Guest Post by Antonius Aquinas
As modern man continues to wantonly deviate, flaunt, and reject the natural law and the Divinely-created order from which it derives, it is not surprising that illusions like Bitcoin and other crypto currencies have captured the imagination of many and have provided a vehicle for scammers to rip off their fellow man.
Crypto currencies are a more complex, yet still devious derivative of the immoral, economic destructive, and social debilitating system of central banking. In response, Bitcoin pumpers have craftily tried to portray digital currencies as a “decentralized” alternative to the present fiat, paper-money standard.
While this has attracted many libertines and “fast buck” speculators, Bitcoin is more similar to the present fractional-reserve monetary order than a real honest-to-goodness money and banking system based on 100% redeemable currency. Moreover, crypto currencies’ initial allure was that they could be used as a general medium of exchange, but as time has gone on, their sycophants have had to concede that none of these Ponzi schemes can act as money.
Unlike a metallic monetary order where gold and silver have to be mined and brought into use through land, labor and capital, Bitcoin, like paper money, is created out of thin air. In this sense, however, paper money is superior to Bitcoin because it can be used for other purposes albeit severely limited – wall paper. Bitcoin, instead, has NO intrinsic, or “use” value, as precious metals did prior to their use as general medium of exchanges.
Crypto currencies also fit nicely in the on-going efforts by the Establishment and monetary authorities to eliminate cash in transactions. Despite the talk of “decentralization” and privacy that crypto currencies’ supposedly provide, all transactions on the computer and across the Internet can be recorded and traced which governments will use to spy on their tax slaves. In direct contrast, gold and silver carried on one’s person or stored for safe keeping is the most private and secure means of wealth preservation ever known.
The banksters have been pushing a cashless world to reduce their operating costs as Bank of America’s CEO Brian Moynihan recently called for:
We want a cashless society. We have more to gain than anybody from a pure operating cost (perspective).*
If anyone believes that the only reason banksters like Moynihan want a cashless society is to reduce costs, they are incredibly näive. Banks and other credit institutions have, from orders of the surveillance arms of the national security states across the globe, de-platformed and tried to silence all sorts of alternative and politically incorrect websites and groups by shutting down their bank and credit card accounts. If cash is outlawed, it will have a devastating effect on dissonant outlets and true free speech in general.
The efforts to get rid of cash has been a long held goal by the ruling class that began with the introduction of paper notes which were granted legal tender status. Irredeemable notes for specie followed and outright confiscation and prohibition of gold ownership took place in America and other jurisdictions in the 20th century. Internationally, gold was finally severed from monetary use with President Nixon’s insane decision to no longer redeem US dollars for gold in 1971.
More importantly, and what infuriates Left-Libertarians of the crypto movement is that the precious metals were created by Divine Providence to be used by His creatures to augment their lives and eventually create sophisticated societies. The qualities and quantity of gold and silver were designed in their optimal amounts to serve as a medium of exchange. There are ample historical episodes of the social and economic disasters which have occurred when “natural money” was replaced by a man-made substitute. The powers-that-be are certainly aware of this historical “law” and have long understood that to maintain their hegemony gold and silver must not be a part of a monetary order.
The contemporary world is in a state of perpetual crisis because it has persistently violated the natural law. The creation of more illusions such as Bitcoin and other crypto currencies is not a solution, but are diversions which prevent mankind from returning to a natural monetary order.

Great Article. crypto’s usher in the end days and the mark of the beast. It is beyond obvious to any Christian. Earth is the realm of Satan, so crypto’s will win. Once they finish eliminating cash and all other forms of exchange, much like the beginnings of Youtube purges now. They will simply “shut you off”. No buying, or selling without the mark of Zuckerface… God help us all… In the end the Lord wins, so stay strong in your faith and remember, you are not alone.
Great Article? That’s funny shit, really.
All wealth is derived from labor and land. Everything else is a skim/scam.
I love it when Buttcoins get hacked, are not retrievable for some strange reason, or just plain disappear into, literally, thin air.
A system everyone can trust. Now who is it issues these things again?
(When The Evil Fuckers make it – electronic money – compulsory to use it by eliminating cash then the A.I. enforced slavery of the NWO can commence without delay.)
The only money on the planet is gold/silver. Hold it in your hands. But cryptos are good for speculation.
So are three walnut shells and a dried pea.
