Bitcoin isn't a religion.

[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.

Despite what they say about bitcoin, I still think of bitcoin as an investment asset and nothing more. Bitcoin is not a religion, I believe in its potential as a profitable investment asset due to price volatility and rightfully so.

Bitcoin is bitcoin, not a religion and people can easily believe in it more than anything else but should not think that bitcoin is a religion. A person may pray based on their own faith and religion for bitcoin to benefit them, but that still won't change bitcoin's position as an investment asset or currency into something like a religion.

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?

I see bitcoin only as an asset, it has nothing to do with trust, we must remember, we adopt bitcoin only for financial matters, for profit, for me personally like that.

maybe someone is too carried away about people who don't like bitcoin, we can't force someone to agree and like bitcoin, that's their personal right.
bitcoin is a valuable asset, which may one day be more valuable.
do not relate bitcoin with religious beliefs, because bitcoin is not a religious teaching, bitcoin is only an asset for the future, as is gold.

Do you really see Bitcoin as a religion?

I wouldn't say that bitcoin is a religion per se, what I would say is that I see bitcoin as a movement, a grassroots movement. For people who believe in Bitcoin maybe as a store of value, maybe as a hedge against inflation, maybe as a an asset, they are taking the message of Bitcoin all the philosophy of Bitcoin true everywhere and telling everyone that cares to listen about it because they believe in its utility and its potential for the future.

Agree, Bitcoin is not religion. This has been clear, no debate for me. Religion is religion, what I belief and becomes guidance for my life. Bitcoin is part of my life, but not the whole one. I love Bitcoin so much, but never believed in and never consider Bitcoin as a religion. Nonsense.

Despite what they say about bitcoin, I still think of bitcoin as an investment asset and nothing more. Bitcoin is not a religion, I believe in its potential as a profitable investment asset due to price volatility and rightfully so.

That's it. Bitcoin is only one of our assets to enrich us, save our money for the future, and probably make our lives better with good finance from Bitcoin. Bitcoin is also a payment method for paying in some merchants that accept this as a currency, no more than it, moreover if considering it as a religion. This really nonsense.

[Raflesia]

In this case there are indeed some people who even immediately admit that they have faith in bitcoin like their religion but for me personally I would not consider it a religion especially religion is one of the things that is sacred in my opinion so I can't make this a thing I received.
I like bitcoin, but I don't really believe in bitcoin that deeply, even though I have been able to support my small family and my daily needs thanks to bitcoin.

[Golfler]

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.

Our common religions are divine, and they are groups with strong consensus. Bitcoin may also be defined as a special belief after it changes our life structure after obtaining a strong consensus.

I don't know what analogy should I use to answer this, basically, Religion is a guide that introduces and regulates belief and worship of God, but when someone actually says Bitcoin is religion, then who is the god? Satoshis? this made a lot of mistakes, I am a person who also believes in Bitcoin in the future with a handful of hopes for profits that bring light to my life, but I do not worship it because indeed Bitcoin is a human product that is trusted for financial freedom and investment sets. apart from that context in my opinion nothing else. if someone really thinks Bitcoin is a religion I think that is their right and I will not comment on it.

The analogy doesn't have to be structural, who is the god or who is the worshiper. What is meant here is how one's attitude towards other people who have different views or knowledge about bitcoin. Because some people can be racist when they defend their religion and rather force others to believe.

No I do not, but bitcoin has a mission. The mission is the freedom of the financial world and it is accomplished by a widespread use of bitcoin. So yes in my eyes it is good to tell as much people as possible about bitcoin, since only that way it is usable.

The word "religion" is absurd when used to describe what is actually a "movement" that aims to replace the established financial system. Tradfi has failed us in many areas of the economy, if you compare what fiat has accomplished in the last 30 years to what bitcoin has accomplished in the last 10 years, you will want to choose bitcoin over fiat. People from all over the world have started to use Bitcoin, and its use is increasing daily, ever since they learned that it can protect them against inflation and serve as a means of investment. Despite the criticism we have received from those who don't like it, the spread is at its height.

