Bitcoin – Mark of the beast, one world currency.
It would make sense that a cryptocurrency would be used to usher in a one world currency and the antichrist.
Logistically, you could never have the same paper fiat all over the world acting as a one world currency. It would have to be a digital currency.
However, the fact that Bitcoin, the block chain, is decentralized, makes one wonder if it could be controlled by the antichrist. The antichrist would have to take over the internet.
The fact that it is on the network, your account can easily be disabled, preventing you from buying and selling, unless you take the mark of the beast.
So, whether or not Bitcoin, or some other cryptocurrency ends up being the one world currency remains to be seen, however it is a very high probability that it will be a digital currency, and not paper, or gold or silver.
Way back in the Garden of Eden in Genesis Chapter 2 gold is first mentioned:
Genesis 2:11-12
11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
Based on the principal of first use, God says the gold of that land is good.
He doesn’t say exactly what was good about it, but God assigns the attribute of good to gold.
Clearly if God said the gold was good, then Satan would hate and despise gold.
So, in these last days as the antichrist comes to power he will not allow gold, which is true money, the best form of money, to be used as the one world currency. He will create a currency that could never be as valued as gold.
Throughout all human history nothing has been able to take the place of gold and silver for money. All fiat eventually loses its value.
Right now, Bitcoin seems to be managing to usurp gold and silvers role, but I wonder what would happen when and if a newer, better cryptocurrency appears, the Bitcoins will lose all their value.
The block chain technology does have something of value to offer, but Bitcoins in and of themselves have nothing. You are taking a big gamble thinking that Bitcoin will always be the leader of the pack.
It reminds me of the dot com days. Companies sprang up over night with no real business model.
People invested in all these companies based on some future expectation that they would be rewarded. The vast majority of these companies had no earnings, and didn’t have a way to create earnings. People were very gullible. Most of these companies went belly up. Only a very few survived. It is the same now with cryptocurrencies. Dozens of new cryptocurrencies are springing up every day, but only a very few will survive. You need to make sure you pick the Amazon of the cryptocurrencies and not the pets.com
