Do I have no idea what right or wrong is without God?
Personally, I do think that God or more precisely, the Holy Spirit (or our "conscience" as some people call Him) does speak to us and tell us what "right and wrong" is. Where does our sense of compassion come from?

The more I listen to Him, the more compassionate I can become. The more loving I can be. The more I can care about others, regardless of their beliefs, be it atheist, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, etc. I don't have to agree with people that think differently than I do, but I need to love them and try to show them that God loves them too. The difficulty is that in "loving" them, I often feel a compelling sense of showing them that they are on a destructive path.
Many people refer to the Holy Spirit as "It". The problem is that in scripture the Holy Spirit is referred to as a person. I am perfectly fine if for whatever reason you feel the Holy Spirit is a "She." The point is that the Spirit is not a "thing" that is manipulated or used but He/She is a person that speaks to us, comforts us, and walks with us. According to the Bible, there is neither male nor female in heaven so this is a non-issue to me. Of course, men might want to disagree.
Also, you are right. I am deciding what to listen to and what influences my mind. I have found I need to have a filter on at all times. I go about this by using this verse: "Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things." I try to use this yardstick for everything that I spend time on. So applying this to Bitcoin: I think it is true, right, can be used for noble things if the person decides to and is excellent.
