Historically, tithing has been a noteworthy act by the righteous who lived more then two thousand years ago. Now, as the Second Temple in the Holy Land of Jerusalem is destroyed, many laws
that were previously given to the Children of Yisrael at the time of Moses have now become obsolete. Besides, Christ’s very essence has fulfilled the Old Testament writings which signaled
His coming into this world. While the 1/10th of tithing nowadays lost is significance in comparison to what it once was, something similar could still be implemented by anyone today with
similar ideas of what was practiced in the past, using modernized intentions and practices. Historically, the 1/10th tithing was part of an instruction given by Hashem to the people if
Yisrael: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy to the Lord. Whoever would redeem any of their tithe must
add a fifth of the value to it. Every tithe of the herd and flock — every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd’s rod — will be holy to the Lord. No one may pick out the good from the
bad or make any substitution. If anyone does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute become holy and cannot be redeemed.” (Leviticus 27:30–34). Nowadays, the tithing rules
have lost a vast portion of ability to be practiced by the general public. Regardless, some aspects could still be revived today using modernized standards of what the society sees as goods
and services that could be offered as holy to the Lord. Say a cryptocurrency trader, hodler, or any other user makes thousands of dollars in profit through a working technique. That
individual could ask: DO I really need all of that money or are there actually some ways I could distribute some of that wealth for philanthropic reasons? That is where charity of crypto
comes to mind. If the person who received that wealth from crypto, and is associated to any religious denomination whether it is Catholic Christianity, Orthodox Christianity, or some
Protestant denomination, that person could then perform something similar to tithing. Yes, 1/10th of profits might sound too much to that individual to donate, given if there are many
expenses and bills needed to be taken care of. But, the individual could still use some common sense in giving a decent donation to the religious institution or institutions of choice. It
could be practical to give contributions to more then one religious institution, to help out more of such places or worship that are established for serving God. This way, crypto profits
would go into very good use. If while one is about to make a generous contribution of crypto profits and considers that a time could come when there won’t be enough of funds to give
contributions in the future, this verse might help one rest assured that it’s basically impossible to run out of money if the intention is for generous purposes: “Give, and it will be given
to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you” (Luke 6–38). It is all about
intention. And, it is basically impossible to trick Laws of Nature, as the Laws of Nature are such forces which know everyone’s intentions and what is in everyone’s mind. This is why it is
important to have just the right intentions of performing this modernized act of something similar to tithing, with the primary and only goal to benefit the specific recipients. After being
at least a bit familiar with tithing, question could still arise: “Is 1/10th of crypto profits as contributory tithing really necessary?” If it would make you feel holy, go ahead and tithe
as much as you want, whether it is 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, or any % of profits. Even just 0.000001% of a mined Bitcoin (whatever amount that would come up in fiat standards) going as a
contribution to a religious entity is still far more better then giving nothing. Want it or not, but it would payback by a load more even one specific contribution, if not in this life, then
surely already once entering the pearly gates.
