RE: Can a Christian Defend the Blockchain?

in #christianity7 years ago

Stan, I too am a Christian and I think the block chain has many positive attributes. Bitcoin has honesty and transparency. This is not easy to accomplish. Corruption is everywhere in the world, and stopping it has been an epic plague across nations. I think that most of the nation states of Africa, would be much richer, if they stamped out corruption. The corruption stops economic progress. When countries are honest they move forward. This normally happens when a large percentage of the population becomes Christians, but it can happen without that in some cases. (like Japan). Stamping out corruption is really difficult, but shining light onto the problem is the first step. The Freedom of Information Act was another example of how openness worked to improve government. Bitcoin, and Blockchain support this openness and the honesty. I think they are good. In America, we have a "good" government. Not perfect -but far better than most- the beauty of blockchain is it works around the world. It is an export to the world. I believe blockchain can free capitalism from governments meddling fingers, this is far more important to those who are far more oppressed. I also think the inflationary Fiat Monetary policies have been oppressing widows and orphans. Bitcoin and blockchain finally offer up a solution to out of control government printing presses.

It is a never ending arms race between good and evil, but I read the back of the Book and... we win!
