 I don't really care is my point. I have my views, I support your right to have your views. If I'm wrong I'm wrong. Oh well. If my views have negative consequences then I guess I'll take those negative consequences. I don't believe Jesus is alive.

 Well...how would you answer a loved one who responded about bitcoin as you have above? The consquences of being wrong about Jesus are a bit more serious than being wrong about bitcoin. Perhaps there's more here than you've considered? But I won't be pushy here, fellow #pleb, I've said my piece.

"I am *the* way, *the* truth, and *the* life; no one comes to the Father except through me." [John 14:6](https://esv.org/John+14.6)

 I don't care if my family uses Bitcoin or not it's their choice. I'm not going to try to make them do anything with their money. When they said "I'm going to disagree" I would just say ok.

 I too would stick to persuasion over coersion in both realms.

 I want to be very clear just so we know we aren't enemies, I'm not against Christians and if you look at some of my older notes that's very obvious. I'm just not a believer myself. Just wanted to state that so you know.

 Oh--I didn't get that at all, but I appreciate you saying it. 🤙
