Bitcoin is not anti-Christian, but I do think a CBDC will be how buying and selling will be controlled during the time predicted in Revelation. CBDC explains how this could happen. I never could understand how buying and selling could be controlled until talk of CBDC came into being.
Discussion
I will agree here on the nature of CBDCs being wicked in that they are the antithises of bitcoin, the ultimate embodiment of everything morally reprehensible about fiat. But I am growing in a postmillenial conviction and see passages like the one you reference in Revelation quite differently than I used to.
We now run the risk of highjacking this thread and the direction of the discussion š¬
The days ahead are likely tumultuous, and there may be a time where the technocratic sociopaths have their rule via CBDCs and a digital panopticon. But it won't last. It will implode because it goes against natural law and because God will not be mocked. Christ is Lord over the nations and his Kingdom is ever on the advance.
Bitcoin will not save us, but it is a powerful tool for resisting tyrants and establishing human flourishing.
For sure! The sad thing is, people donāt see it coming. Not so long ago, i I remember āstrongā Christians, disallowed from having their church doors open, disallowed from shopping anywhere but the grocery isle in Walmart, we had who? One Polish priest in Canada that threw an absolute fit, and a couple thousand evangelicals in California that played music in a park. Probably going to go the same way with cbdc. I donāt picture myself paying tithing with my ubi, thatās for sure.
yeah things are totally lining up prophetically