I think what the OP means is that when things are believed more than it should be, it is now a religion. Most people believe that it is a crime not to hodl Bitcoin.
Some people believe that it is a crime to buy any other coins apart from bitcoin.
People should just see bitcoin for what is it and don't try to be extremist in bitcoin activities because bitcoin is not a religion.

Bitcoin is one of the best ways to make money by investing, an easy way to store large amounts of wealth together and safely, as well as a secure means of transacting any amount of money anywhere in the world, it has made our lives easier, that's all, but Bitcoin is no god.

[panganib999]

That is the biggest problem with bitcoin enthusiasts. They love bitcoin so much to the point of fanaticism where they look at bitcoin as if it can't do no wrong, like it's the shitcoin killer, or the solution to the imbalance of power we experience in our modern society. These problems no matter how idealistic your approach may be, isn't going to be solved by a single cryptocurrency that it itself is being controlled by whales and the flow of the market. Bitcoin is a revolutionary project, a coin with a future, a venture people can look into and invest in. It shouldn't go beyond that.

Religion has to do with believe and trust, Bitcoin is trustless which is why some bitcoin holders take bitcoin to be some form of asset that price can increase quickly making them to make huge profits and become rich in a short time, but some other bitcoin users have more knowledge so they can graph through the bitcoin chart to build indept knowledge, to note that bitcoin does not follow a predictable pattern of movement and based on that.

Their ability to prepare for whatever happens during the cost of their bitcoin holding and not rush to take action when bitcoin did not perform according to their expectations, as if there is some form of promise or trust in the Bitcoin network.

According to the Oxford e-dictionary, religion is the belief in and worship of a superhuman power or powers, especially a God or gods.
 As you can see from the revered reference, there is no where it can be said or noted that money or bitcoin is a religion.
Bitcoin and money is all about economy and finance there is no correlation between bitcoin and religion. Bitcoin is a store of value which means it can be used for the place of fiat as payment for services rendered or goods  as the case maybe. It is an investment plan to some while to some it is a means of trading and all narrows down to making profit.
Since I got knowledge of bitcoin, I am yet to see where it is said or written to worship bitcoin.

I think your review regarding the opinion above is not true.
Religion is a belief and belief that a person has to be able to devote themselves.
I think what is meant by the review above regarding someone's belief or belief in bitcoin is the same or similar to believing in a religion, not a person who does not hold bitcoin is a criminal or does not buy coins other than bitcoin is a crime.
So please always look carefully and understand the gist of someone's statement before you can give your opinion on that statement.

[Jody.Drummer]

Broadly speaking, I said that bitcoin is not a religion, yes, for me, there is nothing to debate about. From my point of view, a very significant difference between bitcoin and religion. In short, bitcoin is bitcoin and religion is religion. I will not make a problem when there are people who see bitcoin as their religion because maybe they see it from a different point of view, it is legal as long as no one is harmed in this case.
For me, religion is my spiritual about what I believe in, so this is something different from bitcoin.

Do you really see Bitcoin as a religion?

Religion is about one's belief in a creator. Belief in something certainly has a limit, such as my belief in Bitcoin will certainly not exceed belief in religion.
I read positively into this topic and don't interpret it to mean anything else, but it's better if discussions like this are avoided for fear that they can be skewed with various different interpretations.

In general, Bitcoin is just a cryptocurrency with many advantages. I think that's about it.

Some people may see Bitcoin as religion because it has devoted beliefs that revolutionize the current system of payment, such as, Free movement of money without any constrains of traditional money transfer system. It is a way to take control of your finance and move it the way you want without any restriction. it is also a digital Gold and store of value which is very secure and decentralized.

Literally, Bitcoin is not a religion in traditional sense but because of its characteristic, for some people it may look like religion.
