I was just wondering if Pope Leo has heard of Bitcoin. Maybe, since he's a mathematician from Chicago.

Hard currencies are so important for the well-being of the poor.

Didn’t he spend most of his time living somewhere tho?

Yes, Peru.

Thank you.

Is there a large bitcoin presence in Peru?

I don't know. More in Argentina, right?

Probably?

If he comes to Chicago, you can orange-pill him, nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle

Ah yes the Catholic Church bitcoin reserve

I'd like to open a channel to the Vatican, please.

We need holy Mecca to get on with this reserve thing for the Muslims

Everyone talks about riba and usury and whatnot, and it's like,

For his age, I think he's probably part of the "Bitcoin is a ponzi" crowd.

Oh, I hope not. Trying to not get my hopes up, tho. Bitcoin gets so much bad press. So unfair.

Then again I have seen more boomers and gen X get involved in BTC than ever before so that makes me fairly optimistic that he may change his tune.

I was going to write something about this, but then i thought it will sound offensive to catholics...

Well, hard money and avoiding usury are big Catholic topics.

Avoiding usury is a big topic for Islam too. And i like this trend...

Especially popes named Leo

I think getting on Nostr should be a priority so he can digitally sign his edicts when he publishes them to Alexandria.

I suspect he is a Bitcoiner:

Vatican SBR on the way.

if the name is an omen, he will be my type of pope

Vatican is the OG Strategic Reserve

Popes stacking bars⚱️

Will knowing topics like #bitcoin be a priority for Pope?

His namesake predecessor wrote Rarum Novarum, the preeminent Catholic social teaching, which covers labor ethics, and he has spent decades in third world South America (Peru), so money and currency should be something he ought to be addressing.

If he could condemn printing money and thus stealing from the populace, that would be step one. Step two might be to speak on what good money actually is, which will then allow us to show how Bitcoin meets the criteria and is a better money than all its predecessors.
