in my opinion everyone crazy about bitcoin just because they want an instant money without going out to everywhere, just sit infront your gadget and "click"

Instant money is not possible my dear friend by just clicking, you need to invest your time, energy and skills if you want to earn bitcoins. It is not as simple as you are thinking, and instant money its not possible unless you gamble and win Grin

there is always a delay converting btc into fiat and withdraw it from the exchange,clicks wont make money soo easy can make cents,only if the click is dice or gamblick soo can make like instant money getting in balance lol,but well not crazy people ,a vision showed us the way forward at the present time ,you can choose ,be in or be out.

Our Satoshi, who art in blockchain,
Encrypted be thy name
Thy transactions come
Thy will be done on ASICS
As it is on Github.
Give us this day our daily mining reward,
And forgive our zero-conf double-spends
As we forgive them that double-spend against us.
And lead us not into alt-chains
But deliver us from Ripple
For thine is the mining rig,
The hashing power, and the block reward,
For ever and ever
Amen.

most of religions has some mans behind it ,they started as a small group and then raised into a big and knowed religion, because we can touch bitcoin that make it a non religion ? really your point? some people believe in a old book called biblia written by someone .... they killed they hidden they made several things to protect or hide info about it.

Bitcoin is like culture ,there is a big information and dedication on it and some will protect it and wont let it die its revolutionary ,there are some followers of it already ,we community make bitcoin became a kind of religion ,even know that some use because low fees and huge potencial but still being a kind of religion that we ,nerds ,noobs,investors believe and follow all news about it call it vicious or religion

Why not what?
Why is not a religion or why most of the world still hasn't heard about Bitcoin?

Why is it not a religion?

Because religion is untouchable, it is just there and you choose to believe or not into it. Bitcoin is a technology, it is very real and I don't see it as spiritual at all.

Now if you think that biggest bitcoin believers are bitcoin religious, I don't know. They are maybe bitcoin fanatics, not bitcoin religious in my opinion.

The magic of the blockchain is almost spiritual. It's one of those technological paradigm shifts that feel sort of a religious experience for a nerd if you read the whitepaper and understand it. It's that awesome. Of course, it's just a mega clever mind (or a group) of people that came up to that conclusion and solved fundamental problems, but it's still insanely amazing, thats why a lot of people get hooked with this technology and can't stop researching.

i dont think that bitcoin is a religion as in religion you have to believe something even though no one can prove that its real or something like that, and bitcoin is real, no one can say that its fake so i guess its not religion

Religion is something we follow since we are born that's what our parents teach us. And following bitcoin as a religion is something far away. We don't believe that bitcoin is a religion it is just a currency which can be replaced by any other currency in the future. So it is useless to say that bitcoin is a religion.

Religion can be changed, acquired or removed from ones life at any point in time. You could be 1 or you could be 101, it doesn't matter. Beliefs change, and they do not have to be mutually exclusive. Many people believe in Christianity, but also believe in spirits and supernatural phenomena even though these are considered blasphemous by Christian doctrine.

It's not only a currency. It is the first time we have a verifiably immutable ledger, essentially a sequential timestamped database wherein history cannot be altered. In human history there has never been a database that could not have been altered by some means. Bitcoin is continuously evolving, and adapting.

No it is definitely not a religion. Members of this forum might have a religious like craze about their Internet toy but bitcoin is far from a religion.

For me, Bitcoin is still something new, something that still needs to grow and expand. Heck, most of the people didn't even hear about Bitcoin in this world.

All economies are religion. South Park taught us that.

South Park is actually brilliant cultural analysis. I don't know any other show that is pithy like that.

=== NODE IS OK! ==

Humans are based around suggestivity FAR MORE than most people realize - western knowledge of it comes from Freud and reflects in modern, disgusting advertising.

Of course Bitcoin is a religion. Everything is a religion.

You can also believe in your company, country, even spouse or kids but this is not connected with religion.
People can even believe in God without need for religion.
Religion is, by definition, institutional and includes church services, the priests, shared spiritual values etc.
We can believe in bitcoin but bitcoin will never replace the institutional faith and service to God.

Taoism nor Buddhism require those. Usually people do not spend hours posting on the internet about how awesome their company is, or claim it will save the world. Bitcoin actually even has its own eschatology, as well as principles of gnosis.

I notice a lot of posts here who content that it's not a religion, because Christianity is. Well, then you better go and discard all the other Abrahamic religions, as well as Shinto, Tao, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc.

Interesting question, really.
If you believe in something, have faith, whether it is automatically religion?
I don't think so.

not religion but you can see it as a niche market for nerds, still trapped in that enviroment, like some game genre, there may be a similarity with religion, if you take into account bitcoin fanatic and what not

but i would class it as a current of thought for the future
