I’m not discrediting the individuals who own the accounts. I’m simply being critical of the information the account provides.

I want to make this clear. I follow both these accounts because I enjoy reading their posts. I’m not confident these posts are accurate in the information they’re claiming.

The CarlBMenger account never provided a government link or anything official to prove the claim.

The idea of a future cashless society is often linked to certain passages in the Book of Revelation, the final book of the New Testament. Specifically, Revelation chapter 13 is frequently cited. This chapter describes a scenario involving the “mark of the beast” and notes that no one will be able to buy or sell unless they have this mark.

While it doesn’t explicitly say “cashless society” in modern terms, many people interpret this passage as a prophecy about a future system where traditional money is replaced by some form of controlled transaction method. It’s a widely discussed interpretation but not a direct quote about cashless economies as we think of them today.

Read the passage and interpret this for yourself.

“The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.”

“In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ””

“Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”

He’s so high you can’t get over him, he’s so low you can’t get under him, he’s so wide you can’t get around him, you must enter in through the door.

“The platform captured all the value of those additional connections through advertising revenue, data mining, and algorithmic control. You captured none of it. Worse, your ability to actually reach people diminished as the network grew. Organic reach plummeted. The feed became pay-to-play.

The digital age has given us a new confusion where we think follower counts equal power. But authority doesn’t come from announcing you have it or collecting people who click a button. Real authority flows from legitimate sources, whether divine mandate, institutional office, or respect earned through years of demonstrated wisdom. The influencer who mistakes his platform for something more has misunderstood what he possesses. He has volume and reach, but these are morally neutral tools that amplify whatever is already there in the man himself.

A follower count gives you exposure, and exposure cuts both ways. More eyes mean more witnesses to your character, which either confirms your virtue or accelerates your unmasking. The man of genuine substance grows more credible under scrutiny. The fraud crumbles in proportion to the attention he receives. This is why time remains the great revealer. The influencer whose impact evaporates with his relevance was never really influential. He was just loud when people happened to be listening.

True influence works differently. It shapes how people think, adjusts their moral understanding, and reorients their grasp of reality. You can’t manufacture this through metrics. It only emerges from a life lived with enough integrity that others recognize something worth emulating, something true enough to reorganize their lives around. The crowd applauds today and condemns tomorrow because crowds respond to performance. But the man who has actually influenced someone has created something more durable. He has transferred wisdom or virtue in a way that lasts regardless of whether the masses noticed.

The question isn’t how many people follow you. It’s whether you’re worth following. And only time can answer that.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

In other words, give the government back what is theirs.

“Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay the imperial tax to Caesar or not?” But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, “You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? Show me the coin used for paying the tax.” They brought him a denarius, and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they replied. Then he said to them, “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.”

nostr is a space where you can get “value for value”.

This means that you receive something of value by providing something that others see as valuable.

bitcoin will continually increase in value because of its absolute pre-programmed, predictable scarcity. This is one of the reasons it operates as an excellent medium of exchange.

If you want to get some of this value you must provide something to a space that others are willing to exchange their bitcoin (value) for what you’re offering.

nostr is an permission-less space where NOONE and NOTHING can stop the exchange of value (bitcoin). bitcoin can be used by anyone/anything without permission by anyone/anything (government).

You are truly free here. This is why nostr and the implementation of bitcoin as a medium to exchange value here is so powerful. Get it…?

I just left my accountant. My 2024 income tax preparation is complete.

I become more and more confident in Bitcoin every time I consider the amount of taxes and the way in which I’m taxed by the government.

“Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech. They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.””

Founded in 1989 by Bryan Stevenson, a widely acclaimed public interest lawyer and bestselling author of Just Mercy, EJI is a private, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides legal representation to people who have been illegally convicted, unfairly sentenced, or abused in state jails and prisons. We challenge the death penalty and excessive punishment and we provide re-entry assistance to formerly incarcerated people.

Maybe Ross and the free Ross “movement” will continue the work of advocating for people who have been unfairly sentenced like how he was, excessively punished like how he was, and or illegally convicted.

It would be nice to see the “movement” to free Ross continue to highlight all the others throughout history who have suffered like him. Let’s see…
