Does the catholic church or any Church take tithes in BTC?

[helars2008]

As of now i think these kind of set up is not yet implemented...
Btc doesnt have that kind of popularity yet that even churches will use in their tithe collections....
Maybe one day these might happen, then a lit of churches is gonna be rich...

I don't think this is happening right now though maybe in the future it is possible. BTC is not really widely used in establishments; be it in malls or hotels. Albeit, there are some countries whose hotels/establishments are accepthing BTC as payment or other transactions however, its popularity with regards to its use as an alternative to cash/money is minimal. With this reality alone, it is quite impossible for churches to accept BTC for the sole reason that they cannot easily use it whenever needed.

It can be in the future but that will be risky to them. You know they always want easy money for spending, they will prefer cash on hand.

This, most of the churches want money in cash form even if they do not pay taxes in most countries for them is preferably to get cash instead since you do not need to use any intermediary like banks to get access to the funds.

I dont know in other countries but in our place its not yet possible they are only accepting cash,maybe they can accept donations in bitcoin payments Im sure they are aware of bitcoins.

Definitely yes. You can ask the local church in your area to set up a Bitcoin wallet, so that the faithful could transfer their coins to that particular address. Knowing how greedy the Catholic church is, I am 100% sure that they will agree with the request.

Well, I have a plan for any and every religious institution to get (indirectly) involved with BTC and my suggestion is as follows:

In stead of continuing to f***ing rob the poor believing patrons of these organizations (who grow poorer by the day because of this), how about the religious institutions take the trillions in fraudulently siphoned monies out of their corrupt coffers and distribute the monies to their patrons, who should be encouraged to buy, hold and use BTC privately, in non-religious commercial activities.

This is nonsense. There is no Jesus or God or anything like that. The only reason you embrace this belief is because it makes you feel better about dying one day. What a waste of time.

Agree with that. Christianity is another business minded religion, and the sole intention of those who propagate it is to get themselves rich. The Catholic church is perhaps the richest organization in the world, with net assets worth close to $10 trillion. Even then, most of the Christian believers in Africa and Asia live in a state of destitution.
