Can you not buy or sell unless you use it? I'll start to consider this argument when bitcoin gets co-opted into being a global surveillance and control token. That could happen in a sense (via bitcoin-backed alternative currencies), but such a thing would be essentially the opposite of bitcoin.

But this also adopts the frame of the premils. Read James Jordan's "The Vindication of Jesus Christ" for a very different approach to revelation. For example, he considers the idea of buying and selling as symbolic of access to the Jewish temple. Dispensational Premillennialism is a very narrow, historically idiosyncratic approach to revelation, and yet so many people take its framework for granted.
Bitcoin is on track to back Fiat currency. I don’t think it would be a stretch for it to back other alternative currencies one day.
I appreciate the insight! It’s helpful!
