Perhaps. I think that because of the anonymity of BTC governments may run into problems taxing the use of it and therefore some ruler (aka anti-christ) will come up with the brilliant "solution" and require all people on earth to have a tattoo on their hand or forehead so that the buying and selling of all goods can be traced and taxed. I guess some will say that the good news is that there will finally be a "flat tax" in place! The bad news is that this ruler, as the Bible foretells, will say he is all for "peace" and the good of humanity but he will wage a war on Christians. Of course much of the world will rejoice in this, as they already do when Christians are "put in their place." It is just the spirit of the anti-christ that is already at work among us.
As a Christian I am not afraid of BTC and think it is wise to have to have some. Of course I will never take a mark on my hand to buy and sell. They will have to kill me first. But I do value the anonymity. It could be valuable someday.
Also, I am pretty sure it will be a bar-code. Almost all nations already have scanners in place that can read bar codes. All bar-codes have a "666" hidden in them in that there are identical lines in the front, middle and end without a "number" on them but they coincide with what a "6" looks like. Just google bar-code 666 and you can research this.
You are awesome! AMEN!
Bitcoin isn't anonymous.
Governments WILL force Bitcoin users to "register" the Bitcoin addresses they use.
Any Bitcoin addresses not registered will be monitored and probably traced to the source.
You can call it mark of the beast, I call it security.
Also, the bible has been translated too many times for it to have ANY credibility what so ever.
Anyone who "believes in" stuff in the bible hasn't done any proper research on how it came into existence.
