#bitcoin may free us from external tyrannies, but the greater danger lies in our internal tyrannies. (We can be free in prison.) For that, something much stronger is needed.
Our arguments must not only be good and true, but also beautiful. Rightness without persuasiveness is fruitless.
Pour one out for the #zapathon
Those were the good ol' days

I don't think people realize just how deeply modern politics is influenced, historically, by various views of the Millennium. Hegel, Marx, the Progressives, the AIPAC / CUFI crew...

Because "sometimes History--er, Armageddon--needs a push."
Sadly, it has become a litmus test of true Christianity in their circles. As if by design, one might say.
"And this is your brain on premillennial dispensationalism."
We are all temporary custodians of the wealth of future generations.
People going to get wrecked by this stuff. It's truly criminal.

Of course, what *is* offered is way better than any of that.
>In his presence is the fullness of joy; at his right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Are your desires strong enough for that?
>If we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. *We are far too easily pleased.*
C. S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory
