The conservative religious organization has declared that Bitcoin, the most famous cryptocurrency and right now, also the most expensive one, is not corresponding with the principles of Muhammad’s teachings. This organization, quite surprisingly, resides not in the Middle East, where in some countries, the TV shows are dedicated to what suits Islam and what does not, but in the relatively secular Turkey.

I can very well say, "TO EACH HIS OWN". If these people are against Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies because of religion, so be it. You cannot force feed unto someone just because it works for you. You have to be considerate when relating matters to others as the latter may not find your judgment sound and reasonable. Religion dictates no reason, and it is something beyond science. Hence, there is no point in arguing about its teachings when neither religion nor your beliefs are proven. Let them be. They are entitled to their beliefs. Cheers!
The question is simple; does USD suit Islam or not? If USD suit islam so does BTC, and if not, then Muslims should stop using both of them. The only difference between USD and BTC is USD is physical while BTC is digital... I don't know why religions figures always want to interfere in something that they never understand and end up given their followers bad motivations and leave them stranded without any proper solution.
. How much the Turkish government paid for this "opinion"? Religious figures should do their job and deal with prayers and sould instead of messing with money.
