Pretty sure Jesus would beat the shit out of all who's involved in this with a very pliable switch (hint: not the console).

God is all about the bitcoin.

He told Gizmodo he was surprised when he first got into Bitcoin in 2020 to find what he described as “a rich, vibrant community of Christian Bitcoiners,” and said the success of his self-published book, which he says has sold more than 10,000 copies over the past three years, only reinforced his sense that the overlap was real.

This should come as no surprise. People who are willing and able to have faith in things without any quantifiable evidence are going to be easy to draw into scams.

Exactly as Jesus preached.

This is exactly the kind of thing Jesus Christ would adore.

Something Supply Side Jesus would endorse for sure.

That’s what you get when the Silicon Valley “Californian Ideology” is replaced by the Texan Ideology inherited from oilmen and slaveholders.

Anti Jesus world views is peak USian conservative, but they crossed a line in the 70’s and should just stop their double moraled shit now.

We can make a religion out of this.

Oh wait, they just did.

I read World of Goo at first and got sad that the old 2008 phone game had fallen so far

Jesus Cash!

the currency’s fixed, verifiable rules confront users with what he sees as objective truth in a world of “fake money, fake food, fake news, fake everything.” In his view, Bitcoin is not merely adjacent to Christian culture but fundamentally based on its values.

Conservatives just can’t comprehend a world in colour. Or even greyscale.

Someone's definitely going to make a device or app to allow collection of buffoon from this.
