And dismissing everything as "socialism" is to deny that humans have always despised hoarders and greedy rich people. They are unnatural monopolists.

Marx didn't have to invent that, he just tapped into it because the wealthy of the time ignored the plight of the poor and were grotesquely decadent. Same as at the end of the Roman Era, when Christ rose in a countermovement of personal sacrifice, community cooperation, the last shall be first, the rich will have trouble getting in to Heaven, but God hears the cry of the poor.

Christians have increasingly forgotten this lesson and now many love money more than God. How many would give up their Precious and follow Him?

envy is envy, no matter what the excuse is, it's a sin

making sacrifices for the betterment of others is a choice, and nobody has the right to judge others for withholding or storing up their resources, because it is a presumption to say that it is for their own amusement, you know full well and have recently even said "i stack sats to help others"

not being poor is important to being able to help others, ultimately someone has to do it because if we only focus on persuading others to give then we forget how that can even happen

Ah cool, we back to coveting oxen again!

I live a relatively good natured life, I don’t steal, commit adultery, take another human’s life, nor do I live beyond my means or succumb to gluttony.

However, the moment my neighbour gets an ox I can’t help but covert the mofo.

Gets me every time smh.

yeah, it is such a yawningly tiresome subject

what i do with my stuff is my business and i take offense at the presumption that it is ok to shame me for my choices to be distanced from the world around me, especially now, as if it is really any different than any time ever

the whole canard of "hoarding" is a smear and an act of social aggression, because actual hoarding is a form of insanity, and i am pretty sure almost everyone has known or encountered someone in their life whose house is filled up with old magazines, news papers, or some other fetish object

we need saving AS MUCH as spending, that should be obvious, without saving there can be no charity, without saving there can be no ability to switch from one thing to another when the crops fail or the herd is taken by a disease or an enemy invades

Everyone always wants to revert to slavery, as long as it isn't them... 😂🤕

Allegedly it's fine if you make it universal & fractional... 🤪

and it always eventually degrades to despotism, and that leads to a revolution, and around the circle of stupidity we go

If you have received a massive fortune FROM GOD (everything good is from God) and you are not putting any of it to good use, here and now, then that is clearly wrong. Christians are obliged to spend their talents.

We are not to put our faith in kings, but we are also not to fear the future and scrounge money, rather than being merely prudent. God will provide for us and our children. He said He would and I believe Him, even if they don't.

prudence is a virtue

Yes. Being as rich as Krösus no longer falls under prudence.

i can agree with this, it's a clear case of zorba or midas syndrome

a clear sign of worshiping money, and vanity

Some of the people on here, mocking those of us zapping, have that sort of Bitcoin stack.

🇵🇸 whoever loves Digit 1y ago

Implement doge zaps (yaps) and/or Monero tips and I will join the circle with my God Given Stack

Otherwise see that I pump your holdings by keeping more of mine out of lightning ⛓️

I think there are projects underway for altcoins and stable coins. I have, at least, seen them discussed.

I'm looking up the antidotes to Midas syndrome as I plan to be prescribed at some point

another way I think of this is as follows: he is the most visible CEO figure in Bitcoin, and selling his or donating it is akin to a CEO selling their stock. it rugs the shareholders and reduces our faith in the asset he promotes. but I'm relatively new here so he was the best marketer to me

That's fine. I am aware of how famous he is and have seen his interviews over the years.

He's been pumping my bags.

and for that, God bless him

I hope that he be blessed. Amen.
