The "Church"(call it whatever you want) of Bitcoin

[TimeBits]

WHO WOULD LIKE TO JOIN THE "CHURCH" OF Bitcoin? In Canada we allow Sikhs to drive motorbikes with no helmets because it will mess up their turban thing. What if in our religion it was against the law to hold fiat and we were allowed to sell booze and weed and people had to accept the Church of Bitcoin Supply, because we said so I mean that is what they do right in America money, unless it is bitcoin transaction fees we do not pay tax.

what this is all about https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5141142.0

(some none troll ones)

I'd prefer a blockchain code of conduct by the community and for the community.  The code of conduct should be built on satoshi principles.
You would understand the principles by reading bitcoin Whitepaper.  

The principles/commandments in my opinion are:  

1. Thy shall not Centralize the blockchain
2. Keep the blockchain immutable
3. Remember to trade peer-to-peer.
4. Keep bitcoin scarce
5. Thy shall keep the blockchain censorship resistant
6. Thy shall use escrow.
7. Thy shall not pry on people's privacy
8. Thy shall implement reputation score for reducing scam to the barest minimum
9. Thy shall keep the blockchain trustless
10. Thy shall keep the blockchain permissionless

I like this idea bitcoin code of conduct, who will be the judge and what court will be the highest court to preside over matters as it relates to the entire bitcoin community. Why I like this is due to the fact that bitcoin is a movement and having a social framework will be a great move but again this will take time to be achieved.

If you want some non troll ones like at the start of this topic.

1. Thou shall not fractional reserve anyone's bitcoins
2. Thou  shall honor the blockchain code and its laws created by all of the people
3. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words may never hurt me (let everyone have free speech and not resort to violence)
4. Thou  shall not give another man my bitcoins or trade it into fiat but only I hold my coins and trade them p2p
5. Thou value everyone`s opinion equally (so long as they are of age to vote)
6. Thou shall not kill (unless I am defending myself from something trying to kill me)
7. Thou shall not steal (from anyone)
8. Thou shall not bribe (no using sexual favors or bitcoins to gain more power, fame or persuade peoples votes)
9. Thou shall respect everyone's personal beliefs and preferences, so long as they abide by the blockchain code.
10. Thou shall not en$lave another being, but treat them as my equal, I am not better than anyone but no one is better than me.

Legally 18 USCS § 1093 defines religious group as “a set of individuals whose identity as such is distinctive in terms of common religious creed, beliefs, doctrines, practices, or rituals.” The details suggest you want to try to abuse this or make religious entities not legally non profits.

An organization must be an authentic church to qualify. For tax purposes, a church is a place of worship including Christian churches, temples, mosques, synagogues, and other worship places. ... a recognized creed and form of worship. a definite and distinct ecclesiastical government.

Ok we use my farm, and the air from my farm spreads across the lands into the world, the world is our church.

[TimeBits]

The IRS also states that your church must have some combination of the following:

   1 Distinct legal existence (Oliver registered his "church" as a nonprofit corporation in Texas.)
   2 Recognized creed and form of worship (For this, Oliver invited his audience to "meditate on the nature of fraudulent churches.")
   3 Definite and distinct ecclesiastical government
   4 Distinct religious history
   5 Formal code of doctrine and discipline
   6 Membership not associated with any other church or denomination
   7 Established place of worship (In the case of Oliver's church, that's the "Last Week Tonight" studio.)
   8 Regular services ("Last Week Tonight" convenes every Sunday.)
   9 Ordained, commissioned or licensed ministers
   10 Schools for the preparation of its ministers
   11 Literature of its own
   12 Sunday schools for religious instruction of the young
   13 Organized worship


1. Satoshi registered his "church"  as a non profit corporation online, the exchanges have nothing to do with us
2. We pray to bits in the bitcoin core
3. Blockcode
4. We been here since 2009
5. We do not discipline here
6. nope
7. Everywhere
8. Free pizza on tuesday
9. Everyone
10. Bitcointalk
11. https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf
12. wut?
13. Everywhere

10. Thou shall smile

I think I would take the number 10 and have it adopted by people everywhere regardless if the Church of Bitcoin can be accepted by the society or not. The idea of making our adherence to Bitcoin a religion so that no laws can be passed to abridged our inherent rights to use Bitcoin can be a good idea but of course no government may take it that seriously. But I am sure many would love this idea...making it come true can even be more difficult than making Bitcoin accepted by many governments though.

