings of their activism.

Many many thanks for your staunch support of the Liberty Dollar!

Government to Return the Majority of the Seized Material!!!

Dear Liberty Dollar Supporters!

I am very pleased to inform you that on Friday, August 14, 2015, Assistant US Attorney Thomas R. Ascik just filed Document 632 that outlines 265 of the 302 Petitioners have been APPROVED and your property will be returned!

Of course, this is the most amazing news. Have you ever heard of the cops ever returning seized material? Of course not. And if any property is returned it is only after years and a ton of money as was the case with my mother’s silver! The fact that the gov is going to return actual Gold and Silver Libertys is in keeping with the very unusual nature of the Liberty Dollar case.

Such a positive turn of events adds to the beauty and lore of the Liberty Dollar and the brave dedicated Americans who dared to develop and USE their own gold and silver currency in keeping with the US Constitution! Praise the Lord for all your fine efforts and for filing a Petition to keep the government from stealing your property.

Now, the bad news is that the DOJ is proposing not to return any property until all the Petitions have been resolved. While this may be understandable, it does mean that you will not get your long awaited property for a few months… only God knows when. The important point is that the government has agreed to return the majority of the property and hopefully you will receive your gold and silver before Christmas!

Please check the attached docs regarding your petition as I have already found two Petitioners who were not even listed!

Please click these attachments for info:
Doc 632 Consolidated Report LD Forfeiture
Doc 633 Motion to Grant 265 Petitions
Appendix A regarding
Appendix B regarding
Appendix C regarding
Appendix D regarding

The Appendixes detail the approved Petitions and the Petitions in question. The gov is proposing to settle 27 Petitions in part, 7 Petitions are denied, 4 Petitions are in question and one Petition is to be refilled. All denied and settlement-in-part may be appealed and addressed in person at the Ancillary Hearing that will eventually be heard in Federal Court in Charlotte, North Carolina.

NOTE: No action will be taken until the Court rules on this Consolidated Report and no property will be returned until all Petitions are resolved.

More info is available at www.pacer.gov case # 09-27 when you register for a free account.

If you have any questions regarding your Petition, please contact:
Thomas R. Ascik
Assistant United States Attorney
100 Otis Street, Room 233, U.S. Courthouse
Asheville, North Carolina 28801

I will continue to keep you informed with any and all developments regarding the Liberty Dollar and your property.

Please email me with any concerns or developments regarding your property.

I remain steadfast to get your property back! And get it back ASAP!!

Thanks again for your continued support of the Liberty Dollar and for those ideals that brought us together.

Thank you from BVNH …

Dear Liberty Dollar Supporters!

Thank you for your wonderful emails and your continued support. While I am disappointed we didn’t “change the money – change the country,” I am humbled by your kind words of support and sheer joy that I am not going to prison. I hope to review all my emails and reply to your questions and suggestions as soon as time permits.

Meanwhile, you may wish to share the main points raised in the Wall Street Journal editorial by Seth Lipsky just the day before I was sentenced: “A Monetary Gadfly in an Age of Fiat Money” and his excellent editorial “Beyond Bernard von NotHaus” in the New York Sun published the day after I was sentenced. Both are very well written and should be of interest to your local news sources.

I wish to express a very special thanks to Noell Tin, Fred Williams and Tom Ashcraft, the very competent and dedicated team of attorneys who represented me at the Sentencing Hearing and GATA for their outstanding support and posting Seth Lipsky’s WSJ.

Please remember that it is only by banding together and adopting a free and independent currency that provides us with “just weights and measures” that we will be able to throw off the yoke of a manipulated monetary/tax system and generate a peaceful and prosperous society.

Many thanks for your continued support.
