Thanksgiving Day in the United States is this Thursday, so I reviewed a very special book in my corpus of Bitcoin content, called “𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬 𝘎𝘰𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘉𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘰𝘪𝘯”, by Derek Waltchack, Gabe Higgins, nostr:npub1z85hnvnug2ap6qrup4dr4f8m53aa6tvrfk8y6pqd4te2l0ulkuzqsvy9dq, nostr:npub10vlhsqm4qar0g42p8g3plqyktmktd8hnprew45w638xzezgja95qapsp42, nostr:npub14f0xen78ed7rgvw39v82fwp7tv65yasz2gsgpf4gvxy4q5nlsydsk37k3l, Julia Tourianski, nostr:npub1ylepraz59lvf6eeultg4kmvr3nza2ftpt2hgd90drh8tcwdjmtdss8xgy8, and nostr:npub15vzuezfxscdamew8rwakl5u5hdxw5mh47huxgq4jf879e6cvugsqjck4um.

This book presents Bitcoin as 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺, comparing it to 𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀. It’s a powerful exploration of Bitcoin’s transformative potential, especially as seen from a Christian perspective.

However, 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙗𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝘾𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙨. If you believe differently, or if you don’t believe in any kind of Supreme Being, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘦 for being blessed with Bitcoin. And these insights should assist you with that.

Alright, let’s get started.⏬

𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 #𝟭: 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆’𝘀 𝗜𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆

The history of money is 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, as rulers consistently debased currencies to fund wars and enrich themselves at the expense of citizens. Coins were clipped, mixed with cheaper metals, and manipulated, 𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆'𝘀 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗳𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲. But Bitcoin's fixed supply prevents this historic exploitation.

𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 #𝟯: 𝗖𝗵𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗯𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗠𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻

Churches burdened with debt lose their prophetic voice and become servants to banks instead of God. The prosperity gospel, as taught in many churches, is the worship of money cloaked in faith, and 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗵’𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻.

𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 #𝟰: 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗛𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲

Bitcoin's scarcity 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘴 𝘴𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 over consuming. This leads individuals to adopt a long-term mindset, which makes them want to build a legacy by starting a family.

𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 #𝟱: 𝗚𝗼𝗱'𝘀 𝗚𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆

Far from being “the root of all evil”, 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘨𝘪𝘧𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘎𝘰𝘥 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘦.
