Agree. Very cool! Even in past... Protestant Reformers confiscating Catholic Church property -- not possible with censorship-resistant digital assets. What are you referencing when you say "we won't be able to access normal money"?

Thank you. Part of most bitcoin theses is that over years, decades it becomes a commonly used currency itself. So I was wondering if it would fall under "normal" money.

And seems like no. Found this helpful (from GotQuestions): "...there will always be ways around the system. Barter of goods and services and the black market will always exist. Rev 13:17 does not require that the beast maintain absolute control over every single transaction, only that the official policy forbids these transactions, making them... more difficult."

So censorship-resistant digital money would be another way around "the system." A.k.a. your comment. Perhaps it could become the dominant, vibrant system even...
