The U.S. needed to confiscate the gold in order to print money because they were tied to each other.

They don’t need to confiscate gold anymore to print money. They took the dollar off of the gold standard.

They don’t need to confiscate houses, cars, watches, airplanes, bridges, roads, bitcoin nor anything else to print money. They untied the dollar to anything. So they can print print print. 

I think his point was…… Why confiscate bitcoin which there is a limited and distributed supply and I would have to have proof of work (going to seize then acquire the bitcoin keys etc.) when I can print an unlimited supply for no fee and no proof of work.

Saylor is right. He is just early and the first one through the door gets hit first. 
Ask yourself this “who is pushing this narrative that he is doesn’t want people to hold private keys? He never said that. Maybe people are reacting to emotions and not evaluating logically.
