Christianity and Bitcoin: Why ‘You Shall Not Steal’ Demands Hard Money Not Fiat

Alin “PastorCoin” Armstrong joins Natalie Brunell 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, hard to corrupt
- Faith and objective truth
