How to Talk About Bitcoin at Thanksgiving
A Kingdom Bitcoin Guide for Grace-Filled, Truth-Grounded Conversations
Thanksgiving brings rhythms we all know well with family gatherings, stories resurfacing, dishes passed around the table, and someone inevitably leaning in with:
“So… how’s your bitcoin thing going?”
If you are reading Kingdom Bitcoin, you are likely the designated “bitcoin person” in the family. But here’s the good news, Thanksgiving is not the time to win a debate. It is the time to embody truth, carry grace, and plant seeds.
Scripture gives us the posture:
“Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt.” — Colossians 4:6
So today’s post is not about proving a point. It is about letting the light shine in a room where hearts are open and gratitude is already flowing. On that note before moving forward, if you want a masterclass in carrying grace into difficult conversations, my wife Denise Grace Gitsham wrote the definitive guide: Politics for People Who Hate Politics sharing wisdom for navigating the other Thanksgiving landmine without losing your soul.
Here is your Kingdom Bitcoin Thanksgiving Conversation Guide.
🍽️ 1. Lead with gratitude, not graphs
Before explaining halving cycles or decentralization, start with what Thanksgiving is built on: gratitude.
A simple line like:
“I’m grateful for bitcoin because it has helped me think generationally and steward resources intentionally.”
Why it works: People don’t resist gratitude. They lean into it.
Scripture anchor:
“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.” — Psalm 107:1
👨👩👧👦 2. When skeptics speak, respond with grounded peace
If Uncle Jerry says, “Bitcoin is dead,” smile softly.
Instead of debating, say:
“Bitcoin has survived five crashes over 75%. Every single one eventually led to a new all-time high.”
It is not defensive. It is factual, historical, and calm. And calm is a Kingdom witness.
Scripture anchor:
“A gentle answer turns away wrath.” — Proverbs 15:1
💡 3. For the curious cousin, tell stories, not technicals
Bitcoin is best explained through metaphor:
• “It’s digital gold that can’t be manipulated.”
• “It’s money that keeps its promises.”
• “It’s an incorruptible savings technology.”
• “It’s like having a financial Exodus from Pharaoh’s economy.”
Or my personal favorite: “Bitcoin is economic truth written into code.”
People remember stories, not specs.
🕊️ 4. Introduce the Kingdom lens when invited
If someone asks about faith:
Say:
“God loves systems that reward honesty, stewardship, and generational thinking. Bitcoin helps train those muscles.”
Scripture anchor:
“The Lord delights in honest scales.” — Proverbs 11:1
You’re not preaching, you’re connecting dots.
🍁 5. Know when to release the moment
If the table gets heated, pivot gently:
“We don’t need to fix monetary policy over mashed potatoes.”
It resets the tone, adds humor, and restores peace.
💛 6. End every explanation with blessing
Ultimately, bitcoin is not about price. Bitcoin is about people.
It is about legacy.
It is about stewardship.
It is about truth.
Thanksgiving is the perfect table to carry that spirit.
Scripture anchor:
“In everything give thanks, for this is God’s will for you.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:18
Prayer 🙏
Father, thank You for the gift of family and the grace of gathering.
Fill our conversations with peace, truth, and humility.
Let our words reflect Your Kingdom, and let every moment at the table be seasoned with gratitude. Teach us to be witnesses of Your goodness in how we speak, listen, and love. Amen.
