This was one of my biggest arguments with myself, as I have grown to believe that we as men and women need to return more of our lives to the physical (to God’s creation) in order to be the healthiest and happiest, so in that line of thinking I thought I needed to reject the digital world. I now feel that maybe the way forward is a bridged existence. One that utilizes the positives of the digital world, one that takes advantage of the technologies while still structuring my life and time back into the physical. Because I know that is where I feel happiest- maximizing time spent in person with friends and family, time spent outside in nature, hobbies and activities with my body and my hands, growing my own food.

I thought gold and silver had to be superior because it was God-made and of the physical world, but I was being ignorant to admitting that a man-made digital technology could maybe offer me more.

All money and all things are valuable because of our belief in them. So at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter to me if the money is in my hand or on my phone, it matters which one truly offers me most freedom and flexibility. Which one actually allows me to get back to the physical realm, and ironically it’s the digital money.
