Bitcoiners!
Easter is a holy day for Christians because it reminds us of our redemption from sin. Redemption is a word from monetary matters, where debt is repaid for regaining property.
Sadly, in a fiat world, this is very hard to understand because all the money is fake, credit and money have been mingled together and few people understand what property really entails.
But the significance of redemption is that our debts are repaid. And that's no small thing, especially if you labor under it. The burden of debt is much more serious under sound money, but ironically, it's much more pervasive and debasing under fiat money. That's what happens when you try to make debt go away without paying the price, without redemption. That's essentially what fiat money is.
Christianity has a model of redemption that can teach us about what real value and real property are.