I love the argument that bitcoin is limited to 21 million coins. Kinda remember that scam with the Central Banks saying dollars would be limited by the amount of gold we have. If they can spend the money to print physical dollars, they sure as hell can add a few zeros to a computer algorithm. It is sad to see how many liberty minded people have been fooled by bitcoin. “For this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie”
Funny how gold and silver ALWAYS get replaced by something less scarce like paper, copper, zinc, and digits. Hoomans do this and can’t resist doing this. Antonius seems to think “we” can meet up in a big tent and agree to abide by natural law. Oh,well, a bunch of people did get together in the late 1700s to lay out what is legal “money.” As wise as any group in history they were and yet even they did not define “money,” but left it to Congress to do what it would. And it did and it created a central bank and income taxes to be paid in their “money.” Nice work on their part and as predictable as Antonius and so very many others over the centuries to stand tall on their mountains in the wind and rain shouting to the world how natural law is the way forward. A thousand years, no thousands of years of experience showing the inevitable debasement of a society’s “money” only yields the same old cry for hoomans to be reasonable.
Antonius says that Bitcoin is created out of thin air. Not quite or else everyone and his pet monkey would be doing it and selling them right now for ten grand a pop. The reality is that only 21 million Bitcoins will ever exist and each one comes into existence at some considerable cost. Governments and wise men have nothing to do with creating them. The market then determines the value of the coins. The greater the faith and usefulness of the coins, potentially and actually, the greater the value.
What’s the problem?
There is no problem, anyone can make a crypto, how is that demonic, nobody is forcing you to use them at fuckin gunpoint….like Federal Reserve Notes.
I can appreciate gold and silver, but in some sense they are a barbarous relic.
To those espousing The Mark of the Beast as related to crypto, let me ask you this:
Do you have a Social Security Number? FIEN? EIN?
How about banking, you got account numbers?
Sounds like Satan has already marked you up.
This anit Eden, we are far from fuckin there.
I am still buying BTC, LTC, ETH, and a few shitcoins. Not as attractive as Admins last crypto article posting, but I see at least 3x on all coins listed, probably much more.
Facebooks Libra is not crypto, its a blatant sham power grab, no decentralization, no limit on supply, no governance, no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
Just one egotistical maniacs blatant power grab, one man will decide everything, how many, how often, where they are, where they have been, who has them, pathetic.
But, it will introduce the concept to millions, perhaps billions.
Perhaps it is time to investigate, and become educated, so this opportunity for monetary freedom is not lost to the satanic powers of tyranny alluded to in this article.
Fuck the Bankers.
Best wishes.
Wide is the gate to hell. Narrow is the gate to heaven. We have a book, call the Bible, that tells of this. Just because you choose not to acknowledge reality, does not mean it does not exist. Loss of a man’s ability to control his labor in the form of currency, is loss of freedom. Bitcoin and the like are the ultimate expression of Lucifer to gain control of his world. For what does it matter if a man gains the whole world and loses his immortal soul……
“Sounds like Satan has already marked you up.”
Not even close. His party is just getting started.
Bring it Cheese!
The hand is the click/signature, the head is the agreement in thought, the mark is voluntary act of making it so. Cashless is definitely (and obviously) satan’s noose for thee who takes the mark by hand and/or head.
“yet even they did not define “money,”” You are WRONG. Article 1 section 10 defines it as “gold and silver coin”. Congress is only to regulate the value thereof. Debasing currency has always been a capital crime. Every bureaucrat is in violation of article 1 section 10 – the state bureaucrats for making some “Thing” other than “gold and silver coin a tender in the payment of debts”, the debt of their time for constitutional capacity , and the fed bureaucrats for not upholding the law. When one is in breach of their obliged capacity they cannot speak from within that capacity meaning ALL ‘judges’ who opined the legal tender cases were already in breach when they made the rulings =null and void, criminal fraud, breach of duty, total bullshit meaningless words by criminal men – one of whom’s face was on the very paper specie fraud he was ruling on-Sam Chase.
The author is exactly right, crypto currency is the criminals’ beast system and the Godless (lawless) are cheering for their future chains to be wrapped around their neck – may those chains rest lightly suckers.
Nobody, you ought to look into your statement a bit more. The Article about gold and silver is that the States can only use gold and silver if they even do create “money.” As for the Federals, the Article gives Congress the power to do what it wants.
As for the “chains” around our necks, what the hell do you think we have now with the “notes?” Furthermore, what we have now is criminals spending thousands of dollars (notes) on rubber bands monthly to corral their hundred dollar bills (notes). Money laundering is rampant now. Cryptos would at least give some ability to keep one’s money assets away from government seizure. The poorest of people living in the worst shit holes are subject to hyperinflation right now. They are responding by holding cryptos. There’s your clue as to what you should be doing to save yourself in the coming years.
https://fauxcapitalist.com/2011/04/30/the-u-s-constitution-doesnt-say-money-should-be-gold-or-silver-coin/
It says “no state shall make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in the payments of debts” State statutes that make something other than gold and silver coin a tender in payments of debts ARE IN BREACH. The feds ARE IN BREACH for not upholding the law the states are bound by. All other positions require mental gymnastics and logical fallacies to justify an on-going breach that is THE SOURCE of their criminal empire.
