Bitcoin isn't a religion.

[Apocollapse]

Trust in Bitcoin is different with trust in religion, I don't know why you have such thought and mix it together.

Bitcoin is just a decentralized currency that aim to solve against third party who want to control everything in our life including privacy, but most people see Bitcoin as an investment since Bitcoin can give a high return from the past history. If there's a people who invest all of his funds and only wait until Bitcoin reach ATH without doing anything, he have a problem since we don't know how much the highest price that Bitcoin could reach and only invest what you can afford to lose.

People might talk about bitcoins a lot but I don't think they worship it and take it as their deity. it's just people are enthusiastic about its potential and they want everyone to know about it and decide on their own if they wish to invest in it or not. They also support it by the way of clearing it from the mainstream media and are obviously paid by the banks to spread false accusations regarding it. There's no extraordinary work here, it's just simply some good things that are being shared.

Probably not a completely correct comparison! But what kind of connection can there be?? Religion and digital currency?? It seems to me that there is very little connection here! It's just very hard to find any direct connection. Personally, I don't trace any connection here! Although I do not exclude the possibility that there may be worship in something here. It is difficult to understand what the author of this topic meant by this concept!

Most people see Bitcoin as a religion and a must to believe in it and and feel left out if they aren't.
One of the reasons people who believe so much in Bitcoin is the possibility of making money with minimal effort.
Do you really see Bitcoin as a religion?

You really misunderstood it. We see bitcoin as an investment rather than a religion to be worshipped. Bitcoin is an investment from which we can profit. I know it hurt your feelings, but it is all for profit and money because we all want to earn money, and bitcoin is the key to that. It is not about religious beliefs or anything else; it is only about us gaining money so we can buy our daily necessities. Minimal effort is also not true since as a newbie you are still struggling at first to learn and earn from it; you can simply say that it is minimal effort if you have money to buy bitcoin and hold it for a few years.

Religion and Bitcoin?
Just how do they correlate! I have searched my mind and can't find any. The point remains that, some things just don't go and that's just how it is when we look at bitcoin and region.

One is money, valued in exchanges (goods and services) while the other is the belief of an individual or a people. There isn't any relativism at that point. We got several currencies or money and non still have been looked at towards a way to life with respect to religion.

But we could use money, Bitcoin to promote or support our various religion. Without money, nothing really moves.

I will explain below to enlighten you on what’s the connection of the original topic about Bitcoin and Religion that OP describing. There some group of people like Bitcoin maxi believes that Bitcoin is all we need and will gonna survive. They put there faith for Bitcoin future price as if they are worshipping  it. The definition of religion is just simply having faith and worship on to something that will give you what are wishing for in your life.

Don’t view the topic as literal religion like worshipping to a supreme deity since religion has a wide scope and varies depends on the people perspective. Some people worship rock, nature, animals, money and something they can’t see. I think this the whole parameters people thinks when they are comparing Bitcoin as religion and not the typical spiritual type.

The crazy price gain makes user become a fanatic on Bitcoin investment because your life can be change if got lucky on your Bitcoin investment like what happened to all those users who invested on Bitcoin on its early stage.

There are delusional people, who believe that Bitcoin will become the global currency of the future. This doesn't nessecarily mean that they view Bitcoin as religion. I definitely don't see Bitcoin as some religious cult and I don't think that Bitcoin is going to fully replace fiat currencies.
Some people exploited the "cult status" of Bitcoin/crypto by fanatically repeating the good old "crypto good, banks bad" mantra. FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried are the most obvious example. Crypto isn't perfect and the banks are far from being the worst thing in the world.

This is how I view bitcoin too.
There are those who see fiat as a religious entity as well, so there is no difference in the two.
It is just those individuals who puts either of these on a pedestal and decide to worship them for whatever reason that might be.
There are bitcoin maximalists so it could be a cult status thing but only if you want to view it as such.

No, of course, Bitcoin is not a religion....

Bitcoin is a decentralized financial system, an alternative to the traditional centralized financial system.  Bitcoin is a very convenient tool for making cross-border money transfers and payments. 

Modern commercial banks do not perform their functions efficiently enough.  The central banks of developed countries are also pursuing extremely inadequate monetary and financial policies, which leads to global crises and recessions in the world economy.  That is why the importance and role of Bitcoin is gradually growing. 

Bitcoin is becoming the standard for private money.  Bitcoin is a brilliant invention of our time - a gift to all mankind!

Fiat is a religion for miser and greedy individuals who have as their only goal in life to grow their financial status, doesn't matter what they have to do to accomplish it.

And when people say "bitcoin isn't a religion" it's a criticize to the most fanatic bitcoin adopters, who don't accept bitcoin has its flaws and disadvantages, like any other thing in our material world. For them, bitcoin is a perfect currency and people who don't share their point of view are "heretics", literally.

