Bitcoin isn't a religion.

[Iroh]

I got this very topic phrase"Not A Religion from one of my favourites in the community (Bitcointalk forum).
This very topic rang a bell in my heart because I had to read her response on a topic over and over again and I really do agree with her that Bitcoin isn't a religion
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?

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.

Take a chill pill man and relax more. I do not agree with the OP on what he said about most people seeing bitcoin as a religion and a must to believe in; as I don’t see bitcoin as a religion but I still don’t think the thread is shit and should be deleted.

The mods too don’t think it shitty to delete as it’s still up. That’s why the forum is unique as all questions no matter how ignorant and dumb they may seem are entertained.
If mods go about deleting threads that some members consider shitty, how then would members learn anything?

Bitcoin isn't even a religion in the first place! if Bitcoin is a religion, we need to pray in specific day, like a Christian who pray every Sunday morning. Bitcoiners or Bitcoin enthusiast wouldn't need to pray and there's no God in Bitcoin, Satoshi himself is a human and he's just very clever among other people. Do you think Albert Einstein, Alexander Graham Bell. Nikola Tesla, and Stephen Hawking are Gods?

Religion? who would even think of that?
Butcoin is indeed a profitable investment but obviously it is far from religion which is more of belief of something which resembles 'conduct' to its believers. These things are just too away from one another.

Praying is just a tool to communicate and if that's the case, whose entity would we want to communite? Satoshi? Silly.

I'm really surprised that there will be people (if this is even true that there are individuals thinking of such thing) to literalize "praising money" which is in the first place is just a figure of speech, which simply means an individual is looking that much  of how powerful money is. The analogy you used with scientists and their creations are the best example. But if and only if you know someone who think of such way to cryptocurrency, please advice him to seek for professional help.

Praying is a medium of each religion by which a person requests something good or bad from his creator.  Bitcoin is just a currency and it is known as a valuable currency worldwide.  How can it be compared to a religion?  Religion is acquired by every man by his birth . Meanwhile, Bitcoin can be bought and sold by anyone at any time. Can religion ever be traded? So how can one compare bitcoin to religion ? lol

I also believe that Bitcoin is not a religion and I don't think anybody is there to worship it. In first place I see Bitcoin as alternative for fiat currency and also as a investment,and that is why many religion people come to invest in it. I believe nobody will sake anything from thing that is being traded and in fact doesn't have stable price.

To me this is just another form of FUD, they are trying to describe bitcoin holders as some sort of fanatics that want to bring everyone to their cult and if you are not part of them then you are against them.

And this is not true, I do not care at all if other people believe bitcoin is a scam or a Ponzi, they are free to believe whatever they want and time will tell who is right, and so far bitcoin holders have been proven right for more than a decade.

[Golfler]

To think more simply, bitcoin is just an investment, a store of assets as well as a means of payment, it serves our lives, we do not serve it as a god.
Bitcoin is not as godly as you think, you should remember that we didn't have bitcoin before and we still live well and everything is normal. But if you are religious, you know how important religion is.

Yes, money is the most important thing when you don’t have faith, and people around you are all about money first. After you have faith, you will find that the habitat of your soul is important to you. Bitcoin may be A religion but he will not take away our original belief, this religion may be a belief that will restructure our material life order.

I think you are very loosely using the word "religion" here. I don't think that just because there are people who believe so much in bitcoin they view it as a religion.

Do you really see Bitcoin as a religion?

Obviously not, I believe in what change bitcoin can do but I do not view it as a religion.

I dont see Bitcoin as religion and I think no one should. Is it because of the belief about the price that's why you asked this question? Many people (including me) are believing the price of Bitcoin will skyrocket in the future but it doesn't mean we consider it as a religion because it's a different thing. For me, Bitcoin is a digital currency, a speculative asset that can bring profit if you invest and able to wait for the perfect time to sell.

