Why I Believe in Bitcoin
🧠 Why This Matters to Me
As a Christian, I value truth, integrity, and caring for others. Over time, I realized the way our money works often undermines those values—rewarding debt, punishing savers, and quietly transferring wealth.
Bitcoin opened my eyes. It's transparent, incorruptible, and rooted in honesty. It aligns with values of stewardship, fairness, and long-term thinking.
I'm still learning, but I believe this matters—not just financially, but spiritually and socially. If you're curious, here's where to start.
