Did the Bible predict centralized cryptocurrencies?
More than 2,000 years ago, in the book of Revelation, the following was written:
"And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads. And that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark..."
(Revelation 13:16-17)
For centuries, this verse was interpreted as a spiritual warning, almost symbolic. A mark that prevents you from buying or selling if you don't have it? It sounded like fantasy...
But today everything is different. Technology has completely changed the interpretation of these verses.
What if that “mark” is not a scar... but a wallet?
Could a wallet linked to your biometric identity (hand or face) be that mark?
A network where all transactions are traced and approved by a central entity?
What if the impossibility of “buying or selling” arises because your access was blocked for not complying with certain rules?
Today there are already implantable NFC technologies, mandatory facial authentication for payments, and governments exploring CBDCs that completely eliminate financial privacy.
Projects like Stellar $XLM or Ripple $XRP are leading the race to "tokenize" real money.
Did the Bible predict the end of cash?
The question seems exaggerated... until you see how governments are moving towards a system where every purchase is recorded, every wallet is verified, and every user can be “blocked” with a click.
This is not theory: in some countries, bank accounts have already been blocked for political opinions.
Are we heading towards a system where the only way to participate in the economy will be through a "digital mark"?
Is it a coincidence that this was written centuries ago and is taking shape right now?
If you found this interesting, let me know your opinion...
