Over the past couple years I've talked to a missionary about the future of Christian missions and while we weren't talking about bitcoin or funding we did talk about decentralization. US based world missions are very centralized and in recent years missionaries in hostile nations have had their operations hacked and undercover missions operations exposed. The traditional top down approach simply doesn't work. There are groups in the US taking a more flat approach to missions. Seems logical to me and I hope it will be effective.

As to bitcoin, many coverts in nations that are hostile to Christianity are ostracized from their families and communities. I imagine this would affect their finances as well. Bitcoin could be a life saver for people like this.
