Bitcoin is a religion

[Pinkris128]

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 a religion? God you're talking... How can you combine spiritual (Church) faith and hope that the price of bitcoin will grow? This is bullshit!
Your understanding of religion is very incomprehensible, or you just decided to write some nonsense!

I agree, I think you are lack of knowledge about religion. Your proof was not acceptable to compare bitcoin into a religion. They are too far from each other. Just because people or investors only beliefs that something good will happen to bitcoin that doesn't mean that they treat it as a religion. Maybe they just have faith on bitcoin and trust on it. But that doesn't be consider as a religion.

[hadveach]

it is not belief, and it is not religion. but that is strategy and speculation. the stock market is always synonymous with such a strategy.

trust is only a small part that can make us calm and not panic.

I don't see bitcoin as a religion, for one to believe on technology doesn't mean he/she hold it as a religion but as a true technology striving to the top in short time. The technology behind bitcoin is the tech that brought us into this industry and will keep us till its world wide accepted and adopted. I wholeheartedly believe on religion and equally believe on Bitcoin existence.

Bitcoin is a not a religion and not because people have beliefs on it you can compare it already to religion because they are different. Yes bitcoin makes one person believe on something which is not already happening but not all beliefs can be consider in a field of religion. Religion has its own concept as well as the bitcoin too.

[Wodomi]

There is a believe in bitcoin by almost all member on this forum. Bitcoin and cryptocurrency is all about speculation and it only believe that makes it as a religion by its members having faith in it.

Bitcoin is a digital currency, which is a currency but uses it digitally. So there must be devices such as smart phones or computers and the internet. Bitcoin users are people who have confidence that bitcoin can increase their income so that their lives get better. Having confidence here is believing not religion.

Confusing . I don't understand why Bitcoin must be associated with religion? I think it is only a form of hope or prediction and is manifested in writing. In my opinion, bitcoin should not be associated with religion.

It also seems so strange for me when somebody says that Bitcoin can be a religion. People, who believe in God can be offended, and the atheists will not like it as for them, all religions are blind while BTC is always the knowledge.

[tmpwhore]

Maybe it's true.  Bitcoin is a religion. It has it's own big community, God - Satoshi Nakamoto, miners are clerics and believers are all holders. Maybe this religion will be the most famouse in the nearest years.

[PointHope]

Maybe not a religion, but Bitcoin is certainly revolutionary.

Jesus was truly a revolutionary. They tried to crucify Jesus and failed.

The current powers at be wanna crucify Bitcoin.

Bitcoin keeps getting the resurrection action.

[bitfocus]

Sorry to say, yes, it is, Bitcoin is like a cult for a lot of people.

[biskitop]

the most important thing is trust, we should all believe that bitcoin will rise again and that will make us more calm at work. and I am sure that the bounty will rise again.

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

The purpose of the word "believe" is not only fixed on religion, if you only have such understanding it seems that your understanding in a sentence or word is very narrow. Because the word "believe" can be meant for many things. For example, you want to fight in a competition, but on the other hand your competitors are very difficult, then you convince yourself by saying "I believe I can" etc. So, is the word "believe" religion? I don't think so, because it's just an expression to strengthen yourself to be consistent.

Yeah confidence in the future of bitcoin. cannot be interpreted as a belief in religion. yeah both of them are mandatory. but religion is not supposed to be linked to investment. you're right we have to believe in bitcoin so that we won't panic easily

[Horas1976]

Bitcoin is an appreciation of humans who are able to provide convenience in desires, bitcoin and religion have many differences and do not equate.
Indeed, the word "confident" here gives an opinion to encourage yourself and colleagues to continue to prejudice both in every speculation that occurs.

You really don't understand about what is the meaning of religion, I don't ask anything to bitcoin, even my bitcoin is in my control, if you don't believe that bitcoin price will go up then why you still spend your time here? What do you want? Bitcoin is the matter of thrust, I thrust bitcoin more than bank although people said that bank is agen of thrust but in the fact there are many case that the customers loss their money in bank because the bank is bankrupt and cannot give their customers money back, bank save their customers money and then lend 90% of it so actually there are only a small percentage of the customers money that still in bank, there is also a risk if you save your money in bank. As agen of thrust bank was make many people disappointed, do you think that people don't look for a way out of this problem? I believe that people will leave bank and save their money in their own bank which is cryptocurrency wallet. If you has studied about macro economy then you will understand about it.

[reynald70]

Bitcoin and Religion obviously very much different, do not equate Bitcoin with Religion, because Bitcoin is only worldly which clearly has a lot of controversy in it. The use of the word "I am sure" "I think" is in my opinion just a prediction that is commonly done by all humans.

You can be right. However, we have to remember that we are talking here of ordinary guys and girls who can even be newbies in investing and they do not rely so much on technicalities but rather what they can be feeling. And indeed, emotions can be the poorest factor when it comes to investment and trading for that matter. People were burned in 2017 all because of blind speculation (the assumption that the price will continue to go up without stopping). This is one area that cryptocurrency is very much known...the whole thing democratize access to investment but at the same time this very thing has become its weakness. Ironic, isn't it?

[nerlial]

Then, if you do not believe, you don't need to invest in cryptocurrency at all.

Bitcoin is really a belief and many of us believe in the future of cryptocurrencies and bitcoin. I think we are at the time when blockchain technology is one of the things people, companies and governments debate the most. I seriously think that bitcoin might become religious to some people in future but not all the investors as many of us has understanding on the state of cryptocurrencies investment and investments in general.

[jeremy84]

Yep, most people do that. However, not all. There is faith, but there is knowledge. For example, I do not believe that Bitcoin will grow, I know that, since many facts speak about it. But yes, 90% of people simply believe and rely on the opinions of others. This is not the right strategy if you want to make a profit.

[Altf4]

Yes , bitcoin might be near to religion only that in relugion we believe in Gods , but in bitcoin we believe it can really change the life of the individual ,but only if you work hard for your investments and and have the attitude of a very patience and do not need a very immediate effect, that others want to be a fast richness in life.
