I remember what Jesus is quoted as saying, "Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's".

I'm no expert but wasn't he saying in the first verse to give Ceaser whatever he wanted when it comes to money control and in the second ... didn't that have to do with morals and crap ... not crypto???

Actually the first half was about paying the taxes to the Romans.

I also seem to remember something about a rope passing through the eye of a needle...

I think it was a camel ...

That is now assumed to be a translation error, the original words for 'rope' and 'camel' (in Aramaic? Greek?) being very similar.

The eye of the needle was a famous gate in Jerusalem. It was so named because it was very small. A rich man going to heaven being like a camel going through the eye of the needle was particularly apt to his contemporary audience. Not only was it very difficult, but you'd have to remove the packs and possessions, then the camel would have to bow down and be on its knees. The lesson was one of humility, not of impossibility.
