About this episode
What does Scripture really say about money, justice, and value in a world moving toward Bitcoin and digital assets? In this episode of The Web3 Prof Podcast, Pastor Coin (Alin Armstrong), author of The Bible & Bitcoin, unpacks how biblical teaching on money, energy, and time connects with Bitcoin as a form of sound money. He explains how key features of Bitcoin such as scarcity, censorship resistance, and the time energy link resonate with Christian ethics, and where they may raise important questions.We explore how concepts like stewardship, generosity, and serving others can coexist with wealth accumulation in a Bitcoin world, and what biblical principles can help Christians discern when a monetary system is just or unjust. Pastor Coin also shares practical “entry points” for talking about Bitcoin with people who do not come from a faith background, and responds to critiques that mixing faith and crypto risks idolatry or confusion between spiritual truth and technology. Finally, he looks ahead at how churches and ministries might rethink donations, missions, and resource allocation in a sound money future.If you are curious about where faith and Bitcoin intersect, this conversation will challenge and deepen how you think about money and mission.
