Faith plays a significant role in both Christianity and Bitcoin, with the need for trust and belief in the absence of complete understanding. Bitcoin has the potential to create a new era and time chain, with its decentralized ledger providing a more accurate measure of time. Bitcoiners have a responsibility to help others understand and adopt Bitcoin, but the approach may vary for each individual. Running Bitcoin miners and nodes provides a deeper understanding of how Bitcoin works and enhances trust in the system. Bitcoin has the potential to reduce the size and influence of governments, leading to more accountability and value creation for taxpayers. Gold has limitations compared to Bitcoin, including its susceptibility to manipulation and lack of verifiability. The Bitday Cards project aims to educate and introduce people to Bitcoin through seed phrases, providing a tangible and interactive way to learn about Bitcoin. There seems to be a correlation between being a Bitcoiner and having kids, possibly due to shared values of abundance, security, and family. Bitcoin offers the gift of scarcity, which intersects with the principles of Christianity. Raising children in the Bitcoin world involves teaching them about scarcity, wastefulness, and mindfulness. Bitcoin fosters a community of love and care, with individuals supporting each other. Thinking generationally with Bitcoin is important, focusing on long-term goals rather than short-term trading.
