It depends on the demographics, and their theological presuppositions. Dispensationalism has this added stigma of "cashless society" which will determine many from even looking into it initially. It also justifies laziness in doing something/anything to build for the next generation when you are hoping Jesus comes back to save you from the world tomorrow.
Colossians 3:23 deals with the intentions. One could make a moral case that bitcoin is the only viable option that Christians can get behind. It's not a get rich quick scam, but a promise of stored value. With fiat, if you take out a loan, you are directly stealing from your neighbor as your bank is creating new money to fun your credit venture. With bitcoin, because there will never be anymore than 21 million, my actions will not affect my neighbors money negatively.
Jeremiah 29:11 is a famous, cliche verse that gets thrown around, but shows that God blessed and prospered the Israelites.
Mark 10:29-31 is a new testament example of living for Christ and being rewarded not only in heaven but also here on earth 100x by God.
Many of the men I know from church who are muggles to bitcoin either tend towards gambling and thinking its a get rich quick scam, which I explain to them its a store of value for their kids. The other side are those who pose the holier than thou attitude and say it's a waste of their sanctified time...the same guys tend to play video games every night. Don't trust initial reactions.