I would like you to all join me for the 4:07 am in the morning prayer

Dear Satoshi Give us the strength to stop trading our bitcoin into fiat  AMAN AWOMAN

[TimeBits]

Please rise (or sit if you want to) for the morning song, you want to get fancy go ahead and take a knee
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-diB65scQU
your may be seated (or keep standing if you want to) keep sitting if you were already doing that to, that is cool.
In fact position however you would like, you want to kiss the ground and put your butt in the air, that is cool to.

[TimeBits]

If you're really asking about starting a church, in the USA it's not that hard. To enjoy tax privileges, though, " you have to sign over your taxable possessions to the church."

We sign all over all taxable bitcoin to our own wallet address (which is the church)

[Haunebu]

Hilarious. The 6th point is the best one in my opinion. I usually don't mix religion with work. The recent threads that you created regarding BTC are interesting to read indeed. The Church of Bitcoin? Lol. What's next? The Holy Grail of BTC?

I try to make light of a dark situation

Attention all position your self however you want for next morning song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT_nvWreIhg "TAKE THAT MONEY, WATCH IT BURN"

[TimeBits]

and the last final song of the day

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXRviuL6vMY

"We used to play pretend, give each other different names, We would build a rocket ship and then we’d fly it far away, Used to dream of outer space but now they’re laughing at our face, Saying, “wake up, you need to make money."

[TimeBits]

Ok fellow bitcoin church members, make sure to smile at least once today, I love you

look in the mirror, that is the only person that can make you sad.

This would be a bad joke for those who are religious person,
This is like worshipping money .

Thou does not care what other religions think, This is a faithless religion, you can be any religion and join or have none at all.
We are not worshiping money, just the genesis block that created what was the big bang itself.

It is kind of like this https://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/christianity/subdivisions/quakers_1.shtml one.
delete everything about Christianity

We just replace "God" with "Creator" as one is a deity and one is characterization because lets be real, the creator is undefinable, Creator is the best word I could find to describe it in english, if you want to call it whatever you want, go ahead, what matters is 1 bitcoin = 1 bitcoin, and fiat can suck our nuts.

pssst, we are just using this as a way to bypass all the bullshit we don`t want to deal with (I could careless what you believe or don`t)
to stop unenlightened people like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBYaxCAd_2w (notice his stumble at 7 seconds)

Don`t worry this church does not ask for donations. Creator does not need our money. It also allows you to have as many faiths or religions as you want.



Here we see Satoshi giving birth to the genesis block back in 2009

after the birth of the genesis block the people celebrated with dance

So this will serve as the ten commandments in the church of bitcoin, well this to me is hilarious but like the concept any way since it practice and preach free will it OK at list that is what God want from humans to be transparent with each other in free will. I love the number 9 thuo shall no steal which is one of the evil that have kept on happening and giving bitcoin a bad image before the general public.

[Ray55]

Your topic is really ridiculous. I want to join the Bitcoin church. I have great respect, devotion, and love for Jesus Christ. I do not have any problem when such a church is formed, I can happily go to church. And I can respect Jesus Christ

[Genemind]

You have a broad imagination of things but I don't think this idea would work since it sounds disrespectful at some point. If there would be a Bitcoin religion, I don't think they have to set those kinds of commandments.
It's fine to focus on crypto if that would be a part of a religion as long as it still respect the rights of men. Cryptocurrency is still impossible to be a religion.

Thou shall let you write the commandments, thou shall have all vote on what they want theI commandments to be.
What do you mean, The Church of Bitcoin is here!

(were just a group of friends, we all have our own beliefs still, but we honor the bitcoincode)

Today as a alterboy of the church I did some community service and spread this onto a White man, Black man, Asian woman and Indian woman on my way to get my morning coffee at Timmies here in Toronto.

All I said was "Hey you, I hope you have a wonderful day" all of them smiled looked back at me and wished me a great day as well.

If you are reading this, I am talking directly to you.  HAVE A WONDERFUL EXISTENCE!

[TimeBits]

What next? A priest/pope a leads reformation which give birth to The Church of Bitcoin Cash?

P.S. Since you mention IRS, have you submit application of The Church of Bitcoin to IRS?

This would be a bad joke for those who are religious person,
This is like worshipping money .

Then you haven't heard of those religion :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Spaghetti_Monster
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missionary_Church_of_Kopimism

And both of them are acknowledged by government

I live in Canada, also as a member of the Bitcoin Church we don`t have to answer to anyone other than the Bitcoincode.

If Flying Spaghetti Monster can be a church, the church of bitcoin can be one.

[jak3]

Omg, this post is attracting my fingers to give merits  but I can't as this post is not contributing anything to the community. but I fully agree with all the rules (especially the FREETHENIPPLES2019 one). we should have a Church of Bitcoin that is necessary.
