There are lots of lessons and interesting examples in the Old Testament. One that I have considered recently is that of Babylon. Babylon, was a kingdom ruled by a bad king, yet it was still used by God to punish the people of Israel. At the time Israel said, they are worse than we are so when the Babylonian king came to attack Israel's holy city of Jerusalem they did not believe that the city could fall. They had the temple, God's dwelling place, and they were after all better than the people of Babylon. Well this did not work out as the Isrealites had intended. Instead, of being successful, Israel fell and was carried off into Babylonian captivity. It was only there that idolatry was finally and permanently driven off from the people of Israel. It had been hundreds of years of struggle, and nothing prior to that had worked permanently. Now there are lots of aspect to this story we could discuss, consider and think about. And these are the reasons that the Old Testament was given to us. Maybe Cryptocurrency is the Babylon and the Federal Reserve System is Israel. Our Banking system has more or less served us pretty well, one can argue if this is because if it or in spite of it, and crypto, came about as a reaction the excess of the Subprime Financial Crisis. I am deeply troubled by both. Crytpo is full of Scams, Frauds and Bad people. So is the traditional Banking System. Which is worse, well God, does not always reward people based on how bad the other Guy is. Crypto has demonstrated the ability to be a viable alternative.
