Are Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Set to Fulfill Bible Prophecy?

[The Librarian]

Bitcoin was developed to replace the current banking system which has failed most of humankind.

Its growth is almost exponential and it will soon threaten the US dollar and gold as the International Reserve currency of choice.

How much longer until the prophecy at Ezekiel 7 is fulfilled where it says:

• 19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumbling block of their iniquity.

Another version says:

• “They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will become abhorrent to them...."

Some might ponder whether the rising growth of Bitcoin can be seen as a barometer for the proximity of Armageddon?

I don't think so, at least not deliberately.

The banking system is a product of the old guard. Bitcoin is a product of the millennials. Few of the old guard even know what it is, really. They may be able to parrot some buzz-phrases they have heard, but few if any would be able to explain just how or why it works.

The inventor left a text message in the first mined block which reads 'The Times 3 January 2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks'. The text refers to a headline in The Times published on 3 January 2009. It is a strong indication that the first block was mined no earlier than this date. The genesis block has a timestamp of 18:15:05 GMT on 3 January 2009. This block is unlike all other blocks in that it doesn't have a previous block to reference. This required the use of custom code to mine it. Timestamps for subsequent blocks indicate that Nakamoto did not try to mine all the early blocks solely for himself.

I think this was released in response to the financial credit crisis. 

Basically the financial world had a heart attack, the central banks pumped funny money like never before to revive it (the banks) diluting the $ of the savers.... hence, Satoshi Nakamoto presented Bitcoin as an alternative to the banking system.

We are just now starting to see how powerful it might become.

On 12 September 2017, Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan Chase, called bitcoin a "fraud" and said he would fire anyone in his firm caught trading it. Zero Hedge claimed that the same day Dimon made his statement, JP Morgan also purchased a large amount of bitcoins for its clients.^[157]

The Lone Ranger preferred Silver.

When people start throwing their gold and silver into the streets, I will write them a big check, and throw IT into the street.
