Something I've really started to figure out lately, like really truly understand at a deep fundamental level, is that although Bitcoin doesn’t preach Christ directly, it restores a moral layer that creates spiritual friction for those living in lies and ultimately forces you to the table. So at first the logic is that people can’t live in contradiction forever. For many of us here, we were early to bitcoin because of our intellectual curiosity but more importantly we all felt that void inside of us and others and our society. We felt like something was off and still do. Over time, this evolves. Obviously that truth seeking leads us to truth-seeking around money, which leads to truth in money. That truth in money leads to truth in speech and that truth in speech leads to truth in conscience. This is the important part: Truth in conscience ultimately leads to God. Let me repeat that in another way, because once again this is the whole entire point: the logical end to this extreme mental, psychological and philosophical process and journey down the bitcoin rabbithole is the total and complete surrender to God.
The leap from truth in conscience to Christ is where I was stuck before, for a very long time, and it is where I am now observing a ton of other bitcoiners like me getting stuck. This is a major trap for the bitcoin literate and the 10000 hours of research. The power of fiat and the fiat system is so powerful and so pervasive that the devil himself will literally hold on to you for as long as he can when you get into that logical 2nd to last step. Taking the leap into the true last step was one of the most difficult things for me to do, but once I made it, it's now the dumbest most obvious thing I've ever understood. Getting to that last step- like truly getting it- took me way longer than I am willing to admit, but I'm not running from it anymore and neither should you. That is the last step and once you're there, that's when the real fun begins. That's where the discipline becomes important. That's where all this philosophical training and psychological and social conditioning from the bitcoin space comes in. It's within that last step that we need to stay if we are to actually win this thing, and getting to that last step and staying there is the whole entire point. "For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities… have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made." Romans 1:20... Rant over, that is all. DO THE WORK OR DIE!
