There is a T-shaped controlled stop near my house that I encounter every day while leaving and returning home to my house. I have a full view of the other roads upon approaching the stop. Obviously, when anyone arrives at the stop around the same time, I stop and obey the sign.

And equally obviously (after looking carefully), I do not obey the stop sign when no one is there.

And neither should you.

Why?

Because signs exist to serve people. People do not exist to serve signs. This is also true of laws more broadly: they exist to serve the interests of God and people, not the other way around.

The worst atrocities in the history of humanity have come at the hands of institutionalized tyranny, not the lone-ranger anarchist. Wicked rulers have sought to weaponize the consciences of their people for their benefit and to ignore that historical reality is risky, reckless, and foolish.

I fully appreciate the dangers on both sides of such a statement. They are real and must be taken seriously. But neither unquestioning obedience nor unquestioned disobedience is worthy of people bearing the image of God. Life is a war, and in war, you take risks that you would otherwise avoid in peacetime. Calculated intentional risk-taking is not optional. It is the path of obedience.

Ignoring the stop sign is practice for cultivating resistance to other forms of thoughtlessness that cost much more.

What’s your stop sign?

Honey badger don’t care!

God designed humanity to look at people and see Him, then love, serve, and live for His glory and our neighbors’ good as a result.

Humanity has been corrupted to see people and calculate their value in derivative human currencies in order to accumulate glory and power for themselves at the cost of their neighbor’s good.

We must put that impulse to death.

Bitcoiners have been right about a staggering amount of what is happening in the tradfi world.

Stay humble, anon.

The combination of Bitcoin's track record and your humility is far more potent than giving into the temptation to dunk on the average no-coiner.

Currency devaluation is the most consequential phenomenon in the world today and yet it wouldn’t crack the top 200 most important issues in the minds of 99% of the global population.

#Bitcoin drags it into the light.

It’s easy to tear down and destroy, and hard to create and build up.

Currency devaluation systematically tears down cultures, while sound currencies are the result of a hard working and fruitful people.

Fruit doesn’t just happen. It is borne of a seed, and in the case of sound currencies that seed is the conviction the there is something deeper, more truthful, and more valuable than the positivistic pursuit of power.

“Desperate times call for faithful men, and not for careful men. The careful men come later, and write the biographies of the faithful men, lauding them for their courage.” - Pastor Douglas Wilson

Pass it on.

New site, who dis?

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

If you keep using their currency, there’s no incentive for them to change.

#Bitcoin fixes this.

All advice is investment advice.

Whether someone is advising you about what to do with your money, your time, your work, your relationships, your health, your thoughts, your hopes, your talents/abilities, or anything else, they are seeking to affect your stewardship of the resources and relationships you’ve been entrusted with.
