I’d like to hear more about the connections between cryptocurrency, corruption, and the implications of monetizing images to curry favor and the monetized emphasis on image investment, both literal and figurative. This emphasis on images as currency seems to hearken back to win our idols were actually visible and not only connotative or figurative. A new kind of currency tied to technology also speaks to prophetic visions of the end times, although I don’t want it to lend itself to a gnarly focus discussion on dispensation list interpretations of the image of the beast, or even the mark of the beast. Yet, isn’t it worthwhile to mention them in proper context and how this could be a foreshadowing of a time, to come. There are also the implications rooted, specifically in the world as we know it, and as it is with a specific ways how cryptocurrency is being leveraged as both corrupt on the part of the Trump family, and it’s use of a stable coins and images related to his second inauguration. I don’t want the conversation to go down a rabbit hole. It doesn’t need to go down; however, I think it’s important to acknowledge how this isn’t just something to sweep under the rug, a novelty or lesser evil in the scope of everything else going on because it seems to be all connected to a love of money. just as the Bible tells us the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil, cryptocurrency seems to signal a very specific way in which the love of money is driving so many bad policies, poor decision-making, and other signs of degradation that is harmingpeople and in real and specific ways. Even the fact that what is being done would be unchecked if it wasn’t for the judicial system, and the voices of those with conviction they remain silent, even that is a sign that the love of money or a different kind of currency the praise of men and women in support of certain values is worth more to people than the praise of God. there’s probably not enough time to talk about all of that on the call tonight or maybe not even any of it. I still think it’s very much worth talking about at one point or another.
