Is bitcoin a religion?

[mmfiore]

In a way i believe it is.

But only because the way it works (today!), is only within the liberal capitalist system which is himself impregnated with protestant culture.

So yeah.

For God's unbeliever then perhaps they considered it as one but for me it's not!

I mean if you treat money as a diety snd you actually think that bitcoin could save your very soul if you believe i one then bitcoin is a religion. It has like principles like stock going up, increasing gains, if you don't work you'll be punished by decreasing value of your portfolio. It alsk has a moral background, like HODL until your faith in that coin is rewarded. I know it could be kind of twisted and i over simplified the meaning of religion but then again, if you value money that much then it is a religion of sorts.
