There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Of all the religions in the world, nary a one of their deities healed a single amputee. Bitlievers don't espouse grandiose claims--save one: Bitcoin Protects Your Wealth. (feel free to edit said claim) |

Plenty of people already worship at the alter of money the world over already, so at least this would be more honest in that context.

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

My translation may be a little off. Crypto isn't my native tongue. Crypto BTC:23 The Blockchain is my shepherd; I shall not want. It maketh me to mine in green pastures: It leadeth me beside the pool miners. It restoreth my wallet: It leadeth me in the paths of ASICS for his name's sake. Yea, though I browse through the virtual valley of crypto, I will fear no ponzies: for thou art with me; thy algorithm and thy license they comfort me. Thou preparest a market before me in the presence of mine bankster: thou anointest my head with ideas; my buffer runneth over. Surely Blockchain and rewards shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Satoshi for ever.  |

I'm sure people have noticed how eerily similar to religion Bitcoin is becoming. The mythical founder, the email disciples, the followers. This message board as a proto-bible of texts, the wiki and the churches efforts to consolidate a one-true-book. The false prophet of Real Solid, the breakway protestants of Litecoin and the cults of BBQ, IO,IX..... the small monastery of Dev coin. Our prayers to Satoshi in the form of mining- doing Satoshis' work, The Charlaten of Pirate. And of course- the eternal blockchain. The collective memory of our entire universe.
So why doesn't someone just do it already- and register the Church of Satoshi? There is certainly enough philosophy here.
How does one become ordained? You could get ordained on the Universal Life Church website. They don't care what religion you are  I'm a registered minister |

Would anyone be interested in starting a "Church of Development". Where "god" is "the future", and we worship by making it better. Basically just a developmental coin charity that religiously works towards the future. I am a certified minister and I will work to get non-profit status in my state, but here is the base for the organization, I already have 200 members: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=213405.0If anyone wants to get married or exercise demons, I can legally do the ceremony |

Don't worry, guys - I got this:  Our Satoshi, who art in blockchain,
Encrypted be thy name
Thy transactions come
Thy will be done on ASICS
As it is on Github.
Give us this day our daily mining reward,
And forgive our zero-conf double-spends
As we forgive them that double-spend against us.
And lead us not into alt-chains
But deliver us from Ripple
For thine is the mining rig,
The hashing power, and the block reward,
For ever and ever
Amen. Genesis Block 1:1The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks Later on in blockchain:[A bunch of .onion links to kiddy porn sites] Where oh where did we go wrong, great Satoshi? |
