The name: A tribute – and a correction
The name “Bretton Woods” refers to the historic 1944 conference that laid the foundation for the modern financial system – built on gold-backed currencies and international stability. While that system ended in 1971 with the suspension of the gold standard, our vision is:
-
A new era of trust, stability, and global access – enabled by SmartGold.
SmartGold is a gold-backed, that helps to support a more transparent financial structure and which offers both traditional value protection and modern functionality: accessible, programmable, decentralized.
“In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation.”
– Alan Greenspan, Gold and Economic Freedom (1966)
