If Satlantis were a physical city. ๐
Season 4 episode 1 of The Chosen aired tonight, and I'm so glad I now have a template for this meme that doesn't come from "Joker":

Watch the whole episode on The Chosen App, and start from the very beginning if you haven't seen it yet.
For those unaware, the prophecy tells of a future (for Ezra, the brother of Daniel from the Old Testament) kingdom that was represented by an eagle with 3 sleeping heads. The majority of it gives clues that tie the prophecy to the United States, starting in 1929 with President Hoover (since that's likely when the "Deep State" really got going).
The feathers on the eagle's wings represent "kings", and each feather stands up for a time when they're in power, before lying back down at the end of their term. We can link this to the presidents since Hoover because one of them stands for twice as long as the longest duration of the others (FDR), and others lie back down before their time was supposed to be up (Kennedy, Nixon, Trump, and soon Biden). Lining up all the feathers with presidents, there's a perfect match.
The Kennedy feather goes down before its time because he was assassinated by conspirators. The Nixon feather goes down before its time because he resigned under pressure from the same conspirators. Trump legitimately won the 2020 election due to fraud that was perpetrated by the same conspiracy. The prophecy states that the feather following Trump, Biden, stood for less time than the Trump feather, so this same secret organization will likely cause something to happen to get rid of Biden before his full term is complete.
After that, things get really interesting. Another feather starts to rise, as the next would-be president starts to get ready to take office, but then that same secret organization takes them out, too, before they can officially take office. Then someone else tries to rise to power, but the same thing happens again. That's when the 3 heads begin to wake up.
The 3 heads are not the 3 branches of government, but 3 additional, very very bad dictators that will each take over the United States, rule for a time, then get taken out by the next head. When the 3rd one falls, the eagle kingdom will be destroyed and replaced by a lion kingdom, which represents the Kingdom of God on Earth. It will be a kingdom of freedom and prosperity, repairing all the damage from the previous wicked rulers. As Bitcoiners, regardless of your religious affiliation (or lack thereof), we're building the foundation of that lion kingdom.
Better buckle up.
If you don't know about Ezra's prophecy of the nation that would be represented by an eagle, you should probably look into it, especially after today's events.
It might all be invalidated on 20 January 2025, but if Biden is no longer our president any time before that date, then the prophecy will be verified (again), and we will be very close to the complete collapse of the United States, and the rise of the "lion" kingdom.
It might be worth looking into.

Maybe a little too early, but the right time will be here soon enough.
True story: A couple years ago I thought of one day opening up a "dollar store" type of business, and calling it "The Sat Shack".
My wife hates that name, though. ๐
I just returned from a wedding, and gave the happy couple a copy of "21 Questions" as a wedding gift:

The bride was orange-pilled a few years ago, but her now-husband hasn't looked into Bitcoin much.
I included a sticker from nostr:npub18kpw3akvdsyk239lx0jgwksr74sq4nlha3r8u9g2rnrhztfpfhysy469c4 so they can continue learning after they're done with the book.

Yep.
The halving happens a little less than every 4 years. If Satoshi had started Bitcoin a little more than a month later, like in mid-February 2009, then with all else being equal, the first halving would've happened in early 2013. And gradually, the halving dates will continue to drift earlier and earlier in the year, until eventually one of the halvings will no longer happen in a US presidential election year.
But by then, Bitcoin will have leveraged that impeccable timing towards its own hyperbitcoinization, and won't need that kind of timing anymore.
Indeed, there are no coincidences.
๐ฏ% correct. Sorry, I didnโt mean to suggest that we donโt need to gather together in Christ, or avoid churches altogether. Jesus said that the two greatest commandments are to love God and love our neighbors. How can we love our neighbors if we arenโt fellowshipping with them and ministering to their needs? Plus: โwhere two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.โ
The truth is that all centralized organizations eventually become corrupt, no matter how pure or noble their intentions were at the onset. But a decentralized network of Followers of the Way โ guiding and strengthening each other,and each with an abiding personal relationship with Jesus thatโs rooted deeply in their souls โ cannot be corrupted.
Gathering in churches is helpful for us in our efforts to live and bless each other, but only Jesus Christ is necessary for salvation.
Thanks for your comment! ๐
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the first, last, and ultimate decentralized protocol.

