Join Ben Haupt, Jared Townley, and David Ruffner in this
episode of the Bitcoin Reformation podcast as they explore the intersections of
Bitcoin, modern economics, and theology from a Lutheran Christian perspective. They
explore the Bitcoiner slogan 'Fix the money, fix the world' and its potential
to address societal and economic issues by examining the intersections of
Bitcoin with Christian theology. Influential thinkers like Hans
Joachim Iwand, C.S. Lewis and Wendell Berry, particularly Berry’s book Jayber
Crow, are mentioned, adding layers to the dialogue on society, governance,
and faith. Tune in for in-depth analysis and thought-provoking discussions, and
don't forget to leave your comments and feedback on social media platforms like
