Should You live on Bitcoin?
Maybe! Maybe not. It really depends on your lifestyle, your location, and most importantly—what God is calling you to in this season.
That said, let’s consider a few good reasons why someone in America today might try living more on Bitcoin.
1. You’re Hoping to Grow Your Money
If your main goal is financial growth, approach Bitcoin with care. Making money isn’t wrong—but as Jesus reminds us, “Do not worry about your life... but seek first His kingdom” (Matthew 6:25–34). If you’re thinking like an investor, consider the wisdom of Ecclesiastes: diversify. Bitcoin doesn’t always go up. It moves in cycles.

2. You’re Struggling with Inflation and Want to Care for Your Family
That’s a faithful and loving reason to explore Bitcoin. You’re working hard and trying to stretch your savings. While not all businesses accept Bitcoin—yet—adoption is growing. And today, there are more ways than ever to cover your essentials using it. Yes, it takes effort. And yes, it carries risk. But it also means owning your money outright, apart from unstable banks or middlemen.
3. Your Community is Struggling, and You Want to Help
This is beautiful. Wanting to strengthen local businesses, protect neighbors from inflation, and offer a more stable financial path is a deeply Christlike act. Bitcoin is about more than numbers—it’s about people.
