100 sats \ 1 reply \ @gd 6 Apr freebie \ on: Your Bitcoin Journey Leads You To Jesus bitcoin
I've seen this quite a lot over the years and have established a couple of points of view on what I believe is going on based on my own personal experience.
The idea that Bitcoin leads to faith or Christianity is not based on total nonsense, but a classic case of "correlation does not imply causation".
When fully understanding Bitcoin, it makes visible a clear distinction of Virtue vs Vice in an important part of our society. Not only does it clearly present that distinction to us, but makes clear the value of Virtue over Vice.
Once you see this clear distinction, it's impossible to ignore. When one starts thinking about where else they experience a Virtue vs Vice struggle in life, you'll find it everywhere.
The Virtues— Wisdom, Courage, Justice, Temperance have been written about and taught over thousands of years (Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, Ancient China) as the proper way to live ones life at one with the Universe (read: nature, logos, God).
Christianity (Apostle Paul) adopted these virtues as the "Cardinal Virtues" at the base of their religion from Hellenistic Philosophy (Plato: The Republic).
Therefore— my point of view is not that Bitcoin leads to Christianity, but leads to an important lessons that despite being taught for many thousands of years before Christianity, we (at large) still refuse to learn.
It just so happens that Christianity is the most prevalent set of teachings based on this lesson in the western world and many decide to not dive deeper in to why it resonates with them.
Bitcoin is backed by plenty of TWhs of input energy.
Shitcoins are not backed by anything, but human greed.
Bitcoin is Heaven, shitcoins are Hell.

P.S. “However, Enea scientists warn, "it should be noted that the total power of VUV radiations required to instantly color the surface of linen that corresponds to a human of average height, body surface area equal to = 2000 MW/cm2 17000 cm2 = 34 thousand billion watts makes it impractical today to reproduce the entire Shroud image using a single laser excimer, since this power cannot be produced by any VUV light source built to date (the most powerful available on the market come to several billion watts )”.
