Yeah, coin joining can really enhance privacy. Not sure what the crypto regulations are going to be in a year, but I bet someone will squawk about illicit activity and pull another samurai wallet case. I also like the idea of lightning batching the transactions, as well, vs just on chain. I’ve told him to just stack for now and watch the layer 2 privacy solutions emerge.
Intel slush fund, still doing its job. BTC can move like that, but we lose privacy. I was talking to my Dad (that I am orange-pilling) and talked about this issue. Can’t move money to people that need it in closed countries without a note from your mom, but BTC fixes that. We lose privacy as a trade off for permissionless and transparent. He’s intrigued, but the privacy thing is still a hurdle.
Caramelize those onions! Sweet flavor that enhances almost any meat. Little roasted garlic never hurt anyone, as well. Enjoy!
Smooth. Point made brilliantly.

Very true. Amazing Grace is a great film about Wilberforce and Newton.
Seriously. A great episode, but creepy.
To be fair, the rise of higher criticism from Europe infected the great seminaries like Princeton in the late 1800s, and along comes a system that promised to return to a time of taking the Bible seriously by focusing on a very literal hermeneutic. Men like DL Moody were fighting a battle, and they were desperate for allies. Not excusing them, but it was clear some powerful forces took advantage of that. (Read Machen’s Christianity and Liberalism for a better way to fight that battle).
To this day, a critique of dispensationalism is received as an attack on the veracity of Scripture. And I have friends who are convinced that if you have a consistently literal interpreation of the Bible, you naturally arrive at dispensationalism. That is a tough conversation to have, even if you trust each other.
I think if they would consistently let the New Testament interpret the Old, you naturally reject the dispensational system.
Why do you assume Jesus Christ cannot be verified as God? Because you haven't done the work.
In The Case For Christ, a former atheist investigates Jesus's divinity through interviews with experts, examining scientific, philosophical, and historical evidence.
There are dozens of books like this, but you have to put in the hours to question your NPC assumptions.

Great book. Evidential style of apologetics, like Josh McDowell. We should also consider the Presuppositional apologetic, as it takes into account that fallen men purposefully suppress the truth in their unrighteousness. No amount of evidence will convince those that refuse to believe, requires an act of the Spirit. Still, for those that do believe, books like this can be a great help in articulating your belief.

Well said. And well written.
Gal 3 supports those points, as well. It is those who are of the faith of Abraham who are the children of Abraham (v. 7). But the real kicker is that the promises were made to Abraham and his seed, meaning one, who is Christ (v. 16). It is Christ who inherits the promises, and anyone in Him are then Abraham’s offspring. Heirs with Christ according to promise (v. 29). By faith only and not by lineage or blood. Therefore, it is inappropriate for Christians to use Gen 12 (bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you) as justification for supporting the modern state that calls itself Israel. Anyone in Christ by faith, whether Jew or Gentile, is heir to the promises of Abraham. And, more to the point , if Christ as the heir is all that Israel is supposed to be, then you are blessed if you bless Christ, and cursed if you curse Christ.
My Gamma worked perfectly right out of the box. I’m new to mining, and it was an easy first step.
That is a great stick. Enjoy!
