When Banks Close Doors, Truth Opens a Better One
Debanking, Power, and the God Who Defends the Marginalized
Every few months, the same pattern reappears.
A bank quietly shuts down accounts.
No clear explanation.
No appeal process.
No allegation of wrongdoing.
Just a notice. Access revoked.
Most recently, this happened to Jack Mallers, one of the most visible builders in the Bitcoin ecosystem. His banking relationships were abruptly severed, not for fraud, not for criminal behavior, but for building infrastructure that challenges legacy power.
Before that, it was Caitlin Long and Custodia Bank in Wyoming. Despite operating within regulatory frameworks, holding excess reserves, and attempting to build a fully compliant banking model, Custodia was denied access to the Federal Reserve system. De-banked not for recklessness, but for proposing a different architecture.
Zoom out further and the list grows longer.
Political dissidents.
Faith-based organizations.
Missionaries operating overseas.
Peaceful protestors.
Journalists.
Everyday families who woke up to discover that participation in modern life depends on institutional approval.
And at the same time, the very institutions closing accounts are experimenting with blockchain technology, tokenization, and internal settlement rails of their own.
Debank the innovators.
Replicate the innovation.
Retain control.
This is not new.
This is empire behavior.
When Power Controls the Gate, the Gate Becomes the God
Scripture is remarkably consistent about this.
God confronts unjust scales.
He rebukes rulers who exploit the vulnerable.
He dismantles systems that consolidate power through coercion.
Debanking is not merely a compliance issue. It is a theological one.
When an institution decides who may buy, sell, save, give, or transact, it assumes authority that belongs to God alone. It turns access into leverage. Participation into obedience. Money into a behavioral control system.
But humans were never meant to sit on that throne.
And institutions that try eventually fracture under the weight of their own hubris.
Bitcoin as Truth in a World Addicted to Permission
This is where bitcoin stands apart.
Bitcoin does not ask who you voted for.
It does not check your passport.
It does not audit your beliefs.
It does not silence you for your convictions or your calling.
Bitcoin does not grant access.
It removes gatekeepers.
When held in self-custody, bitcoin cannot be frozen, censored, or terminated by decree. There is no customer service desk to call. No compliance officer to appease. No committee empowered to decide whether your participation is acceptable.
That is not chaos.
That is neutrality.
Legacy banking systems expand through permission and exclusion.
Bitcoin expands through truth and verification.
This is why institutions do not fear bitcoin because it is volatile.
They fear it because it is sovereign.
It exposes a reality they would rather keep hidden: money does not need masters to function. It needs rules. It needs honesty. It needs restraint.
God’s Heart Has Always Been With the Marginalized
Throughout Scripture, God aligns Himself with those shut out by power.
The widow.
The foreigner.
The persecuted church.
The silenced prophet.
The faithful remnant.
Not because they are perfect.
But because they are vulnerable to abuse.
Bitcoin mirrors that posture, not because it is holy, but because it is structurally incapable of discrimination. No one can stop a willing soul from participating in honest exchange.
In a world where banks close doors, God opens one through code.
In a world of coercive finance, He introduces incorruptible rules.
In a world that says “access must be earned,” the Kingdom still whispers:
“Come. All who are willing.”
A Word of Discernment
Bitcoin is not the Kingdom.
It will not save your soul.
It can still be misused.
But it reveals something true about the age we are living in.
When systems grow afraid of truth, they restrict access.
When God moves, He restores it.
And every time an account is closed without cause, another veil is lifted.
Prayer
Father of Truth, expose systems built on fear and control. Strengthen those who have been silenced, excluded, or pushed to the margins for standing on conviction. Grant wisdom to steward freedom well and humility to never confuse tools with idols. Let Your justice flow where access has been weaponized, and let Your Spirit guide us into truth that no human authority can revoke. Amen.
Bitcoin = Truth!!!
