The Bitcoin Matrix
Friar Hass on the Passion of the True Believers, Tithing Bitcoin, Dollar Cost Averaging & Stacking Sats for Salvation
- Bitcoin as a non-theistic religion centered on censorship resistance, property rights, and low time preference; Satoshi as the first believer and Hal Finney as the first apostle.
- The religious hierarchy of Bitcoin: fundamentalists (living off-chain principles fully), true believers (devoted to Bitcoin's philosophy), preachers (storytellers and educators), sufferers (those who bought poorly and learned discipline), and hodlers (passive holders).
- Tithing to Bitcoin through daily stacking and dollar-cost averaging as spiritual practice and charity, distinct from traditional religious tithes because buying Bitcoin stabilizes the currency for the unbanked.
- Submission to Bitcoin's natural laws and incentive structure as essential to finding peace; Bitcoin's fairness lies in its indiscriminacy—hard money treats everyone equally regardless of circumstance.
- Economic judgment day occurring March 20, 2020, when the Federal Reserve cut rates to zero, marking the beginning of hyper-Bitcoinization and the death of fiat (though the body still bleeds).
- Bitcoin's superiority over fiat not as speculation but as engineering principle; Lightning Network as the civil engineering tool of 2021 enabling micropayment infrastructure integration.
