When Bitcoin arrives, it does something unprecedented. It confronts you with reality that exists independent of opinion. A fixed supply of 21 million, written into its foundation. Mathematics that can’t be manipulated by consensus. Encryption that makes counterfeiting impossible. No authorities, no boardrooms, no appeals to trust.

It simply is. Unchanging. Real whether anyone accepts it or not.

And suddenly the implications become unavoidable. Hold on, if this exists as objective reality, what else does? If monetary truth can be anchored in something absolute, what other aspects of existence operate this way? What has been obscured by decades of relativism and monetary manipulation?

The inquiry cascades. Cynics revisit philosophical texts they abandoned after university. Materialists who dismissed religious thought as mythology begin examining Scripture, not seeking solace initially, but searching for answers. They’re hunting for other pillars of objective truth, other foundations that don’t shift.

Then they encounter John 14:6: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

Christ. There’s your foundation. He is absolute reality personified. It’s been Christ from the beginning. Always.

Liberty isn’t lawlessness or “do whatever feels right.” Liberty emerges from alignment with what actually exists, with the One who established existence itself. You cannot experience genuine freedom while operating against the design of your Creator.

Bitcoin is introductory material. A pale reflection of ultimate reality. It trains our eyes to recognize order and objective truth. But it’s merely an echo. The same way creation itself, forests and oceans and stars, points beyond itself to the source.

Every truth originates from God.

Christ is truth incarnate. And truth liberates you.

I started slowly slowly exploring this over the last few months. I've barely told anyone. I was brought up in a different religion, but it's rarely been a source of comfort (which makes me sad tbh)

It’s worth every minute you invest your time into this. Just like Bitcoin. Only I’d say, it’s more important.

Amen brother

Amen and amen!! That's very profound and Bitcoin was designed to reset the dial back to proof of work money instead of proof of stake money; which fiat is.

are you ready for the next step?

Haha. That’s a good one arkinox. Big deep breath, ready?

This analogy completely collapses because Bitcoin’s “truth” is derivative. It points beyond itself to mathematical and cryptographic principles that exist whether Bitcoin exists or not. But Christ doesn’t point beyond Himself. He is the Logos, the eternal Word by which all things were made and by which all things hold together. He’s not a pointer to truth. He is truth itself, ontologically.

The altcoin comparison would only work if Protestant denominations claimed to be different saviors or alternative gospels. They don’t. Every legitimate Protestant denomination confesses the same Apostles’ Creed, the same Nicene Creed, the same Christ as fully God and fully man, crucified and resurrected. The disagreements are about church government, sacramental theology, and applications of Biblical teaching, not about who Christ is.
