What if we printed Bibles and replaced all mentioned of "God" with "The Economy", and all mentions of "Jesus" with "Bitcoin"? I think there might be some Christians that latch onto it as a financial aid book. There are Christians embracing "Satanist" ideas all the time and "switching sides", when really they are just Changing Philosophy but actually remaining within the same basic faith. Like we can make "The Economy" tell "Bitcoin" to build a boat before the flood and save all the animals. And "The Economy" can tell "Bitcoin" to lead god's people out of Egypt and to the land of Cannon. Then the rightful bloodline of "The Economy", "Bitcoin", kills the giant "Debt" with a single stone and sling. Then "The Economy" sends its only begotten son "Bitcoin" to die for our spendful ways, then on the 3rd day he rises again  |

It's basically like building a new Religion, with just a book. Not possible. If you want people to follow it, you'd most likely need to build a Religion so people could be kept in order, and also the beliefs. Which is not that easy. ---- |

It's like writing "The Purpose driven life", but for finance. |

I am not for a Bible bitcoin. We should try a Q'ran bitcoin instead and watch what would happen on Betsofbitco.in... |

My point was that people embrace Satanism every day, so I' sure a financial bible could be successful. |

The Bitcoin Bible would start with the creation story. This would be a perfect lead in to the ideology. Then it could teach about basic use and give updated security tips. Ending on a fun note there would be speculation about bitcoins freeing the minds of people in difficult times, and the second coming of Satoshi.

Hell yeah, a new Genesis and Revelations instead of the traditional ones |

In the beginning there was zero, the void. From zero came one, the Universe, the positive and negative - masculine and feminine. Through their interaction all else came to be. Now how to ramp that up and connect it to hashtags..  Funny I actually have a lot of this worked out already. |

This month I am making a bunch of Bitcoin Town videos, but I would be down to PM and chat about really getting this done, as well as making videos about it (and linking to it) |

I think a Bitcoin comic will be great, with the concepts are explained in simple layman's terms. It will create more awareness for Bitcoin. |

Just like a brown bound Bible, with Onion leaf paper. Probably just with "BTC" or "Satoshi" as the title. |

Just as a novelty item...? If you want to actually present it as study material, tell people to read a normal Bible and just think of God as the economy and God's prophets as bitcoin. I don't think reprinting the whole Bible with one name changed would suddenly make people understand what they couldn't before  |

I don't think reprinting the whole Bible with one name changed would suddenly make people understand what they couldn't before So you are telling me that economy is irrational destructive and murdering force? You should do away with Bible, rather bad litterature and nasty main character... And it's very far away from your values... Go with simplified theories and explanations why the bitcoin is for the best and why this way should work the best. |
