It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

It is crazy to say that it is a religion. Do you understand what a religion is? Cryptocurrency is simply a boom in technology and the profitability of investing in it, which is the attraction. |

People have their own belief so we can't say for sure whenever crypto is a cult or not.
For me personally, Bitcoin is investment tool but more riskier than ordinary stock trading.
Some people may say that bitcoin is haram, well in the point of religion , it's a true point !

Of course it's not a religion, however some people are trying to bring it here, hopefully unsuccessfully.

No it is not a cult. It's simply a new currency using new technology that people have really bought in to. If it were a cult of some sort, there would be someone on top telling us everything we need to do and we would probably be paying membership dues every week. Plus, there would be some kool-aid ready for us to drink when the space ship shows up to come and take us home. Don't drink that kool-aid just yet

It's not exactly a cult but it causes cult like behaviour. It draws you in with promises of riches, gets you hooked into the numbers and different types of coins, and then you realise you're at the mercy of the whales (cult leaders!)

No way, crypto is a new transparent and efficient technology based on blockchain network and there is huge space of making money out of it as it will slowly but surely take over the traditional systems, so it is an advanced and disruptive technology.

There is a lot of irrationality and people are in a form of belief sometimes blind... there are prophets (almost martyrs ! Mc Cafee..) then maybe a little bit

Haha that's a crazy way to put it, you can't say its a religion. You should know better what religion is?? Crypto is no cult nor religion.

Sure. We shall soon see the Saint Doge statues in booths-temples. Eos was in fact the "goddess" of A. Greece pantheon and there are many more. So yes - it is a religion and mythology will appear soon  |

Totally a joke, the video was all about the Piper ICO and that guy named "Gilfoyle" was a joke by the way he's answering the beautiful lady. The title was deceiving but the point of it was the answer of that guy which has some resemblance to "overlords". I don't find this thread discussing with a crypto cult if the video is the main topic or that Gilfoyle guy the way he answers make himself looks like some sort of leader. He said he's been mining since 2009. |

What the title of this thread reminded me was of all the "Lets teach children about Crypto" threads that used to pop up often here. Because those people were equating it to something so... I don't know. Someone from the outside might see that as cult like.

People like these are really existing though I have respect for him if its real that he is an early adopter. |

Damn, so many stupid comments before yours... it's a real problem that most newbies here do not follow the few clear rules in crypto. Like DYOR, or don't risk what you can't afford to lose. That's the reason why the really extraordinary crypto pump is delaying so much. (and no, I don't give a fuck if you're legendary or whichever rank if you don't know the character or the series, you're still a noob in this crypto-world). |

Take a look at the thread that was in denial that Microsoft removed Bitcoin payments on their site.
"Well you can still pay with Bitcoin"
"Uh no you can't. Here is a screenshot of the payment window right now on my account, the Pay with Bitcoin option is gone"
"But you can still convert Bitcoin to fiat and just pay with that, so you can still use Bitcoin!"

I am very interested in this topic, and say this should be a warning to people who adhere to a belief. legal aspects that must be studied for every believer. Bitcoin and other assets are often associated with illuminations I have ever read but I never knew the truth.
hopefully there is a discussion here.
