Romans 7 & 8 provide the most powerful case for Bitcoin as a Christianity-aligned tool as exists in the Bible.

Here in Romans 7, Paul describes a pattern we see replicated in fiat. A corrupt system forces us to make choices that we can see are wrong or short-sighted. You feel compelled to borrow and spend even if you know those aren’t the right things to do. You want to save, but even if you think you are saving - your savings disappear. There is a force stronger than you that is guiding your actions, and until you step outside of it and recognize the corruption of that system - you are a slave to it. Fiat is sin in this example.

“We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭7‬:‭14‬-‭20‬ ‭NIV‬‬
