Crazy to think, in a way... #Bitcoin has made me religious.

It has matured me, led me to truth seek, to understand the meaning of life, philosophy, history, spirituality, trust and faith.

If you still need help understand in God, look around. The outstanding beauty, intricate order and sublime harmony of all aspects of creation. As well as the tremendously vast expanse of the universe, all intended to draw mankind to an awareness of and apprehension for the creator and to worship him.

We are called by Chrust to become godlike. "God became man, so man can become god". This is theosis, as we ourselves become deified as we obtain the attributes from God, like a sword being heated in the fire.

God bless you all, and as #Bitcoin is a tool for human freedom and flourishing. We will win - Deus vult.

Well said!

I had a similar experience. In seeking truth you will inevitably become a Christian and a Bitcoiner. 🙏

With enough work and reading early church literature and scripture. I strongly believe this to be true as well. Very similar to #Bitcoin in a way...

Imo we say people should spend 100 hours studying #Bitcoin, then we must also spend the same amount of time studying early Christianity, the bible and the church fathers as these things are not just profitable for this life but for the judgement seat of Christ and the salvation of our souls.

During the early church times (Paul forming the church), Christians weren’t considered Christians until they spent 3 years studying and following the Gospel. Kind of reminds me of the 4 years for a bitcoiner to earn their stripes. Both require maximum conviction.

Love this. It does seem like a #Bitcoin cycle is similar to a catechism for Gentiles before being baptised and becoming members of the church. This time being needed like you say to study, and learn. Also made me think:

In the book of Acts, "the Way" refers to the early Christian movement.

Haha that is brilliant

Absolutely. This is a huge part of what made Orthodoxy appeal to me. The commitment to church history and preservation of tradition.
