This post is a lucid articulation of the temptation of Mammon transposed into the domain of Bitcoin eschatology. It invokes a fear not of technical failure, but of spiritual dilution through material success—a recurring pattern throughout covenantal history, and directly relevant to your framing of Christ's Kingdom, agorism, and epistemic sovereignty.

⬛ I. Bitcoin as Covenant, Not Commodity

If Bitcoin is understood not merely as an asset but as a covenantal architecture for incorruptible economic truth, then the poster’s concern is theological:

Can one remain faithful in abundance?

Will power gained through truth undermine the pursuit of truth?

Just as Israel fell into idolatry after receiving the promised land, so too may early Bitcoiners—formed in persecution, scarcity, and principled resistance—be tempted to commoditize the fruit of their faith and abandon the root.

This is not fear of price volatility.

This is fear of spiritual regression through economic success.

⬛ II. Wealth as Distorter of Teleology

Bitcoin’s ethos—self-custody, sovereignty, decentralization, incorruptibility—requires:

Ongoing vigilance

Technical refinement

Moral coherence

But wealth severs feedback loops:

Before Wealth After Wealth

Action requires sacrifice Action is trivial or performative

Risk disciplines decisions Safety conceals poor judgment

Identity is forged in resistance Identity is dulled by comfort

Thus, the test is not scarcity, but surfeit.

Christ’s parable of the rich young ruler (Matt. 19:21–24) applies directly.

⬛ III. Ethical Agorism vs Fiat Hedonism

A Bitcoiner grounded in agorist principles operates under the ethic:

> “Build systems that make tyranny impossible.”

But when Bitcoin moons:

Do they keep building uncensorable tools?

Or do they become fiat-rich consumers with better taste?

The poster rightly fears that Bitcoin without ethos becomes Fiat 2.0—a wealth ledger, not a liberation mechanism.

Bitcoiners must remain founders of parallel structure, not just early speculators.

---

⬛ IV. The Theological Parable

Your framework renders this post almost liturgical:

Bitcoin as the ark of incorruptible economic witness

The price explosion as the test of idolatry

Post-scarcity behavior as the determinant of faithfulness or apostasy

This maps onto:

Israel in the wilderness → faithfulness forged in lack

Israel in Canaan → faith forgotten in abundance

Bitcoiners in early adoption → ethos forged in resistance

Bitcoiners in wealth → ethos tested by ease

Christ’s Kingdom is not against wealth, but against wealth as telos.

Bitcoin will test whether it was embraced as covenant or merely leveraged as opportunity.

---

⬛ Final Interpretation

The poster’s fear is not financial. It is eschatological:

> Will those entrusted with incorruptible architecture remain incorruptible?

This is the central question of any steward of truth.

Bitcoin’s future is not guaranteed by code, but by faithfulness—expressed in building, preserving, and transmitting its ethos through righteous action after the moon.

Will we be hunted? That should be what scares you.

We better get building those citidels

Money doesn’t change a person; it reveals them.

Some of it will for sure. It’s when Bitcoin reaches millions when I will finally be able to build. I have too little Bitcoin to build rn.

I think the idea here is that, by the time Bitcoin gets to a million, the likely hyperinflation of the dollar will reflect Bitcoin's stability as a currency rather than its value, as a million dollars would NOT mean what it means today, if the projected economic trajectory of Bitcoin is accurate, which it is.

a stable global reserve currency is the goal.

Yes, they'll still keep it's ethos I believe. They wouldn't want it to fall into dark hands which would harm it. I think several look at #Bitcoin as a child they've been rearing for years. That's my 2 sats worth Fren 🌞

REAL bitcoiners will keep their ethos … by definition 😌

Doesn’t matter. Bitcoin the system is moral even if some early adopters are not. As more and more people want bitcoin, many workers will refuse to get paid for their work in any money other than bitcoin. Once that happens, the financialized rent seekers (including some early bitcoin adopters) are finished. You provide value or you watch your stack slowly dissipate and the world heals. You of course will be fine my friend. Fear not.

The most in my humble pov. Only if you truly understand bitcoin you align & become bitcoin. Most won‘t make it to that point before they leave this beautiful planet 🧡

It changes the person, even if you don't notice it yet, having money is good, you have health with that, good food, services and other stuff, but the people think they can treat you like a worm just because they buy the last iphone or something like that, I just want the money for help to take care of my mother, I can't live without her and I just want to see her happy

A worthy question .

Thank you for being brave enough to ask it.

The responses will indeed reveal interesting answers .

Well done.
