Yes, I will do my best. First though I will quote another verse from Matthew (6:24), I know @Jack K appreciates this one too - “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” In many senses, Life is binary, we can make one choice, or the other. I can seek to glorify God, for the salvation of mankind; or I can seek to glorify the world (myself, family, friends, institutions, physical assets, etc). I can’t do both at the same time though. Like @Jack K says, the transaction cannot be both spent and unspent simultaneously. So with regard to the Matt 23:24 verse quoted, I did so because your disposition in this conversation (and I will concede that you are the OP so I understand you could feel I am being unnecessarily inflammatory, though I pray and discuss here with pure intention for a good faith conversation) to me has felt prone to pedantry (your “should vs shouldn’t” reply, your “force” reply). I don’t disagree on the surface with either of those statements, but I know that you are missing Jack’s bigger point, and I witness you lost in the world of physical things and inherited belief structures (in this conversation). I understand what you are saying, and I agree that Bitcoin’s relative value compared to other assets (i.e. in a worldly, practical sense) is of course incredibly causative to any relative purchasing power appreciation - that’s a pretty obvious, low-hanging fruit, don’t you agree? What @Jack K is pointing to is a new way to measure the causative forces that are below what we can purely perceive in the physical world. Bitcoin is the first physical object which instantiates this higher order logic in clear mathematical form. So yes, it’s definitely esoteric and won’t resonate with most people. If it did resonate with most people right now, what he’s saying wouldn’t be revolutionary or revelatory. Only those who are ready to see it will, and from there will be drawn into greater mysteries which purify humanity’s current condition (i.e. selfishness, attachment to the world) and pave the way for Bitcoin to be a cornerstone of the New Earth our hearts know is possible (i.e. bitcoin catalyzing spiritual evolution). I love a lot of the stuff that you post, and you strike me as an incredibly “awake”, intelligent and loving individual. I believe one day you will understand what we mean here. “One of the fundamental lessons sales people learn is not to attack competitors or oposition, but rather to highlight the advantages of their offering.” Lashing out is a sign of immaturity, inferiority, or both.” We all walk this path together, even if routes diverge. In fact the divergence and apparent contradictions (and their subsequent reconciliation) is the gate into the deeper layers of spiritual experience. May God continue to bless, guide and protect you brother. May Peace be upon you now, and forever more. 🤍✝️👁️🕊️🌱🔮

I appreciate your positive intentions here, but it appears to me that by putting bitcoin at the center of one's ideological framework means participating in the very thing condemned by Matthew 6:24. Bitcoin is no more physical than microsoft windows. It's just a tool.
