“Come, follow me,” the Savior said.
Then let us in his footsteps tread,
For thus alone can we be one
With God’s own loved, begotten Son.
“Come, follow me,” a simple phrase,
Yet truth’s sublime, effulgent rays
Are in these simple words combined
To urge, inspire the human mind.
Is it enough alone to know
That we must follow him below,
While trav’ling thru this vale of tears?
No, this extends to holier spheres.
Not only shall we emulate
His course while in this earthly state,
But when we’re freed from present cares,
If with our Lord we would be heirs.
We must the onward path pursue
As wider fields expand to view,
And follow him unceasingly,
Whate’er our lot or sphere may be.
For thrones, dominions, kingdoms, pow’rs,
And glory great and bliss are ours,
If we, throughout eternity,
Obey his words, “Come, follow me.”
-John Nicholson
We know from the Bible that those who receive the Mark of the Beast will be destroyed by God. Why would God destroy those who choose to use ethical money that encourages personal responsibility, an eternal mindset, and freedom? And why 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘯'𝘵 God destroy those who choose to use money based on lies, war, and slavery, and encourages instant gratification, wasteful living, and division?
Those who think that Bitcoin could be the Mark of the Beast need to wake up to the reality that we've already had the Mark of the Beast for at least several decades (though CBDCs will definitely make that worse). Like with the ark and the flood, or the angels who led Lot out of Sodom, or Moses leading the Children of Israel out of Egypt, and of course like Yeshua Himself freeing us from our sins, Bitcoin is our means of escaping Babylon even more.
"...all things which have been given of God from the beginning of the world, unto man, are the typifying of [Christ]."
My mom is visiting, and she was on a video call with her siblings earlier today. The subject of the possibility of the dollar's collapse came up, and my mom was like, "Hey, let me get my son on this call. He knows a lot about this subject."
She called me over, and I sat next to her on the call with some of my aunts and uncles. I answered their questions (one of my aunts is understandably concerned for the dollars she has in a savings account), and gave them my opinions. At first, they didn't know the difference between a CBDC, Bitcoin, and crypto. I cleared that up for them, and explained all the benefits of #Bitcoin, but they immediately began saying that they were going to buy all the gold and silver they could. Everything I tried to say after that fell in deaf ears.
It felt like I was on the Titanic, explaining the difference between the iceberg, paper boats, and actual life boats. And despite all that, the people I was speaking to decided to start looking for broken doors they could float on, when there were still plenty of available seats on the lifeboats. My mom said that she's too "old fashioned" to feel comfortable with Bitcoin yet, but that she's still learning more from me all the time. But her siblings still have a 𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜 way to go. 😞
I've now seen 3 Bitcoiners (2 in Notes, and 1 in a vote below) who seem to think that sound money is a human right, which is very troubling. Here's the harsh truth: 𝙎𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙮 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙖 𝙝𝙪𝙢𝙖𝙣 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩.
Sound money is a human need, but needs are not the same as rights. We also need food, clothing, shelter, education, health care, and other things, but only woke socialists believe that those things are human rights. Rights are negative in nature, in that they protect us from being harmed by others in some way, but they never force anyone to provide something for someone else's benefit. If sound money (i.e. Bitcoin) were a human right, then it would of necessity violate another's right to liberty in order for them to run a node and a miner, and provide a usable wallet for you.
We need sound money, and have never been privileged to enjoy it before Bitcoin, but to think it's a human right is a sign of entitlement and pride, which is the beginning of the end.
"When money is easy to make, society begins to break." -Satoshi Nakamoto, The Tuttle Twins
I love this sign, and I want one, except for the last line. Sorry, I don't mean to be "that guy", but sound money is not a human right. It's a human need, for sure, but not a right. Our rights come from God, or at least are inherent in our beings, and are negative (meaning that others are NOT allowed to do certain things, like take your life, liberty, and property). If sound money (which has never existed before) is a human right, then that would force others (namely Bitcoin miners) to provide that sound money for you, which would violate their right to liberty.
Just as food, shelter, clothing, and education are human needs, but not human rights, sound money (a.k.a. Bitcoin) is not a right, but a need.
Okay, I'm done.

Unschooling is the natural way that adults learn every day.
If we want to prepare our children for adulthood, why would we willingly choose to have them learn any other way?
Unpopular opinion:
Fiat currency, both in ancient times and today, is the Mark of the Beast mentioned in the Revelation of the Apostle John. Spiritual Babylon, which is also talked about in John's Revelation, is the overall fiat system, a kingdom built on lies and coercion, and reliant on high time preference.
"Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication."
-Revelation 14:8
"Ye elders of Israel, come join now with me
And seek out the righteous, where’er they may be—
In desert, on mountain, on land, or on sea—
And bring them to Zion, the pure and the free.
O Babylon, O Babylon, we bid thee farewell;
We’re going to the mountains of Ephraim to dwell.
The harvest is great, and the lab’rers are few;
But if we’re united, we all things can do.
We’ll gather the wheat from the midst of the tares
And bring them from bondage, from sorrows and snares.
O Babylon, O Babylon, we bid thee farewell;
We’re going to the mountains of Ephraim to dwell.
We’ll go to the poor, like our Captain of old,
And visit the weary, the hungry, and cold;
We’ll cheer up their hearts with the news that He bore
And point them to Zion and life evermore.
O Babylon, O Babylon, we bid thee farewell;
We’re going to the mountains of Ephraim to dwell."
-Cyrus H. Wheelock

You likely won't get rich quick -- or at all -- by 💩coining, though. Most likely, you'll get rekt, and help make the founders and the exchange rich quick at your and everyone else's expense.
But you *will* get smart and sovereign quick by bitcoining.
wen android? 😁
I was immediately reminded of www.noah.com
But then, I'm probably biased. 😉
This is amazing! I especially liked the part starting around 11 and a half minutes in, when Guy explains that the government printing 6 trillion dollars is roughly equivalent to deleting all the lives, labors, and choices of 3 million people.
Imagine if that many people were literally Thanos-snapped out of existence. The outrage would be everywhere. But because it's hidden by the money printer, no one says a thing (except Bitcoiners, of course).
