This summary, excerpted from an unpublished book on Bitcoin by Andrew Case, presents a comprehensive biblical argument for a decentralized, sound-money financial system, primarily contrasting the current fiat monetary system. The author frames the discussion with a biblical emphasis on honest weights and measures, arguing that government-controlled fiat money leads to sin, corruption, and theft through inflation and debt-based fractional reserve banking. To combat this, the text explores the history and technical workings of Bitcoin, including hashing, cryptography, and Proof-of-Work mining, positioning it as an inherently scarce and transparent alternative to centralized currencies, a view informed by the experiences of hyperinflation in places like Argentina and the ideals of the Cypherpunk movement.
