He has no idea about economics and he is selling crap to his followers. By his

"Came back" as in "ressurected". He likely experienced death on the cross but 
was able to "come back" at a later point in time (three days they say).

Anyway, I want to make a point here that is you can never prove anything about 
anything you haven't experienced in your lifetime and even your experiences are 
influenced by a lot of external factors you have no control over. Long story 
short, it doesn't matter whether Christ actually existed or not and taking one 
side or the other is a lost cause. The story of Christ, specifically, teaches a 
way of life that religion has masqueraded for its own profit. Think for 
yourself.

Christ was crucified when he was 33 years old, ie. 33 CE. After they thought he 
died, he actually came back so I don't know what this piece is trying to debunk.

Yet most Bitcoin users and definitely the rest of people don't how to use cold

There is work that needs to be done in order to bring it to the masses.