Your argument is wrong because Constitution also prohibits states from coining money so that was already answered and states’ cannot coin money or make bills of credit. It was not an “if” statement it was nothing but(“anything but”) and feds are required to coin that tender and define its weight and measure which they did and changed several times. Your position is logical fallacy and lawful impossibility. I have read EVERYTHING on the topic – ALL case law, ALL historical actions, ALL ratifiers comments and reasoning. The whiskey rebellion proves the feds requirement, the legal tender proves that they had to use FOREIGN PRECEDENT to justify their breach that they were ALREADY engaged in. The coinage act of 1792 proves that regulate the value = sets weights and measure and the seriousness of debasement of currency.
You are dead wrong. They are ALL in breach AND it is a death penalty offense.
CORRECTION: Legal tender CASES proves FOREIGN PRECEDENT to justify. The US supreme court legal tender cases of 1870’s. Go read all of them both for and against.
If NSAcoin were demonic, it would be a whole lot more interesting topic.
We could talk about people possessed to hand over their money, privacy, and human dignity all at the same time.
The Biblical account of the first financial transaction…
Gen 23:16… “And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.”
A shekel is a weight. Silver, a precious metal = money. Current money = currency. Witnessed by many. In this case a certain weight of silver (400 shekels) for a piece of land; a burying place for Sarah, Abrahams wife.
Proverbs 11:1… “A false balance is abomination to the Lord: but a just weight is his delight.”
Deut 25:13-15… “Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small. Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small. But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.”
Another law (out of 600+, not just 10) that man could not keep. Israel was to be “all that AND a bag of chips”! Someday… after God gets through cleaning up our mess.
Is bitcoin demonic? Any “money” other than “current money” (a perfect and just weight) is not of God. Thank you Richard Nixon.
Joh 2:13 And the Jews’ passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
Joh 2:14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
Joh 2:15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables;
Joh 2:16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.
The Pharisees and Sadduccees had a vested interest in the tithing process that involved offerings of animals. Jesus had a two-fold problem with this.
First of all, the Law forbade certain people, animals, and activities within the Temple confines. It was supposed to be a restricted holy area. Second, the non-monetary tithes given to the Temple by the poor were sold at a profit which means the money-changers were altering the exchange rates at the expense of the poor for the benefit of the Pharisees, Sadduccees, and merchants.
If people refuse to see why Jesus would have a problem with graft in the House of God at the expense of those who could least afford it, then my time is wasted.
And we can see clearly by this excellent example who Jesus was dealing with during His earthly ministry.
Matthew 15:24 KJB… “But he answered and said, I am not sent BUT unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
He deals with us from His ascended place in heaven via Paul.
Acts 9:3-6 KJB… “And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.”
From the article:
“Bitcoin, like paper money, is created out of thin air.”
Fuck you, lets see you try, lying bitch.
“Moreover, crypto currencies’ initial allure was that they could be used as a general medium of exchange, but as time has gone on, their sycophants have had to concede that none of these Ponzi schemes can act as money.”
So I guess you cant buy gold or silver with it right?
Oh…here:
https://sdbullion.com/gold or Apmex or JMBullion or anywhere that sells gold and silver.
Or… get my email I have some stuff for sale, Ill take Bitcoin.
Or…donate to Admin he takes Bitcoin.
I guess it can act as money.
Perhaps more info and less lying would make a better article.
Isnt lying the purview of Lucifer? What was the jist of the article? Funny.
I may have got ahead of myself, maybe Admin doesn’t take bitcoin anymore, apologies.
Yes, what a putz that guy must be! Out drinking and no real money. But then what is real money? Those Federal Reserve Notes? Notes are bonds. Bonds are debt instruments, so notes are not real money. Okay, so the guy doesn’t even have a credit card? Poor sap.
Anyway, Unfree, please enlighten me on this “real money” thing you seem to know about?
It is a shame how ‘liberty’ folk fell for this crypto scam. We will all feel the pain for them falling for this. You guys did EXACTLY what the bankers wanted you to do -fall for it.
And what do you do? Get up, put your pants on, go punch the clock diligently for your Fed Scrip, deposit it weekly in your Bankster account, and muddle forward until your designated Social Security expiry?
Sounds very Liberty orientated.
Has it occurred to you, that you are so fuckin deeply buried in the scam you cannot see out of it?
Might want to take a moment with that.
Bitcoin, imo, doesn’t solve anything. Because you can spend fractions of a bitcoin, it is endless how many units can be produced. Or does that mean it’s deflatinary?
Good grief, DB. Read up on the subject a little, or watch a video. Your thinking is uninformed and a bit daft at this point in the evolution of cryptocurrencies.
