I must comment here in order to maintain good conscience (which grammatically means "with science"). The timeline you establish ("And when that moment comes--within a year or two...") seems to marry up quite nicely with several passages from scripture:
2 Thess2:3-4
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (day of Christ/judgement upon earth) shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
Revelation 18:13 specifies that the merchants of the earth will be grievously trading many commodities, listed in increasing value. That list is completed by "the souls of men".... meaning of mind, our will & our emotions.... How will that work?
Explain. How is Bitcoin that gives you financial sovereignty—borderless, censorship-resistant money that can’t be printed, frozen, or inflated away by governments—anti-earth?
The benefits you construe are theoretically true of crypto-currency, but not so much of Bitcoin; the ledger is public therefore not privacy-respecting, ergo, available for the gov-corp technate to weaponize against you in the usual ways. The ecosystem is not pervasive so you cannot avoid ramping value to and from BIS-fiat, therefore you have not escaped the control grid. That is why they are hammering FOSS P2P E2EE crypto, tools and LLMs being feverishly developed by the hopeful. But even if successful, it is for the techno-savvy, it is small, local, low-powered by definition. I see a limping future for the desolate few that survive outside this gulag of the globalist parasites. As you said, this plan is ancient.
Seems like a greener more just world you and I want could be coming by computing with slime mold. But I see AI and crypto unregulated and being used to make the ruling class richer at all our expense. We're already enslaved by the feudal few. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwr1EOvAxQI&t=654s
I am very, very leery of the whole digital money thing. It presupposes that everyone must have a phone on them, fully charged, and loaded with virtual wallets at all times. I simply do not want to spend what little peace of mind I have left, trying to figure out another new-fangled "app". I realise this puts me in the category of dinosaurs, but we really, really need to get disentangled from these dastardly digital ankle bracelets. I will keep an open mind, but I suspect that the elites may find a way to infiltrate and devalue any crypto alternative that we may devise. But that may be an opinion driven more by ignorance as to how it all works, I concede that. The alternatives don't seem all that great, either. The current digital banking system is way too vulnerable to bank surveillance and governmental control. Physical money is sadly being phased out due to the allure and convenience of snapscan, and other electronic transactions. And the business of business is being hoovered up by the middleman monopoly tech behemoths like Amazon. About the only thing that will be left is barter, and perhaps an attempt to revive gold and silver as a base unit of currency. But how does the value of gold get established, if digital takes over completely? I don't know. This is way above my comprehension. All I know is that the bankers, and the greedy ones who suckle at their teats, have a stranglehold - and this has come about with our compliance and apathy. We have to find a way to break it.
I applaud your attempts to highlight the work and thinking of the dissenters, misfits and rebels in our midst. They are vital for our morale! Thank you for the article.
I think it's probably earlier then the 13th century BCE. I can't get a good reading but Joseph is said to have traveled to Egypt around 1600 BCE. The Jews have been fighting for our survival ever since.
Not so sure about the Jews fighting for our survival, biblically. Romans 11 narrates a lengthy piece about their rebellion, vs28 specifies their status as the enemy to the gospel of grace that saves us today.
That said, I agree that this condition we are experiencing is much, much older than most ard aware. It's the original conflict, just updated. Who said, "I will be like the Most High" (Isaiah 14:14)? That phrase is reserved for the possessor of heaven & earth alone. That's the inheritance that Jesus has re-claimed.
Speaking of AI, I can tell you’re using ChatGPT to write about the new AI-consolidated world order. Plummeted your credibility to zero. Won’t be reading again. 👋🏼
Can do compost loos, veg gardens, straw cob building, wood stoves(under threat from environmentalists,which is mental), etc... but teccy stuff goes over my stupid head..and without electricity how can it even exist?
I see the merit in your framing—especially the warning that control rarely arrives as force, but often as convenience. That feels eerily plausible.
That said, I’m skeptical of crypto as the silver bullet for reclaiming sovereignty. It may be one of several tools, but genuine decentralization also requires deeper ideological shifts—rethinking our relationship to power, trust, and community.
Escaping centuries-old centralizing patterns isn’t just a technical challenge—it’s a cultural, even spiritual one.

you were doing well until you wrote block chained. There is no way that energy eater or AI will save us from anything.
It is anti. Earth. And we're Earthlings here.

I’m just reading news for the last few years like this story that cite enormous energy sucks and damage mining https://www.greenpeace.org/usa/countries-say-no-to-bitcoin-mines/
Fair enough. Please dig deeper. I suggest you read this book. It changed my life logarithmically for the better.
”The Bitcoin Standard: The Decentralized Alternative to Central Banking”, by Saifedean Ammous

Interesting
I think the seeds of this conflict date back a bit further then you think. The Jews left Egypt in the 13th century BCE.
Expand please

The Middle East has been a cauldron for millennia, but the current situation is something that began in the 20th century. It grew worse after 1948.

Interesting artical , but I'll pass on block chain. And I'm not going to debate it or comment. There are ways out of the system.
show me, please
