The first thing to understand is that the term brother (Gk. adelphos) has a broader meaning than uterine brothers. It can mean a biological brother, but it can also mean an extended relative, or even a spiritual brother.
Take Genesis 13:8 for example. Here the word brother is being used to describe the relationship between Abraham and Lot, who were not biological brothers but uncle and nephew
Because of the Bibleβs broad semantic range of βbrother,β we can rest assured that although St. Paul writes, β[Jesus] appeared to more than five hundredβ¦brothers at the same timeβ (1 Cor. 15:6), we need not infer from this verse that Mary gave birth to more than 500 children!
James and Joseph (also called Joses), who are called Jesusβ βbrothersβ (Mark 6:3) are indeed the children of MaryβJust not Mary, the mother of Jesus.

Like a stock, you can buy and hold Bitcoin as an investment. You can even now do so in special retirement accounts called Bitcoin IRAs. No matter where you choose to hold your Bitcoin, peopleβs philosophies on how to invest it vary: Some buy and hold long term, some buy and aim to sell after a price rally, and others bet on its price decreasing. Bitcoinβs price over time has experienced big price swings, going as low as $5,165 and as high as $28,990 in 2020 alone. βI think in some places, people might be using Bitcoin to pay for things, but the truth is that itβs an asset that looks like itβs going to be increasing in value relatively quickly for some time,β Marquez says. βSo why would you sell something thatβs going to be worth so much more next year than it is today? The majority of people that hold it are long-term investors.β
