I told them: Jesus said to give up all your physical possessions. Gold, silver, and fiat currencies like the dollar, peso, and euro are physically possessions. ₿itcoin is non-physical. Therefore, Bitcoin is the only property you can own without going against God's word ????
u/ ×FellowHumanBeingx added this great line:
Just quote this, and relate "heaven' to the internet:
Matthew 6:19-21 NLT
”Don't store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.
He also added this verse to reference for those who are religious and might have problems with investing:
Also, if they have an issue with investing, quote this:
Matthew 25:14-30 NLT
Again, the Kingdom of Heaven can be illustrated by the story of a man going on a long trip. He called together his servants and entrusted his money to them while he was gone. He gave five bags of silver to one, two bags of silver to another, and one bag of silver to the last—dividing it in proportion to their abilities. He then left on his trip. “The servant who received the five bags of silver began to invest the money and earned five more. The servant with two bags of silver also went to work and earned two more. But the servant who received the one bag of silver dug a hole in the ground and hid the master’s money. “After a long time their master returned from his trip and called them to give an account of how they had used his money. The servant to whom he had entrusted the five bags of silver came forward with five more and said, ‘Master, you gave me five bags of silver to invest, and I have earned five more.’ “The master was full of praise. ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!’ “The servant who had received the two bags of silver came forward and said, ‘Master, you gave me two bags of silver to invest, and I have earned two more.’ “The master said, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!’ “Then the servant with the one bag of silver came and said, ‘Master, I knew you were a harsh man, harvesting crops you didn’t plant and gathering crops you didn’t cultivate. I was afraid I would lose your money, so I hid it in the earth. Look, here is your money back.’ “But the master replied, ‘You wicked and lazy servant! If you knew I harvested crops I didn’t plant and gathered crops I didn’t cultivate, why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank? At least I could have gotten some interest on it.’ “Then he ordered, ‘Take the money from this servant, and give it to the one with the ten bags of silver. To those who use well what they are given, even more will be given, and they will have an abundance. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away. Now throw this useless servant into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
u/ col381 added this ammo to the discussion of how fiat currencies like the US Dollar are against multiple religions and their beliefs:
Fiat is specifically against Christianity, Judaism & Islam as each religion speaks out against Usury, I.e debt/loans in which interest is paid. Since most fiat currencies are created through debt, and since inflation acts as a penalty to owning those debt tokens - this is pretty much the same thing, which means all the modern currencies are absolutely ‘anti-god’ according to multiple religious texts.
Edit: Holy shit these worked! Thanks guys! Here’s the last verse that got them to reconsider-
Ecclesiastes 11:1-2 GNBUK
Invest your money in foreign trade, and one of these days you will make a profit. Put your investments in several places many places, in fact - because you never know what kind of bad luck you are going to have in this world
