No, he is wrong. Bitcoin is not Islamic. Bitcoin does not have a physical materialize that can be used as collateral, which is clearly inverse to one of the requirements for currency in Islam. The physical form is very important as a guarantee for the owner, even if it's just a little wood piece.
While who really cares about religion when it comes to money, when you made billions you will be accepted no matter what religion you belong so as a commoner we need to realise the religions are created by us to progress humans not to keep them under control.
Religion has rules for all of life, including currency, so religion must be involved. Read your holy book.
When things get entangled with religion or politics, it become messy.
Give me some examples (with religion).
I hope to separate financial system with religion and politics. Let Bitcoin be Bitcoin and do its natural function. It was created not because of any religion but because it wanted to solve financial problem specifically transaction when dealing with financial institution. As far as I know, it wasn't created because of any religious principle.
No, you are wrong. In fact, it's religion that teaches us about the principles of life, including finance.
I also think that his statement "Bitocin is Islamic" is wrong.
He "Bruce Fenton" said "Bitcoin is Islamic" just because he saw investment from the Middle East.
Not that it makes Bitcoin Islamic and accepted by all adherents of the Islamic faith.
There are still many pros and cons regarding Bitcoin, especially in the Islamic religion.
I think what he said was just his opinion, although I think it's not quite right because he is not a person with the capacity to say "Bitcoin is Islamic".
But everyone is free to have an opinion as long as it doesn't hurt.
Despite all the debates that exist about Bitcoin.
Every individual is responsible for themselves towards the religion and god they believe in.
