DW NOTE
Florida just turned a sound money bill into a backdoor dealer licensing regime. HB 1311 subjects precious metals dealers to money services business regulation — examinations, compliance programs, reporting obligations — that treat coin shops like banks. Gold is down 23% from its January high of $5,318, and DeSantis just made it harder to own the thing people bought when they stopped trusting dollars.
