 God told the Israelites in the Old Testament that their only king should be Him. So in a way, human monarchies could be described anti-Christian. Just saying.

Props on Bitcoining, though. I'm sure you can do some good.

 Jesus is always King 🙏. Earthly monarchies, when done right, aim to reflect His divine order, protecting traditions, family, and stewardship. And thank God for #Bitcoin, a tool for nothing but truth, aligned with these values.

 Amen, brother. Overall IMO Republic > Monarchy > Democracy, however I think for a few generations a Monarchy can sometimes give best results. It's a ticking bomb though; just a matter of time until you get a degen regent.

Ultimately, hopefully Bitcoin can help take us to a place where God's natural order suffices.
