Why Bitcoin for Christians?

It’s a tool that works.

TLDR; We like Bitcoin as a tool because:

  • It has lower fees since there are no middle men

  • If there is a need in your community or internationally, you can use it day or night anytime

  • People use Bitcoin more regularly then any other kind of “cryptocurrency”

Why Christians Should Use Bitcoin

How Bitcoin Helps the Church Steward Money Faithfully

“A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is His delight.”
— Proverbs 11:1

Digital Financial Stewardship

For centuries, Christians have been called to manage resources with integrity, generosity, and faith. But in today’s financial system—where inflation, debt, and manipulation are common—it’s harder than ever to be a faithful steward. That’s why more believers are exploring a new tool: Bitcoin.

At Acts 10, we believe the Church should not be the last to adopt healthy financial tools—we should be among the first to discern, understand, and lead with wisdom. And Bitcoin, when used wisely, is an opportunity to do just that.

The Problem with Our Current System

The modern monetary system is built on shifting sand:

  • Inflation silently erodes savings—disproportionately affecting the poor.

  • Debt-based currency encourages borrowing over saving and generosity.

  • Centralized control limits freedom, especially in restrictive nations.

  • Censorship and surveillance are growing threats to financial privacy.

In a world where financial systems are often unjust or unstable, Christians must ask: Are we stewarding God’s resources with discernment—or defaulting to what the world offers?

Bitcoin: Honest Money in an Age of Manipulation

Bitcoin offers a radically different approach to money—one that closely echoes biblical values.

  • Fixed Supply: Bitcoin has a cap of 21 million coins. It cannot be inflated by any government.

  • Borderless: Bitcoin can be sent globally in minutes—ideal for missions and ministry.

  • Permissionless: No bank account needed—just a phone and an internet connection.

  • Self-Custody: “Not your keys, not your coins” encourages personal responsibility and wise stewardship.

Bitcoin is like a “just weight” (Proverbs 11:1)—unchangeable, open, and fair.

What the Bible Says About Money (and Why Bitcoin Matters)

Scripture has much to say about money—and the themes are consistent:

  • Stewardship: “It is required of stewards that they be found faithful.” (1 Corinthians 4:2)

  • Fairness: “Unequal weights are an abomination to the Lord.” (Proverbs 20:10)

  • Avoiding Debt: “The borrower is the slave of the lender.” (Proverbs 22:7)

  • Generosity: “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” (Acts 20:35)

Bitcoin doesn’t replace biblical principles—it reinforces them.

By using a system that resists inflation, removes dishonest weights, and promotes self-control, we create financial space to give, serve, and plan with greater faith.

Common Objections—Answered with Grace

“But isn’t Bitcoin used for crime?”
So is cash. Tools don’t determine morality—people do. Bitcoin can be used faithfully when guided by biblical values.

“Isn’t Bitcoin volatile?”
In the short term, yes. But as a long-term saving tool, it’s a hedge against inflation and fiat devaluation.

“Isn’t it complicated?”
New tools always are—at first. But Bitcoin is becoming more user-friendly every day.

Bitcoin Is Not a Savior—But It Is a Tool

Let’s be clear: Bitcoin will not save the world. Only Jesus can.

But Christians are called to discern the times, equip the saints, and act wisely with what we’ve been given.

Just as the printing press helped spread the Gospel, and the internet enabled global missions—Bitcoin may be one of the tools the Church uses to bless generations to come.