The point of decentralization is to not have a single point of failure. The Pharisees also thought Jesus was the center of what they saw as His cult, known back then as simply "The Way," and believed that if they had Him killed, that would be the end of it.
Quite the contrary, it only solidified the Gospel. Not because they "created a martyr"; that only solidified Jesus' teachings in the minds of His disciples (which was important, but not part of the Gospel itself). But it was because Jesus had to be killed to rise again and break the bands of sin and death for all of us. His resurrection was the finishing touch to His Father's Gospel protocol.

What is this protocol exactly? To some members of a couple lost tribes of the House of Israel, (some of His "other sheep" - see John 10:16), Jesus taught:

That is the protocol. Jesus has a central role in it, the way cryptography does in Bitcoin, but that doesn't make it centralized. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐น ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ฝ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐น๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ถ๐บ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐. You can think of it like each individual who turns their life over to Christ becoming a "node", with a full copy of the protocol contained within them.
Jesus warned those lost tribes, though, that some people would try to pass off more or less than this protocol as His doctrine:
"๐๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ด๐ฐ ๐ด๐ฉ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ค๐ญ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ด, ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ฆ๐ด๐ต๐ข๐ฃ๐ญ๐ช๐ด๐ฉ ๐ช๐ต ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ฎ๐บ ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ค๐ต๐ณ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฆ, ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ด๐ข๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ต๐ฉ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ฆ๐ท๐ช๐ญ, ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ช๐ด ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ช๐ญ๐ต ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ฎ๐บ ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ค๐ฌ; ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ต ๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ช๐ญ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ต๐ฉ ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ข ๐ด๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ๐บ ๐ง๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ, ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐จ๐ข๐ต๐ฆ๐ด ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ญ ๐ด๐ต๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ค๐ฆ๐ช๐ท๐ฆ ๐ด๐ถ๐ค๐ฉ ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ง๐ญ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ด ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ด ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ข๐ต ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฎ."
There are many who claim that repentance or baptism aren't necessary, because God's grace is freely available to all. Many others say that in addition to all that Jesus taught, things like baptism must be done through men who have been given authority by other men, and then that our salvation must be confirmed by our works. Both groups have an element of truth, but neither one is totally true: The first declares less than what Jesus taught, the second declares more, therefore they are both built on a sandy foundation, and not on the rock of Jesus and His Gospel.
This isn't to say, though, that the above quote is all the scripture we need! All other true scriptures delve deep into Jesus' Gospel, to explore and expound on it, but they never remove or add anything to it. ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ช๐ด ๐ฏ๐ฐ ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฅ to all the good that can be said about Jesus and His Gospel. As John said:
"๐๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ข๐ญ๐ด๐ฐ ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฏ๐บ ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ๐ด ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ช๐ค๐ฉ ๐๐ฆ๐ด๐ถ๐ด ๐ฅ๐ช๐ฅ, ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ช๐ค๐ฉ, ๐ช๐ง ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐บ ๐ด๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ญ๐ฅ ๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ณ๐ช๐ต๐ต๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ๐บ ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ, ๐ ๐ด๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ด๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ญ๐ฅ ๐ช๐ต๐ด๐ฆ๐ญ๐ง ๐ค๐ฐ๐ถ๐ญ๐ฅ ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ต๐ข๐ช๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฃ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฌ๐ด ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ด๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ญ๐ฅ ๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ณ๐ช๐ต๐ต๐ฆ๐ฏ."

So, if you're a Bitcoiner who also believes in Jesus, and don't go through any bank to access your money or a custodial bitcoin service to interact with the protocol, why would you go through a church or fallible (even if well-intentioned) human being to access God? Like Bitcoin, ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐๐ฟ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐น ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐บ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฎ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ถ๐ด๐ป ๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐๐ฎ๐น, but the Gospel of Jesus Christ is meant to make you a sovereign heir over ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ God's works (Romans 8:16-17). You don't need to go through anyone else to achieve that level of literally infinite sovereignty. You only need to follow Yeshua Hamashiach Himself, directly, with no intermediaries or trusted third parties. Just you and Him.
In a very real sense, this is The Way.

Trump says heโs โfine withโ โcrypto.โ
This should be obvious to everyone already, since he literally created *two* NFT collections on Ethereum.
What Trump is NOT is pro-#Bitcoin
But hey, at least heโs pro-printing-trillions-of-dollars & proud of Operation Warp Speed, right? https://v.nostr.build/2RK8X.mp4
