episode The Danger of Prophecy as Politics cover

Beskrivelse

For American Christians, Israel is more than a nation; it’s a theological touchstone. Premillennial dispensationalism teaches that the rebirth of Israel signals the imminent return of Christ, and this belief shapes the political landscape in ways most people fail to recognize. It is a doctrine that has infected pulpits and parliaments alike. And it is a doctrine that too often blinds us to the people who actually inhabit the land we claim to care about.”

They’re Holding the Bags Now

In this episode of Contra Cast, I break down the quiet shift happening beneath the surface of Bitcoin, Lightning, and Nostr. While governments and mainstream institutions spent years dismissing Bitcoin as worthless or dangerous, the U.S. government now reportedly holds hundreds of thousands of BTC and is considering legislation to acquire even more. At the same time, Lightning adoption is accelerating, Nostr developers are shipping new apps at an incredible pace, and machine-to-machine payments powered by Bitcoin are beginning to emerge. The episode argues that Bitcoin is no longer just a speculative asset, it’s becoming the monetary layer for a new parallel internet built on sovereign identity, open protocols, and permissionless communication. The central thesis: the infrastructure everyone ignored is quietly becoming the infrastructure that wins.
