Alin Armstrong/Pastor Coin: The Christian Case for Bitcoin and Truth in Money
Coin Stories
Hard Money's Potential to Incentivize Building and Flourishing
Natalie and Alin imagine broader innovation and social benefits under hard money, and discuss Bitcoin's timely arrival amid economic decay.
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)
