I sometimes wonder whether Bitcoin has established a religion.
Those of us who are fixed holders of Bitcoin are believers of Bitcoin.
Those who try to eliminate or replace Bitcoin are heretics or atheists. What is happening now I want to call it a religious war
In this way, Satoshi , the creator of Bitcoin, can be called a god. He changed the order of the world and brought revolution.

I disagree.
Unlike religion, bitcoiners base their "beliefs" on logic and math, not just because this or that guys say so. Imho it's a huge difference.

[zanezane]

Not everything has to be a religion, just because we believed in bitcoin doesn't mean that it is a religion, also if I am being honest, believing in bitcoin is much better than religion because we sort of see what we are having our faith in.

[virtualdn]

A religion for the sheep maybe. First of all whoever has money as his/her own god will not end very well. So I disagree. BTC is just wealth but we shouldn't become BTC slaves. Keep your head on your shoulders.

Some dumbs are already considering Musk as their god, Musk is just a mortal like all of us so nothing to praise here.

[mk4]

So.. you're pretty much saying that just because Bitcoiners "believe" in something, that it's a religion? With that argument then even Austrian economists also have their own religion with Mises as their god. Sounds quite stupid, right?

Not the first time that I've heard it here:

• Is bitcoin a religion?
• Bitcoin, the Religion?!
• How should Satoshism, the religion of Bitcoin, organise its church?
• Can Bitcoin be considered a Religion?
• My religion ''Bitcoinism'' My god ''Bitcoin'' My ''prophet ''Satoshi Nakamoto''

Personally, I don't consider bitcoin as a sort of 'religion'. Everyone is just a trader or speculator here, and we shouldn't consider Satoshi as God. He just gifted us with something that we can make money, simply as that.

[Wexnident]

Errr I'm pretty sure our belief in Bitcoin is different from the belief believes have with their religion. Sides, we aren't braindead, arguments are done with logic and facts that can be pretty much looked up almost everywhere and has a basis, one that well, compared with the basis of religion, is quite different.

Heretics? Atheists? I'd think idiots would probably be the better term (if you're an avid Bitcoin fan anw). And Satoshi ain't a god, Bitcoiners simply thank Satoshi, and that's probably it. It wouldn't go anywhere near embellishing him as a god or diefying him, it's just pure hearted thankfulness imo.

[xSkylarx]

So with this logic, we say that investing in cryptocurrencies is a religion because they are speculative currencies. We invest in different cryptos because we believe in their project and will bring us good fortune in the future. People that still rejects the concept of crypto are atheists (LOL).

It's bad to see bitcoin as a religion, no one worships it like they put their future on it. Bitcoin is just an investment and also currency that has a lot of potential in the future to change our world in terms of blockchain technology.

The only religion I can think of that is related to crypto is Dogecoin army, many people invested in it without really knowing the background. They are just being influenced by Elon and believes him on what he says on his social media.

Bitcoin maximalists can get a little bit fanatical sometimes.
I don't mind Bitcoin having it's critics,but I hate the pointless FUD,that has a hidden agenda behind it.
I don't think that anyone is trying to "eliminate or replace" Bitcoin.Maybe Roger Ver and Craig Wright were trying to replace Bitcoin Core with their own version of Bitcoin,but that's another case.
Most of the Bitcoin HODLers simply know,that Bitcoin is a scarce asset that has an increasing demand,which means that Bitcoin can only get more valuable in the future.This isn't a religion.This is just facts and logic.

It is stupid plus it makes the community put in a bad light since we look like we are a crazed fanatics who will do anyhing for bitcoin which isn't true. Also, the definition of religion is that it is a belief and worship of an omnipotent being which doesn't exist in bitcoin.

[hatshepsut93]

Religion is a belief in supernatural. Bitcoin is nothing like that. Just because there are people devote to Bitcoin doesn't mean that Bitcoin is a religion. And as far as movements go, Bitcoin community isn't exactly monolithic, there are people of all sorts of political or ethical beliefs here. You don't even have to hate the government or fiat currency or banks to be a bitcoiner.

[yazher]

You need to define which definition of religion are you talking about since there's a huge difference between the two. How in the world it became religion when we are only talking about mere transactions. I guess others have gone too far defining the situation of the market right now. everyone should know the definition of which things they are talking about before comparing it to the other things. If you skipped that basic process, then you are not confusing yourself, you are confusing the others as well.

[hannahB4]

 I will not totally disagree with your claim but I will say that satoshi as the creator or let me say inventor can be likened to god in this context but as a religion, I will totally disagree. If you say bitcoin is a religion then there are millions of things that should be a religion like gold, stocks, lands, and properties because we have numerous people who believe and invested in it.

[electronicash]

 anyone who oppose btc and spread fud will be attacked on social media and change.org but bitcoin didnt create a religion, we are just faithful 😬  satoshi is our savior but we just need to cruxify someone everytime the market goes south like elon so that we can go on with the bullrun again. op is joking ofc.

[maydna]

Bitcoin is not a religion, but bitcoin is a tool for making a payment or an investment. We believe bitcoin is not the same as we believe the religion because bitcoin and religion are different. Bitcoin is like a stock, gold, or other investment things, but unfortunately, bitcoin is not yet approved in all countries, so bitcoin is on the grey side. But for people who involve in cryptocurrency will agree that bitcoin is an asset that can help them make money. But if you think that bitcoin is like a religion, then that will be up to you.

[Ozero]

Religion is a belief in supernatural forces and this is associated with the emergence of humanity and its development under the auspices of these forces. Bitcoin cannot belong to religion, since there is nothing supernatural here. Its appearance is built on the existing laws of nature and is simply a new technology. Therefore, it is not worth comparing Bitcoin with religion.

[cr1776]

Bitcoin doesn't require "belief" it only requires one to understand (and perhaps read and understand the code).  No faith or any other hallmarks of religion are required, only math and science.

[Gamerholic]

I think that it is not worth talking about religion since there is no idol or deity here. I think this mass insanity is always connected only with the purpose of profit and increasing profits. When the price falls below 20-10 thousand dollars again, people's interest will fall along with the price. Only the most loyal fans and admirers will remain. Then it will be possible to talk about the flock and other religious things while it is too early, since it has become mainstream.

Not agree with this because if we do make out some comparison between religion and believers of Bitcoin then its totally obvious and even we do share up the same
faith and there are still who do opposes on it which is normal. Money or currency shouldnt really be praised nor make it as a holy thing which its just
too inappropriate for us to consider that this thing had already established some sort of Religion.Honestly, it doesnt really fit out on
the criteria.

Religion is for all God's believer with a lot of doctrine and people have a holy faith on it while Bitcoin is a digital currency created by Satoshi and exist trough internet and by the use of modern technology (Computer, Cellphone, etc...). How did you say that bitcoin is a religion? Bitcoin give us wealth in literal because we can make money out of it and you can't treat money as your God because that is bad.
