#03: In the Beginning - Bitcoin as Money

Bitcoin and the Bible

Simon, Will, and David begin building the moral case for Bitcoin by looking first at Bitcoin as money.

James 2:8–9 "If, however, you are fulfilling the royal law according to the Scripture, “YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF,” you are doing well. But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors."

The usage of the story of “Bitcoin Island” provides a simple way to understand the beauty and utility of the Bitcoin ledger.

Here's a wonderful video that helps visualize Bitcoin and how blocks are formed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBC-nXj3Ng4
