Considering how many Bitcoin believers (maximalists) there are, with their specific beliefs of how cryptocurrency should behave, it's becoming more evident that Bitcoin is a religion. After all, this popular movement of decentralized finance has impacted our lives one way or the other. The world has its eyes on the direction of Bitcoin as a digital currency which determines the path forward of Blockchain technology.
According to Google, the term "Religion" means the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods. This becomes true especially when many Bitcoin followers believe that Satoshi is some sort of "god". Hence, if Satoshi would reveal himself to the public, many people will follow him.
Nonetheless, what are your thoughts about this?
I don't see Satoshi Nakamoto as a "GOD".
He is a genius, one or group of great minds that created a great technology that would be used for a very long time. It also opened a lot of doors for technology to improve. We may be an organization, a community with the same belief about Bitcoin but we don't worship it nor Satoshi Nakamoto so I don't think we can call Bitcoin a religion. You may call it a currency that connects people but it is not something that we worship, and BTW, if that will happen with Satoshi, I guess he will never ever introduce himself.
I can't imagine what does the OP is thinking and why he is connecting religions to Bitcoin, I think he runs out of topic to post on the forum. Believing in Satoshi Nakamoto's creations does not mean you are worshipping him or anything else and it only needs some common sense to understand it, for example, if a person believes in what his/her boss said and those under the boss believes it does not mean that they are worshipping their boss, they are only obeying him in the term of believinbg if you get what I mean.
