Bitcoin here in our country is not so popular.but I know time will come bitcoin will be known well.If giving donation for a church why not if the bitcoin is known of all people.all transaction made by bitcoin why not I think this can be possible now we are in new generation using high.technologies
Most religions in our country disagree with the adoption of cryptocurrency and Bitcoin.
Why? bitcoin does have monetary value and as said it can be exchanged to any currency in the future but actually you can do it today. And that's with the use of many exchanges, globally and locally.Can you name those religions that disagree the adoption of bitcoin? I don't think that there's something related to religion and bitcoin and I'm very curious to know why they disagree with that if they can also benefit by receiving donations through it.
Maybe, they are still hesitant to accept bitcoin because they don't know how to deal with it yet. If people are not knowledgeable on how to do business with bitcoin or any other crypto, then they would be hesitant to accept it. But I believe if you teach them the basics around it, the benefits and advantages, high chance that they will gladly accept it. Most people are hesitant with something owed to their ignorance of the matter on hand.
In my country, bitcoin is only legitimized as a digital investment commodity, no more than that, so that both business and religious activities have not been able to receive bitcoin well, bitcoin is only understood by a small number of citizens here, and even in a small amount of investment, especially for bitcoin religious activities and crypto currencies are still considered taboo and the majority of the population still thinks that bitcoin is something negative.

Well, I have not come across it yet probably because btc is not legalised yet in my country or because btc use hasn't been so popular here. Well, I doubt my denomination will accept it anytime soon unless of course, the whole country plunges into crypto use
Switzerland is one of the crypto loving countries that i know of. It's government has allowed the development of many crypto institutions and projects in its countries. I know of so many ICOs that have been launched in this country and have seen great success. I am not really surprised that its religious bodies have also allowed members to start paying their offerings in cryptocurrencies.
Do we really need to donate much on churches? they have the money now as i can see there are so many big time churches.
Their churches is really beautiful and has a lot of money to spend.
why dont we focus on less fortunate people like people on streets?
Though on the issue, cryptocurrency is not adopted yet in many countries, if it is! they are not well adopted yet!

Wow, this is awesome! I never thought of this actually in the global adoption of cryptocurrencies. That a church would decide to accept offerings in cryptocurrencies. Too bad i can't convince my folks over here to accept cryptocurrencies as offerings. They would even think i am coming to scam them or something.
Churches can accept Bitcoins in a form of donations to enable givers that do not want to disclose their identity to contribute to the kingdom of God. I think most churches can display their Bitcoin address in a form of bar code at entrance so that not only donation but offertory can be made in a form of Bitcoins too.
Have you encountered a denomination near your area accepting bitcoin or cryptocurrency? Would you share the same idea to the denomination or faith you are a part of?
No, I'm not aware of any church in our area that accepts crypto as donation. To be frank, I was surprised to see the link that you posted. Anyways, I'm not against it, it's in Zurich, and I'm under the impression that crypto is readily accepted in that place that's why churches open it's arm and just decided to accept it, so no harm done.
Am yet to see any of the church around me and good to know that some church in your area are now accepting crypto currency particularly Bitcoin. The main reason why church are yet to adopt crypto currency is not far from the knowledge about Bitcoin and crypto currency in general as many of the head of church do not have knowledge of crypto currency. I see that if the adoption of crypto currency is massive in the business domain then the church will follow suit.
I hate churches and religion so fuck them
it is difficult to understand how churches work, today there are many churches that say they perform miracles and promise many things they never do. In fact, churches have become a way for a certain group of people to earn a lot of money
why don't they pray to god to give them the money?
You have to ask this in the church.
honestly, it will be good for bitcoin to keep away from churches
one good thing about donation through a transparent currency like bitcoin with a publicly available ledger is that your donations can be tracked by you so you could see how and where the place accepting your donation (in this case the church) is spending the money received.
in fact there has been transparent charities accepting bitcoin mainly because they could show everyone easily where the money is going.

Okay so what exactly is that church? Is that another church that's using the name of God for business? In the OP, you said about donations right? Is donation the right term for this if you are dictating what people donates you?
Don't be fast to criticize any church that's accepting donation from cryptocurrency, churches are built by humans and to be maintain by humans, what's wrong by accepting donation from members or philanthropies? God said, bring ye all thy fruits including money(fiat,cryptocurrency etc), and giving freely to the development of the church. The priest has the right to seek what members should donate to the church.

While I am searching for churches that readily accept bitcoin for donations, I realized that there are now some who seem to see the potential use of cryptocurrency in their financial operation (religious groups do need money as just like any other organizations).
"Father Rosado believes that St. John’s the Evangelist is the first Catholic Church to accept bitcoins and he thinks virtual currency donations can be much more useful than those in fiat currencies. 'In theory, in the future, you could exchange bitcoins for any currency. It would be faster to move money around,' said Father Rosado."
"An evangelical church in Zurich will begin accepting offerings in the cryptocurrency bitcoin. “Digital currencies and the blockchain technology will change our daily lives more and more in the next years,” Nicolas Legler, spokesperson for Zurich's ICF Church, told Swiss media."

first time i hear about this , find it abit wierd that a church accepts donations i bitcoins when most stores and what have you dont do.
I hate churches and religion so fuck them, why don't they pray to god to give them the money? It would also not be a very effective method considering most religious people are old 40+ and they aren't necessarily very good when it comes to computers and the new technology, the idea is not bad though since you don't really need to do it fast so even if the transaction takes a long time it's totally ok.
I’m surprised to know that some Churches are accepting bitcoin I really think they would not consider bitcoin like the government, well I guess even priest were able to see the good side of bitcoin, it would be very convenient because they can move around with it and just exchange it to the accepted currency. However, not all countries are into bitcoin until now so they can only use it in a country where merchants accepts bitcoin.
I only see this progression on countries in which bitcoin development is very evident, but for places in which there is still little to no education for the said cryptocurrency, I don't think charitable institutions and churches would be going the route of digital currencies knowing that most of them are in need of fast cash in order to buy things for their cause, and most are kinda iffy on the idea of digital money. Christians do have something regarding a cashless society as somewhat a sign for the end of times. It's quite ironic that churches nowadays are accepting most donations through bank transfers (which is somewhat cashless) and becomes a business for most pastors, men of church etc.
