Oh yeah I saved this quote a while back for a spicy post but people are very sensitive about this subject. Jesus was a socialist and statist.

Marx surely wanted that to be true. This is obviously not the case. It's just Jewish trickery for the less gifted.
He makes a very interesting point about the ones using Caesar' money. Bitcoin, on the other hand... 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
It’s a weak argument in my opinion. Dollars have pictures of dead presidents on them but they don’t belong to them. In fact, during the lives of those presidents, there was no income tax or money printing. So those dollars truly belonged to the holders. And now that it’s all fiat, they belong to the central bankers which aren’t even part of the government.
The phrase "In God We Trust" first appeared on U.S. coins during the Civil War era and later became the national motto in 1956. It was officially mandated to appear on all American currency in 1955, and it first appeared on paper currency on October 1, 1957.
The earliest recorded usage of the phrase "In God We Trust" was in January 1748, when it was reported on the colors of Associators regiments. It was first inscribed on a U.S. coin, specifically the two-cent piece, in 1864. Theodore Roosevelt, at the suggestion of sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, briefly removed the phrase from some coins in 1904, but it was reinstated in 1908.
All the dead presidents served the same master. By using the dollars you abide to that organization. There's been a great confusion about who God is in this context.
The slave master?
Man, I think you missed the point:
Three Powerful Lessons in these scriptures:
1. Ceasar's money is Ceasar's [yours is yours]
2. The Power of Manifestation
3. The Power of Asking Questions as a weapon of self-defense (used to deflect entrapment in this case)
Did Jesus not determine the money belonged to Cesar simply because his face is on the coin?
I’m not religious so I try to just take these things at face value. I like using Occam’s razor with things like this. Not because I don’t believe in nuance, but because religious texts claim to be intended for all of humanity. Therefore, i think it is rational to assume “God” would provide simple messages. The lowest common denominator should be able to arrive at the same conclusion. The conclusion of the article is not what most people would arrive at.
Would you say bitcoin' proposition is easy or hard to get for a nocoiner?
It’s definitely hard because people are retarded. But most people don’t need to get it.
But for you or anyone else already in it is natural, right?
After putting in hundreds of hours studying it, learning about Austrian economics, and challenging goldbugs, yes it is now.
Like many of us who were stubborn at first... 🤭
Now let's say your cousin Moe sees you're into bitcoin and he just starts believing in it without putting in the work, like really really believing in jt. Then he immediately pours into bitcoin everything he has.
You are a bitcoiner. Moe is a bitcoiner. Is Moe wrong?
Hmm I don’t think so because there isn’t conviction. Conviction requires a deep understanding. New information could easily push him out.
Well, I do. Moe looks at you like a god. He trust you blindly. He will never sell, only spend.
The same happens with Bible study. Both left and right sides of the bell curve arrive at a similar conclusion.
At best, top of the curve thinks the Bible is an engineered psyop by an Italian old family. Or just a collection of fairytales.
Bitcoiners don’t have gods or heroes. They shouldn’t blindly follow someone like Saylor or Odell. That’s the problem. People have this inclination to idol worship and blindly follow authority. I think real Bitcoiners have deeply internalized don’t trust verify.
What do you think is the point of having a Bible, or any religious text, if it’s too difficult for the common sheep to interpret? If you have go to a church and be told what it all means.
No, nothing like that. No heroes, just deeply connected to the protocol directly without putting in the study. Stranger things have happened.
All I'm saying is that it can be understood on different levels. When it comes to binary decisions, the idiot and the genius find themselves on the same side and they both benefit from the lucky coincidence. I'm joking tho, there's no luck involved here.
And yeah, it can be verified too. Jesus did not draft any priests in his dream team of 12. Not that there are no decent ones still doing the good work as we speak. As an institution of large proportions it has been captured by fiat money long ago.
