I posted on a side account some images from a Baroque church, and somebody said that "we bitcoin" to build again like that. The more I think about it, the more I doubt it. We already have Bitcoin billionaires, and nobody does it. If you think that you'll buy the Earth and the Moon with a few Sats, you won't spend shit. 🤷

I think it has more to do with thinking long term. My husband and I don't have much btc, but we're all in on the philosophy and when we built our house, it was with the future in mind. It's solid and made with real materials (brick, straw, mud, lime, sand, wood). We could have done it faster with flimsy materials, but we are thinking long-term and we want it to last.
I can imagine that when people with that attitude build a church, it's going to be more interesting and beautiful than the buildings we've seen over the last 50 years or so.


I also generally dislike the "bitcoin fixes this" sayings. bitcoin doesn't fix anything in the physical world, people do. so at least to me when people say that bitcoin fixes X or Y in the world it sounds lazy or at least like virtue signaling
(these photos were during the building phase! we hadn't yet grouted the tiles, and I don't remember now why we had plastic on the window frame)
There's a bit too much propaganda in the Bitcoin space, but I was born in communism, and I probably get irritated too easily. "With Bitcoin, we won't have wars!" We kill each other long before central banks or any kind of bank, for that matter. Coming back to my original post, we built great things through spilling blood and inducing guilt, but, being far enough in time, we enjoy a high degree of "innocence".
Building a durable house has nothing to do with Bitcoin. I have lived in "bricks and mortar" homes since way before that.
