Bitcoin is a religion

[Savantor]

I think it's safe to say that those who support XRP are orders of magnitude worse than the group you are referring to. It's mind boggling how upset people get if you even dare to point them at XRPs shortcomings.

It has gone so far, that crypto "influencers" on social media carefully choose their words and think it through twice before actually saying something about XRP. Not sure how they got so involved, but it's interesting nonetheless.

They keep pointing at banks coming in and the utility, yet no one of them actually used it for anything, neither do they know if banks are actually planning to use it in the future.....

Sorry, but what's a crypto influencer?  Is that like some dude or chick who is desperate to sell me a bag of their shit coins at a 'discount' if I agree to subscribe to their daily or hourly news-letter?

I think its like penny stock, where the salesman gets 50% commission.

Everything about bitcoin smells like a penny stock factory, especially the bullshit about HODL,

In bitcoin the influencer is an 'evangelist', because bitcoin is a cult, it needs people on the sidewalks bringing in new suckers

Ah, I get it.  I’ve watched a number of YouTube videos and while some of these “evangelists” are just plain are funny, others can appear impossibly earnest, bitcoin-obsessed and totally submissive towards their favorite shit coin developers who in turn are all paid sponsors of their content. 

I’m sure most of them are also super-wealthy now after selling me their bags at all time high prices last January...No more cool aid

 so ridiculously earnest in their beliefs that it’s @a bit creepy (and funny).

I believe what you have said in this tgread except that bitcoin is a religion. Bitcoin is a digital currency that is too far to be praised off in what you called a religion. Even if it has the most valued coin of all in the cryptocurrency market, still we cannot say its religion literally.

[Idoe]

Read the Bitcoin "investors" in this forum and you always see them say the same: "I believe..."

- I believe Bitcoin will go up
- I believe HODL is good
- I believe we will see adoption
- I believe it will go to the moon

and so and...and so on.... and so on

You have no understanding - only belief

Therefore Bitcoin for many people in here is a religion - it is about belief and not about facts and understanding

And religion is an extremely poor investment strategy

Bitcoin is still a bitcoin that makes transaction tools, not religion, religion cannot be used for transactions. I have a view that bitcoin is indeed valuable by looking at the data and the market that continues to run. While religion is our belief that cannot be bought with anything and remains eternal. The belief in bitcoin is only for the future in terms of sufficient life.

[Summation]

How can this be a religion? Those who really believe in Bitcoin will not say those.
Only those speculators will be crazy about advocating bitcoin. For those who really love Bitcoin, you only need to introduce to people next to you what Bitcoin is enough, and you don’t need to suggest someone else to buy

[cizatext]

It is very interesting point and, frankly speaking, true. Some people just flock after a new technology or trend without getting in details.

A side understanding how the p2p technology works, what other details do you think you can get from bitcoin as it relates to it price since the market is unpredictable and highly volatile. So all we need do is to stay positive and in doing that we have to operate on faith and when you dig down faith operate with believe, but the ops saying bitcoin is now a religion because of the use of the `word` believe is totally wrong.

I think george carlin said "Its called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to make it real"

Whenever somebody tells you to "Have Faith, and HODL" run like hell, hide the children, and lock your doors.

It's hardly P2P when BITMAIN in China OWNS 90% of the mining platforms that  control the paradigm. A scientist would call that centralization, a village moron would call it p2p, or a circle-jerk.

BITCOIN being day-traded by a bunch of buffoons has nothing to do with technology or peer2peer networking.

Idiots accept "FAITH", all else demand CASH in hand or gold.

I am 100% guilty of the charges. But what else can we do?

Then OPs religion must be strong, because he believes :

- Bitcoin will fail.
- All Bitcoiners are dumb and ignorant
- Bitcoin is only for believers
- Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme

This is the kind of drivel threads that he is posting every day, in the hope that Bitcoiners will lose their hope and dreams for this technology.

We have a false prophet in our mist, with a bag full of hidden agendas. Just click the ignore button and build your dreams, because nobody should influence your decision to do what you want with your money. <not even if the advice is coming from a Bitcoin believer>

Hahaha. This is very true. It's quite like a religion. So many people believe without facts, and their belief is not strong. They only praise Bitcoin and other crypto when the price goes up but ignores and mocks it when it dumps even if there are so many use cases for the said coin.They only care about the short term price and does not believe that it will go up in the future because of its potential.

Why not ? you will say those things because you believe on bitcoin and it is already proven and tested that bitcoin will always work that way  but bitcoin in reality is not really a relegion because it is a currency ( cryptocurrency ) although it can be considered as a relegion because we do believe on what it can do and we have a faith on it .

[boyptc]

You have been misunderstanding the people who are into bitcoin.

Calling investors to believers and the whole community as a religion. You don't have to go that far..

Do you believe in money and all that it can gives you? do you believe in love and how it can make you happy and make you complete? do you believe in education? do you believe in any products you're using? if YES is your answer, then next question is that do you think those I mentioned above are religion? Absolutely not.
Fiat and cryptocurrency is the same. It's use for exchange of service and commodity.
What am I saying? try to learn more about cryptocurrency specially bitcoin. Then check out eco 101 or business 101. Also try to research history of money. You do know that in ancient time there's no money right?!
With bearish market we tend to overthink and over react. cool, chill and relax..this too shall pass

[Stargazing]

I think that there are people who believe in Bitcoin more than anything.

[coinwizard_]

It's easy to get sucked in once you learn how great bitcoin is. Also it is infectious so more and more people will join in and be a part of the future. Let's see how it develops next year

Religious people are strange, I had a conversation with a jehovah's witness last month and he insisted that  all other religions were false and his was the only true one.

It must be something in the way our brains work, you get a similar thing with people convinced about jfk and 911 conspiracy theories. No matter what evidence you thrust in front of them, they are 100% convinced that black is white.

and so it is with most bitcoin hodlers.

For the record.

God Does not exist.
911 + JFK are not conspiracies
We did go to the moon
Cryptocurrencies (including btc) are doomed

God is Dead, Nieztsche said so in the 1700's

911 was an Israel job orchestrated to blame Saudi-Arabia, but Iraq was punished

JFK was murdered by Israel because he wanted to designate them a foreign-lobby, and he didn't want them getting nukes ( which they did after killing him ), dozens of books were written how Israel used Meyer Lansky who ran the Vegas mob at the time to murder JFK.

Well PUTIN says the USA didn't go to the moon, who are we to believe? PUTIN or Trump? PUTIN also say's that GOOGLE is NSA, that means that BITCOIN is Google.

Crypto is what it is, a NSA-CIA-BIS NWO payment system to control world population.

I find it fascinating that both BITCOIN & SCIENTOLOGY are orchestrated by CIA, L-Ron-Hubbard was a CIA case officer who didn't write "Dianetics" until he retired from CIA early 1940's. Satoshi is BIS/NSA, but they handed BTC over to CIA about 2010. The white-paper came from BIS, and all math, algo's in BITCOIN came from NSA.

Believe in bitcoin and believe in religion is not the same issue bro you cannot mix with each other. If you want to make money by investing in a specific thing you need to believe in that specific thing. So investor strongly believes that bitcoin will fight back soon that's why they still investing in bitcoin.
