Well, hard money does, at any rate, and Bitcoin jettisons all the grossness and potential exploitation of digging deep in the dirt. It's like clean, hard money. Reingeld. There is some religious emotion triggered by elegant math and sound, universal measures. I feel it, myself. Seems profound, somehow. Which makes sense, if you think of God as a Builder or even a Carpenter. "What money would Jesus use?", is the question, for me.

I think the reason is that Bitcoin is transcending physics and math, is obviously bigger than oneself, and in a similar "realness" space as some of the entities religion talks about, while at the same time being "easy" to understand for the rational/scientific mind. It is a doorway to the transcendental.
We have an answer to that! "Show me a coin" Jesus was ok using the government currency for worldy affairs. He just didn't seem to think worldy affairs were the important thing. I am pretty sure Jesus would only care about Bitcoin insofar as we could use it in service to the kingdom of God. Can you use it to "go sell all you have and give the money to the poor"? Or what would he think of stacking sats? "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." "๐ŸŽต I left my heart in 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa ๐ŸŽถ"
In this case, The Denarius was owned by Ceaser, it was effectively Ceaser's property lent out to the people as a medium of exchange. Such as The Federal Reserve Notes belong to The Federal Reserve whereas Old U.S. Notes belonged to The United States hence effectively The People. Possession of property is endowed with a seal, or mark as proof. While in material affairs it may not be deemed so but in the affairs of Laws, and The Spiritual it is such.
