USA Today splashed the following headline today across Page 5 of the Friday News Section.
So which is going to require the Mark of the Beast in order to buy or sell? Is Bitcoin the threat, or the solution? Or is it BitShares? ... or one of thousands of other cryptocurrencies? ... or is it a global government sponsored version of one or more of them?
I had to know.
Flashback
I was minding my own business in a hotel in Austin, Texas, this morning getting ready for the Conscious Media festival here this weekend, when my Chief Business Developer Savant, Eddy Taylor, called me real excited like... "Hey Stan, Stan! There's a full page article on Bitcoin and the Mark of the Beast on page 5A of the news section of USA Today!" Naturally he saw Business Development connections. I, on the other hand, saw a cool Steemit article... and a potential lecture for this Sunday morning's adult class.
So I rushed out of the hotel (which, grumble, didn't have any complementary USA Today copies left), found a Seven-Eleven, and paid an excruciating $2.00 for something I'm used to getting free for training puppies.
But, oh well, I got one and now you can see what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to be clear until the cage door slams shut, so it's best to start learning how to recognize and escape cages, before it's too late. Stay tuned for my next post which will critique this USA Today article point by point on both its technical and theological accuracy.
To avoid coinfusion: I'll just give you one tidbit of analysis:
Bitcoin started out as a single coin, now it's a whole forking category of coins, soon it will be a generic term for crypto currencies like Kleenex is what we call any brand of tissues. In that sense, BitShares is just the most used platform for decentralized trading of hundreds of cool "bitcoins". A hundred years from now there will be thousands of bitcoins and none will use a single line of code Satoshi wrote. This year, BitShares 3.0 will make all BitShares tokens mobile across the entire EOS multi-chain landscape.
Similarly, Yahushua is a Hebrew name, but I speak English. His name in English is Jesus, so that's what I will call Him. Yahushua is a Hebrew name. In fact Moses' successor Yahushua the son of Nun has a whole book of the Bible named after him. In English Bibles, his name is changed to “Joshua.” All of them mean "Salvation is With Us".
Happy pondering!
