I believe that what you and the team pressed on during the El Salvador trip is unbelievably foundational to the future of the church and for the furthering of God's Kingdom.
I've been concerned with the statistics of Church Decline in the USA as well as the percentage of Christians who Tithe according to BARNA(1). This on top of your insight into an increased hurdle rate over the years is going to make it impossible for people to afford normal life much less invest in their local community/send missionaries out(2). I grow increasingly worried for large Christian Non-Profit organizations who are rapidly declining in consumer donations and are relying heavily on governmental grants.
I do not see a way to move the Kingdom of God forward WITHOUT the implementation of a Bitcoin Standard in our personal/organizational financial strategies. The Lord has provided us a tool to opt-out of the theft of our time and resources so that we can continue to be radically generous to those in need.
Austin Morrow recently shared his insights in an extensive analysis of the EXODUS story and overlaid how God responded to the Israelites during that time. I am still in the midst of reading it but from the first few pages it seems like his observations are setting up a strong argument for Bitcoin opting us out of the oppressive and unjust system of fiat.(3)
