We have an answer to that! "Show me a coin" Jesus was ok using the government currency for worldy affairs. He just didn't seem to think worldy affairs were the important thing. I am pretty sure Jesus would only care about Bitcoin insofar as we could use it in service to the kingdom of God. Can you use it to "go sell all you have and give the money to the poor"? Or what would he think of stacking sats? "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." "๐ŸŽต I left my heart in 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa ๐ŸŽถ"

I don't know. I think He'd also be concerned in how the money we use is produced and if it were used as an economic weapon to steal from the poor and give to the rich. And credit-based money seems particularly nefarious.
In this case, The Denarius was owned by Ceaser, it was effectively Ceaser's property lent out to the people as a medium of exchange. Such as The Federal Reserve Notes belong to The Federal Reserve whereas Old U.S. Notes belonged to The United States hence effectively The People. Possession of property is endowed with a seal, or mark as proof. While in material affairs it may not be deemed so but in the affairs of Laws, and The Spiritual it is such.
I don't disagree, but I also don't think any monetary system can claim God's endorsement. It is all just a tool. No currency can correct intention. You can still use Bitcoin as a weapon. Bitcoin can still become an idol. It does not point to God (anymore than anything else), it is just a thing. A thing ontologically lower than rocks.
