If you’re concerned with people acquiring property through political means rather than economic means, why would it make sense to abandon the political philosophy that advocates abolishing the political means of acquiring property?
The Early Church was not a State, properly defined as a territorial monopoly on the use of force. I'll try to be as succinct as I can in my explanation here but it's going to be long regardless.
6 But when they said, “Give us a king to lead us,” this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the Lord. 7 And the Lord told him: “Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king. 8 As they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you. 9 Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will claim as his rights.”
10 Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking him for a king. 11 He said, “This is what the king who will reign over you will claim as his rights: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots. 12 Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. 13 He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. 14 He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants. 15 He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants. 16 Your male and female servants and the best of your cattle[a] and donkeys he will take for his own use. 17 He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves. 18 When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, but the Lord will not answer you in that day.”
- 1 Samuel 8:6-18
The State, again properly defined as the organization which claims a territorial monopoly on the use of force, is condemned repeatedly throughout the Bible but nowhere as succinctly as here. God literally tells Samuel that by asking for a king, the Jewish elders are not rejecting Samuel, but God Himself.
12 The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. 13 They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting,
“Hosanna!”
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”
“Blessed is the king of Israel!”
14 Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written:
15 “Do not be afraid, Daughter Zion;
see, your king is coming,
seated on a donkey’s colt.”
Jesus' return to Jerusalem on Palm Sunday signifies, among other things, God taking back His rightful place once more as king of His people, ending the failed experiment (that God nonetheless used for His glory) of human kings ruling over Gods people that began all the way back in 1 Samuel 8. Modern Christians would do well to reflect upon this when considering which master they will choose to serve.
8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”
10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’”
- Matthew 4:8-10
Control over the State is one of the three temptations used by the Adversary to tempt Jesus in the wilderness. Jesus' response makes it clear that we should reject the temptation of control over the kingdoms of this world, as to seek the power over others which the State wields would be to reject God and serve another master.
That's the best primer on the topic I've got in me, but if you really want to do a deep dive I really recommend this book ( https://libertarianchristians.com/store/faith-seeking-freedom ). It's not too long of a read, but covers all aspects of this topic in far better detail and with far more scriptural references than I'm able to do.
Does this work for the TOR addresses for applications too?
Gotta love the homemakers, kids get a better childhood experience and the state get less tax money. 
This is certainly part of the cause for lower birth rates, but I think the prevalence of state-funded old age welfare is a huge factor too.
In the past, aging parents relied on their children to help take care of them. In an age of the mass forced transfer of wealth from the young to the old in the form of Social Security and similar programs in other countries, the past few generations have enjoyed the financial benefits of having children without paying the costs of having to actually raise them. While this certainly doesn’t discourage everyone, the effects of incentives are seen on the margin. We shouldn’t be surprised that government subsidies covering for the lack of support from children leads to less children being born.
Allowing the old to live off of other people’s children rather than needing to either have their own savings, their own children, or both, is one of the greatest mistakes of the 20th century. I’m hopeful that it’s an idea that dies with fiat currency.
When there's things that are overvalued you don't want to be owning those things when people realize they're overvalued.
The point is to get real things of value, but get them for the smallest amount of fiat. That way the fiat you saved can go to buy sats.
Hot take: It’s a good idea to hold extra fiat during times of economic turmoil. Things tend to drop in price when there’s metaphorical blood in the streets, making it a great opportunity to buy things of real value.

I think it’s partially because the Old Testament is a lot more nuanced than the New Testament. People tend to prefer a far more obvious message to a nuanced one.
It was tough. I did get one transaction to go through, the guy wasn’t using lightning so he way overpaid on fees. nostr:npub1e2rd2k45ym2jmctnysfadxumrvrr57vqj69ck6trt2y62c40r0kqs9lx8t got a few Venmo transactions through from no coiners.
Your husband sounds like nostr:npub1e2rd2k45ym2jmctnysfadxumrvrr57vqj69ck6trt2y62c40r0kqs9lx8t getting excited about a random plant while walking through the woods.

I think the biggest potential risk/problem with widespread Bitcoin adoption is the reaction by governments.
If institutions long used to being able to finance largess with money printing suddenly find themselves in a world where they’re no longer able to do so, they are likely to feel backed into a corner. Desperate governments do desperate things, and we’re talking about organizations with lots of kinetic power they could bring to bear.
That’s at least the best steel man I can think of. I don’t personally find it compelling, at least not to say widespread Bitcoin adoption would be a net negative.
Not your keys, not your meetup group.
In all seriousness I’d be fine with that, but we wanted to get things moving quickly so we just went with it.
I just bit the bullet on that one.
Why do you think this opinion is unpopular?
I don’t know that I’d call nostr uncensorable exactly. The protocol itself certainly isn’t censorable, but specific notes or users being censorable at the relay level or through muting them is built into the design, and I rather appreciate that.
I’m waiting on a paid relay that bans all the porn bots, that’s some censorship (or curation if you prefer) I’d not only encourage but actually pay extra for.

Maybe the percentage is higher, but I don’t think the overall number could be given the gap in the number of users of each.
