I'd disagree slightly with the viewpoint that the ultimate sacrifice isn't a requirement. I'm not arguing that one would need to have a death of their physical being to become a messiah, but my opinion is that most religious texts speak in parables to make "experiences" more digestible without those direct experiences being had. The death of Christ in the Bible is an example. The story shows the death of his physical being, but the message is bigger. It's the death of his attachment to his physical being that the story represents. After his acceptance of the inevitable nature of life that he may truly begin his life unified with the divine. Therefore, I would agree with what you said in "Of course, confronting death, or other choices of extreme consequence can often require you to 'reveal' what the principles which animate you truly are". This was long-winded, but yes, I agree Bitcoin is going to act as a powerful tool that people will use to become closer to the holy spirit if you will. My final question, because I have to go take a call, is this; when are we going to jump on a Pod together again ser?
