'God Bless Bitcoin' doc makes moral case for cryptocurrency as alternative to 'corrupt' financial system

[Michie]

The intersection of faith and bitcoin — and the government's misuse of money — is at the center of "God Bless Bitcoin," a documentary by Christian couple Brian and Kelly Estes hoping viewers will rethink their relationship with money and enable them to become better stewards of their God-given resources.

The documentary, releasing July 25, seeks to answer the question, "How do we fix our broken money?" by examining the moral and ethical dimensions of current financial systems and the broader implications of Bitcoin's rise.

Narrated by Natalie Brunell, the project highlights voices from both the financial and religious spheres, including Bitcoin experts like Anthony Pompliano, Cathie D. Wood and Michael Saylor, as well as religious leaders such as Dr. Darrell Bock of Dallas Theological Seminary and Fr. Robert Sirico.

"For 3,500 years, humans used gold and silver as money. In 1971, we shifted to fiat, and it's clear that this system doesn't work for everyone," Brian Estes, CEO & CIO of Off the Chain Capital and longtime Bitcoin enthusiast, told The Christian Post. "It steals from the poor and the middle class, and it gives it to the rich. It's an unjust system, but we could opt out of that system."

For the Esteses, parents of two who both co-wrote and co-directed the film, the journey to creating the documentary began with a pressing concern about the state of the monetary system and a belief in the potential of Bitcoin to serve as a more ethical alternative.

"Over the past decade, we've watched our money lose its value, making it increasingly difficult for people to keep up with the rising cost of living," Kelly Estes told CP.

I don't think I've ever read a piece with such a high concentration of nonsense - and I've read transcripts of Trump speeches. It's apparently more moral to have your money supply built off of industrial-scale space heaters than it is to have it run by a central bank. If the dollar had been as volatile as BTC, our economy would be in shambles.

I hope nobody reads that piece and comes away thinking those people are anything more than hucksters pitching a movie.

I'd like to see the sophisticated wriggling which attempts to get beyond the fact that the Internet itself was created by the United States Department of Defense.

All that will happen if folks attempt to switch over is that the U.S. Government will simply [eventually] plunge its hand further into the already known legal parameters governing the Internet and tax what it deems is "theirs."

No thanks. Supporters of Bitcoin tend to be those who are already invested in it or want to get rich quick. Their profits depend on you buying into it. Crypto is volatile and has no intrinsic value. Unlike stocks and other investments, its value isn't linked to a product. Not to mention the fact that Bitcoin mining is bad for the environment.
