It's value is in remittance if nothing else. It's cheaper than western union. But the network is only "cheaper" in that way because it has distributed the costs of running the network to the speculating miners who solve pointless puzzles with monsterously greedy processing farms hoping to win the lottery and get back more than they put in. It's a ponzi scheme, it takes more from everyone who came later and gives the value to early adopters who were there when you could solo mine coins with whatever hardware and a bitcoin was worth 7 dollars in exchange. Look up how many coins Satoshi is supposedly holding. If they were to cash out even a small fraction the whole market would crash. So use it as a remittance service but not an asset if you must. This from someone who mined 27k worth of it back when it was 7$ and spent it all on illicit medical cannabis before it inflated to 50k

But if we read Matthew we won't be able to focus on the parts we really like in the books prohibiting shrimp and mixed fabrics

also more context? because it's a oft mentioned topic: Matthew 23:27-28 New International Version

27 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. 28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.

I'm just tired of being forced to exist in this meat prison, everything after that is just frosting on the suffering cake

When was the last time you saw a house with wainscoting made of wood...

My aunt and uncle retired to a ranch in south Carolina as a tax dodge after a life of being realtors and IT specialists. Meth heads stole all their farm equipment and the daughter they moved next to is getting a divorce. If you have a yard, just start a garden or greenhouse and a tool shed and you won't have to worry about whatever unknown hell is waiting for you in Wyoming

You may find most things are like that, so many people, so many of the same experiences