Bitcoin is not a religion. And I don’t think most people see bitcoin as a religion and a must to believe in like you stated.
According to you, people believe in bitcoin cause of the possibility of making money with minimal effort. Following your logic, we could as well worship the dollar. Or perhaps worship gold, silver, diamonds. We could even go a step further to worship anything valuable cause it brings the possibility of making money with minimal effort.

This is without a doubt, Bitcoin is a very important asset that people who believe in it hold in high regard due to its value and transparency, but that does not mean people worship it.


Taking the Bitcointalk forum as an example, you can see that even though the forum is anonymous, many people here have different approaches that have something to do with religion and has clearly proven that we here in the forum are not worshiping the same thing, which means we have different religion; Nonetheless, Bitcoin unites us here, and that love we have for Bitcoin lives together here as one.

Yes, I understand you roughly! I haven't heard much about such a group (bitcoin maxi), does this word mean Bitcoin maximalist?? Is it possible to say that this is a sect? Of course! there is no need to approach this topic based on religious beliefs and rules, but can this group be classified as sects? It seems to me that these people believe very strongly in the idea of Bitcoin. I think they show a lot of attention with regards to Bitcoin and probably for this reason, these groups seem strange. In a sense, this can be called not normal and to be more precise, this is a cult based on bitcoin and to some extent it can be described as worship!

[coinerer]

Bitcoin is a digital asset and a investment here anyone can invest so here religion is doesn’t matter like business . People of different religions are not doing the same business in different places? it is simple thing In the same way people of any religion can invest in Bitcoin.  And since Bitcoin is a decentralized digital asset, it is not possible to track how many Bitcoins are being used by any religion. So everyone is considered equal there and  There is no difference of religion

[Sayeds56]

Do you really see Bitcoin as a religion?

No, but I see Bitcoin as essential tool to improve the financial system of every country.  Not because we are believing in Bitcoin means we are faithfully attached to it.  Trust and faith may sound the same but they have a different level of meaning.  Besides, I always think that missing out on something is a doom for that person.  Somewhere in the future the same opportunity will knock again so all those who missed out just have to be vigilant and observant next time.

Indeed, it is not religion, but a revolutionary & high-tech product of block chain technology which can solve many issues of current financial system based on fiat money which is inflationary, centralized which increases power of the government over its people which is not good at all. Some investors are so much emotionally attached to Bitcoin that they refer it as new religion.

Again and again nobody says or said that bitcoin is a religion. Please I will like you to provide the thread you said, you saw that bitcoin is a religion. You who post this thread does not understand or know what is bitcoin. Teaching religion leaders or religion believers about bitcoin is different.

Moderators should delete this thread. This thread is shit. OP provide the thread link that you saw the Bitcoin is Religion. To cry it loud and clear, BITCOIN is a digital currency for exchange. So how bitcoin related to religion. OP if you don't have anything to write up then read more in the forum to learn more.

I'm not sure what the OP means exactly, but we can never classify Bitcoin as a religion because people from all different religions around the world use it and profit from it. I've never heard of any religious issues with Bitcoin. Because nobody here knows each other's relegations and none of us are worshiping Bitcoin, the forum has brought us together because we both love the Bitcoin technology.

I wouldn't really consider it to be that big. Religion is so huge that people literally conquered lands and killed and enslaved people just to "progress religion to everywhere", and bitcoin people do not have that. Yes there is this overstating things to make it more realistic, but there has been wars and even plagues because of religion, 1/3 of all Europe died because of religion at some point.

I am sorry but bitcoin people are nowhere near that level, we do believe that it is the answer to most financial problems in the world, but that is about it, nothing more. This means it's something we love, but not something we would die or kill for at all, not even close.

[Lida93]

Religion is a way of life of a people and I don't see Bitcoin like a way of life of a people neither is it a custom except that it's just a source of investment just like every other economic businesses of the day.

Just because Bitcoin is perceived to be an alternative to fiat and other decentralized means of finance which many of us believes it to be a good thing based on the individual  control and privacy we enjoy, still that doesn't make it a religious precept and as such could never be but just an economic based tool.

I haven't heard anybody saying bitcoin is a religion before or maybe am from different part of the world, nobody is forcing anyone to believe in bitcoin, it's a choice, you can either choose to believe in it or not, their are lot's of people that still say bitcoin is rubbish and I don't blame them, that's just their own opinion, I can only enlightening them more about bitcon, the uses and advantages, but I can never force them to invest in bitcoin, if you don't believe in bitcoin is your choice we all know that bitcoin is just an investment.

[Rigon]

Bitcoin is not a religion because at the beginning of creation there was no wealth of human money and metal but environment. Similarly Bitcoin is only a virtual currency created by man. You should never prioritize it as a religion, it has become a significant part of our lives. One of our means of investment. Millions of people earn money directly and indirectly through Bitcoin. So it is not that it will prevail as our religion. Because religion teaches people to live spiritually and Bitcoin helps people economically.
