I started a new substack called Bitcoin Papist.
This my humble contribution on money as it relates to the Catholic faith and tradition in the digital age. I'm not a theologian, cryptographer, technomonastic, or academic of any sort, just a layman sharing my studies.
The first piece I'm sharing is a response to Matt Fradd's commentary on the Russell Brand demonetization, where Jacob Imam erred on the only Pints with Aquinas bitcoin episode, and the conversation on the spiritual legacy of fiat inflation I'd love to hear.

This is, I think, the inherent contradiction in their attitudes that you need to hammer 🔨 .
They're happy to use modern tech for their marketplace, but their currency is antiquated and controlled by people who hate them.
Right, I tried to keep the tone from being polemical or takey. "Get back to the earth, get local, technology sucks," is always a rich take from those who make a living on these platforms. At least grapple with the contradiction.
