Alin Armstrong/Pastor Coin: The Christian Case for Bitcoin and Truth in Money
Coin Stories
From Wrestler to Pastor and the Search for Meaning
Alin recounts his background, leaving professional wrestling, pursuing spiritual questions, and becoming a pastor after investigating Jesus' resurrection.
Alin "PastorCoin" Armstrong joins me to explain why "You shall not steal" is God's monetary policy, and how Bitcoin aligns with sowing & reaping, truth, and loving your neighbor. We discuss:
- Is Bitcoin a religious cult?
- Divine fiat (Creation) and carnal fiat (money printing)
- Bitcoin's link to time & energy makes it truthful and hard to corrupt
- Why many discover faith after discovering objective truth in Bitcoin
- Practical ways to introduce Bitcoin to Christians and skeptics (books, study groups)
