There is an understandable, but common misconception, that the Bible preaches against "money". It doesn't exactly, but it does preach against "trusting it" and thinking that it offers you security.
This is exemplified by the Rich Fool parable:
“There was a rich man whose land produced a bountiful harvest. He asked himself, ‘What shall I do, for I do not have space to store my harvest?’ And he said, ‘This is what I shall do: I shall tear down my barns and build larger ones. There I shall store all my grain and other goods and I shall say to myself, “Now as for you, you have so many good things stored up for many years, rest, eat, drink, be merry!”’
But God said to him, ‘You fool, this very night your life will be demanded of you; and the things you have prepared, to whom will they belong?’
This ultimately gets to the heart of the matter. The rich man has planned for decades in advance, but in truth he can't even control this very night. His harvest will be owned by others...Money offers you no real security.....You can have 10000 BTC and your wife + kid can get killed by a bus and no amount of money is going to change a single iota of the outcome.
This doesn't mean you shouldn't plan, nor try to be a good steward for your family, but your life and theirs is on loan and the terms are non-negotiable.
