Seeker of truth. Lover of freedom. Rebel. Misfit. Aspiring Christian. Bitcoiner. Father. Electrician. Creator. Been through some sh!t. Made in God's image.
Tried to update some of my google business page. I get a message "need further verification" "please upload a video of you opening doors to the business, operating cash registers, etc." So creepy. I just want my services to show up on the map.
"And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them." Eph 5:11 Most of you on here seem to value and pursue this biblical command, and that's one of the many things I love about you. Let's continue to opt out; exposing the corrupt and deceitful system we so deeply loath.
I've always worked with my hands. I had periods (during my 25 years of chronic pain) where I dreaded it. In my older years, I have learned to love, and feel blessed to work with my hands (even through the suffering). If we can drop the world view that wealth is the chief aim in life, we can find great joy in whatever work is being asked of us. "That you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you," 1 Thes 4:11 #ToChristAlone
I started buying gold in 2000 to escape the fiat enslavement system. People told me it was a terrible idea. I didn't care. I knew the fiat system was built on lies and was a mechanism of theft. I bought metals on principle alone. When bitcoin came around I started buying it because it was a mechanism of truth and protection against theft. I have always valued truth above all else. When I finally got around to reading the Bible, and considering it as truth, I was surprised to discover it resonated as truth. I believe that our eyes being opened to the truth of scripture is the final destination in our quest for truth. Many bitcoiners are just steps away from that next revelation in their quest for truth and freedom. Never stop seeking. #ToChristAlone
When I met my now wife, I explained bitcoin to her. She was the first girl I had dated who wasn't in debt. She had a decent amount of savings. She instantly started buying bitcoin and selling her stuff to buy more. We were married and had the most beautiful celebration ever. We are both very resourceful, we managed to do it for under $5k. We continued buying bitcoin with the cash we saved. We now live an extremely comfortable life only a few years later. If you want to generate wealth from the ground up, Think outside the box, Be resourceful, buy what you need (not what you want), save in hard money, be cautious with debt, try not to deal with the banks, choose a good spouse who's on the same page, work hard, and above all, look to the Lord for your provisions and be grateful for all you have (even when it's very little) . #ToChristAlone
About 7 years ago, I had an ayahuasca experience where I was told I would die in a year's time. It felt like truth, and I was devastated. My life started falling apart. All my hopes and dreams were crushed. I was crushed. I had nowhere to turn. I had been in chronic pain for twenty years, and one tragic event after another kept knocking me down. I'm an extremely stubborn and resilient guy. But I hit my breaking point. I just about shot myself. It was a terrifying experience. Then I suddenly had this urge to try something radically different. I had never tried praying to Christ. I through it all on the table. I prayed for hours at a time, every day. I took away all distractions and just sat in prayer, day in and day out. I faced some hard truths I had been running from for a long time. Truths that had been too heavy to face. But I couldn't run anymore. I just sat with it. It was so painful. I was broken. My life was broken. I was alone with no hope. GOD HEARD MY PRAYERS. I was a non believer before that. But I know, without a doubt, He heard me and He answered my prayers. He reached into my life and began to radically transform me. He opened my eyes to a level of truth that I wasn't aware existed. I had always been a seeker of truth, but I was blind to the truth of God, and Jesus Christ. Five short years later, my life is so full of joy and blessings. I've received more than I could have ever imagined. I have found true freedom. Words will only fall short in attempting to describe to you what God has done for me and through me. I can attest, that the claims of scripture, that the kingdom of God is worth more than all the silver and gold (and Bitcoin) , is in fact true. If you don't yet know Christ and the Father of all creation, I implore you to seek Him with all of your heart. All else will only fall short. You will never find true lasting contentment outside of Christ Jesus. I did die a year after that terrifying day. It just wasn't what I expected. I died and was raised up again in Christ Jesus, through baptism . A new man. A new creation. A new life. To God be the glory. I pray that all who don't know Him, and the power and depth of His love, would experience the true freedom that comes to you when you accept Christ as your Lord and Savior. If He was willing and able to redeem a life such as mine, I assure you that He will do the same for anyone of you. Humble yourself and pray that He would come into your life. #ToChristAlone
