nobody cares about your bronze age redeemer cult

This is not some pseudoeconomic post-modern Libertarian cult, it's an un-led, crowd-sourced mega startup organized around mutual self-interest where problems, whether of the theoretical or purely practical variety, are treated as temporary and, ultimately, solvable. Censorship of e-gold was easy. Censorship of Bitcoin will be… entertaining.

Yes - I think that's the 7th commandment after the one about owning a Kindle.
God wasn't keen on iPhones either. Straight to hell if you own one.

I agree. In fact I have already seen a few of these religious scammers starting to accept it.

Greed is a sin
so is usury, and the entire fiat system is founded on that

I think that the bible give a different message in the new and old testament: probably Moses would had hold btc for the best of his people and their descendants, Jesus at contrary would had donated/spend all he owns to spread more btc into the world

One requirement of the Biblical Jubilee is a fair and impartial accounting and assessment of value. Bitcoin allows this in transparent manner.

The Bible says nothing about Bitcoin. It would be a hell of a lot more impressive if it did.

No so fast there, jojo. Matthew 25:31-46
“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, ...

LOL nothing in this thread will ever top this. I had a vision from above, hence the crosspost. One could say that Satoshi works in mysterious ways.

Greed is a sin
so is usury, and the entire fiat system is founded on that That is odd isn't it? Usury was for centuries a great evil; suddenly it was a-ok and the churches started lending money themselves.

i'm guessing christians would tell you that bitcoins are okay, so long as you return it to the rightful owner: god, via tithing to the church. otherwise you are a satan worshipper.
i wish i could start a business where i could guilt people into giving me their money.. while also being tax-free.

It says nothing about Bitcoins, but it slags off Litecoin pretty hard. Greed is a sin

I'm waiting for a priest to take BTC as payment for bailing a loved one out of purgatory. The Bitcoin ecosystem is rife with scammers, but it's hardly blazing any trails.

Greed is a sin
owning money/bitcoin does not equal greed. The intentions of owning bitcoin may be based on greed, but not necessarily so.

Now Now ... lets respect people's belief systems. You guys are going to hear a lot more of this in the coming months / years. There is no doubt Bitcoin is the first evidence of a one world currency. And that is mentioned in the Bible, specifically. Before that, they feared it would be the Euro ... If Bitcoin succeeds, it very well may be the medium of exchange associated with the "mark of the beast" one day. And that's only awesome news. Because then Jesus comes back in the sky, and the rapture happens, and then there's a big cage fight with the devil, with beheading of Christians (this part not awesome), and fiery pits, and all that good stuff. Translation: Life won't be boring anymore.
