Imagine the amount of ministry potential for a #church that adopts #bitcoin (on any level - from % saving to full Bitcoin standard)
#Ministry requires resources. People. Buildings. Food. Training. Goods. Time. Etc.
Adopting Bitcoin becomes a multiplying empowering force much like a person coming to a pastor saying, “I have 100k, what ministry idea do you have?”
How many more people would be touched by the good news of Jesus?
Problem is from my personal experience is churches will literally be the very last institution that will embrace Bitcoin.
Chronic lack of caring about anything financial or economic by the elders in pretty much all churches despite how important both concepts are to their congregations AND despite how much the Bible touches on it in the OT and NT. Extremely disheartening
I will say, that is the exact opposite of my experience! Where I have been, people care about investments, budget, and spending, but typically for preservation sake and not a growth mindset. In these situations, the problem would be “that’s too volatile” or “that wouldn’t be good stewarding because we need to preserve what we have and not gamble”
Many churches use accounting software designed specifically for churches. If you could get those companies to integrate BTC, seems that would accelerate adoption. .
Some churches do use TheGivingBlock. Stories I’ve heard have all been about a sort of grassroots adoption - that true change happens when people within congregations request their church to become a Bitcoin church and do the education
