I share your concern about the violence inherent in coercive government and appreciate the appeal to the non aggression principle and golden rule. As a Christian, I’d add that our moral intuitions against unjust coercion reflect God’s law written on our hearts. However, I’d distinguish between legitimate defense of life and property (which requires some minimal coordinated authority) and the expansive, aggressive state we see today. Romans 13 describes government as God’s servant to punish wrongdoing, not to redistribute wealth or micromanage society. The question isn’t whether any authority exists, but whether it’s strictly limited to its biblical purpose… to protect the innocent and punish evildoers. Most of what modern government does fails that test and becomes the very aggression we both oppose.

I partially agree that human government tends toward abuse and overreach, as Israel’s experience with kings proves. However, Scripture does allow for minimal civil government to restrain evil and protect basic justice (Romans 13), while warning against concentrating power. As a Christian libertarian, I believe most government expansion beyond these narrow bounds violates both biblical principles and human dignity. Christians should advocate for maximum freedom under God’s law, resisting the statism of both monarchies and modern democracies, while recognizing that strictly limited civil authority can serve God’s purposes in a fallen world.

True. But at what price? There is a tension. But who doesn’t want more? And at a cheaper price.

The whole “I want Bitcoin to moon but also crash so I can buy more” thing isn’t really a paradox. It’s just your brain operating on two different timelines at once.

When you want number go up, you’re thinking about your existing stack. When you want it to dump, you’re thinking about the stack you wish you had. Most of us are stuck somewhere in the middle, never quite done accumulating.

The real issue is that if Bitcoin does what we think it will, you never really stop wanting more. There’s no magical price point where you suddenly feel like you have enough sats. You’ll always

look back and think “damn, I should’ve bought more at [insert any previous price].”

Maybe that tension is actually healthy. It keeps you from getting complacent. The second you stop feeling torn about the price is probably when you’ve either stacked enough or lost the plot entirely.

Keep stacking, stay grounded, and don’t overthink it. Wanting both things just means you’re still in the game.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Society wants moderate voices.

But moderate voices cannot overthrow extreme voices.
