David Rufner and Jared Townley, two pastors on the Bitcoin Reformation Podcast connect Holy Week reflections and Christian apologetics with a “back to basics” question: what makes good money. Using a chart of seven monetary qualities (durable, divisible, fungible, portable, verifiable, scarce, track record), they compare cows, gold, fiat currency, and Bitcoin. While not comprehensive, they lead us to consider why we might desire a different money than the current currency we use on a daily basis.