[bitzizzix]

In my opinion, religion is the same as our beliefs and rules which contain orders and prohibitions that must be obeyed, and religion teaches goodness that will guide us in life later.

and what does it have to do with bitcoin, bitcoin is only for investment or as an asset just like investment and other trusted assets that can make a profit, And in the same way you buy cheap things and resell them at a higher price to make a profit, bitcoin is not worshiped and also no one asked for his prayers so it is completely against religion.

I cold heartedly agree Bitcoin isn't a religion. It's a digital currency that enables secure, instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin is open-source and completely decentralized, meaning it's not controlled by any single entity. This makes it an ideal currency for online transactions and helps to keep your information private and secure. The fact that it is rarely used for legal purposes puts it even further but the again depend on the religion xD.

Bitcoin is not a religion, and it is forever not a religion.
 
Also when there are people who strongly believe in Bitcoin does not mean that the person considers Bitcoin as a religion but rather that Bitcoin has the same as a form of investment because it can provide profit.

Just like when someone believes in gold, property as an investment that can provide profits or also when you trust someone because he is worthy of trust will not make what is believed as a religion

[Frankolala]

Bitcoin is not a religion, these are two different things. Religion is a particular system of faith and worship of a supernatural power, in religion,there must be something you serve,why bitcoin is a digital currency and a valuable asset that can be acquired.

Believing in Bitcoin,is just like believing in an idol that can disappoint you at anytime or even when you need it the most. Bitcoin has brought financial freedom to the world and that was the purpose of its creation. Religion teaches us good morals and on how to live our lives in other not to be of bad eggs to the society.

We call it an investment. Religion and investment are not the same and will never be the same; it is really self-explanatory. I don't know why the OP said that some people are believing that bitcoin is a religious concept, though it is only for us to earn profit and money. People really need money, which is why they are really investing in those things from which they can benefit, such as gold, properties, and bitcoin, but when it comes to religion, we really have our own beliefs, but mostly money is not involved.

bitcoin is not a religion, bitcoin is still a coin, it has nothing to do with religion. and it's impossible for us to worship coins, we should only worship the almighty God.

Literally speaking, bitcoin has nothing to do with religion. It is either OP exaggerated it or the word religion is used as some sort of an idiomatic expression.

Religions around the globe aren't based on science but more on faith. In religion, someone can say 1+1=water while bitcoin is scientific and it is immutable. Bitcoin and its blockchain is a revolutionary invention promoting decentralization, privacy, anti-inflationary, etc. When bitcoin was launched, it created a movement and its hardcore enthusiasts are the believers.

[Shaha98]

Religion is one thing, Bitcoin is another.  Bitcoin has nothing to do with religion because religion is belief about God's creation.  And religion is the belief that we human beings have a creator who is created.  But we would be wrong to trust Bitcoin and transact invisibly to believe it would be compatible with religion.  Because Bitcoin is a technological blockchain currency that is running to every nation in every country in the world.  So religion and bitcoin are never compatible they are completely different.

It definitely is not, if you consider this simple meaning of the word Religion:
"True Religion is serving our CREATOR in purity and staying away from the corruption of the world ."

But Bitcoin can be a medium/means to serve the CREATOR just as HE is served from different Nations of the world. Serving HIM from where you live doesn't mean that place is a Religion.

When serving the CREATOR via different media, be careful not to get entangled in the bad knowledge and activities of the media. Do not love money. Loving it will make you do different kinds of evil to have more.
If you do right consistently without minding how much bitcoin you earn, Bitcoin will serve you once you are noticed. When it begins to serve you, it will obey/respond to your commands and work against things that try to hurt you.

[Tubicolous]

It is totally absurd to think of bitcoins as a religion. It is just virtual money built on blockchain technology that helps you to build wealth. There’s an ocean of differences like in a religion we pray to god. There’s no such thing related to bitcoins. Please refrain yourself from such mentality.

[Blawpaw]

Bitcoin is not a religion, but there are a lot of Bitcoin evangelists and crypto acolytes. I'm one of them.
Apart from science, Bitcoin is my religion and I'll do anything I can to pass the Bitcoin word along.
