I would say it is more of a lifestyle rather than a religion. Most religions have some form of prayer and a building of worship, BTC does not have this. Unless there is something I am missing.

any more?

Have you read the article in the first post? It outlines quite a few.

I think it's not. Bitcoin is being created by human and everything can be proven + being calculated.
Religion is something based in trust. Can't be proven even with human calculation.

The value of any currency is based entirely in faith, like it or not.  Smiley

Bitcoin is far from a religion, but one still needs to trust that people will use it in the future, thats why we make more and hold, because we believe in it being a great upgrade from conventional money, the difference is this believing is based on fact instead of some metamagical fairytale.

Holding it for a while can prove to be a profitable decision in the future. As nobody knows what would be the scenario in a future. But as a part of Bitcoin Community we believe that it will grow in future and proved to be the best investment for the investors.

Exactly Even I believe it is not the Religion. It is just a currency and we need to be more practical before making investment in bitcoins and should be ready for any consequences that it has to offer in future and may be it is profit or losses.

Some devs treat their coin like a religion. They dev and dev and dev even on shitcoins that are going down the drain.
It should be considered a disease.

Or I think it is an Addiction of people towards bitcoin. They want to earn more and more bitcoins and in quick time so they trade, they even Gamble to double their bitcoins and end up loosing. So I believe we should consider bitcoin just as a currency and we are using if just for fun.

I argue that Cryptocurrencies function as distinct religious beliefs, which affect ego permeability by playing into our natural tendencies to perceive attributes of money and value as inherently magic and spiritual.

Great words but I think it is not the case. It is human tendency to try and win and be over the top of others. If you relate this to bitcoins, then I suppose you would have to relate it to every other businesses. Like stock market, oil trades, or anything that involves a market where the commodity prices are volatile.

I have no idea about this, it sounds ridiculous. I think people just love bitcoin so much, like world people loving the real money. We don't need to worship something that was created by humans. Don't make any new religion like O or Sciencetology.
You could make everything a religion. No surprise really. We had some idiotic and total random examples of bullshit religions in the past. If people are devoted to certain point they will worship flying spaghetti monster or jedi. I am sure that there will be some bitcoins fanatics too...

i would not say that, but is pretty close to that, at least for some ppl, you just need to read how they talk about it Tongue but most of the bitcoiners just believe in the success of BTC and this is not enought to compare it with religion.



Yeah we want to enjoy the success attached to bitcoins we don't want to get into any religious belief or believe that bitcoin is a religion or not. And it would be too early to say that. We are just investors and we have our religion too and which is more important than holding the bitcoins I guess. Bitcoin is a fun but a religion is not.

If you listen to all these Bitcoin Nicknames like BitCoinJesus etc. etc. you might think you are in church. There are loads of people, who worship money. If you worship "Bitcoin" with a secret creator, you are setting yourself up for disappointment. Do you think there are people worshiping their credit cards or their PayPal accounts?

It's just a great technology and a fun hobby, nothing more and nothing less. ^Lmao^

The religion is on mathematics and network. Natural science has become the new religion for human since 1800. No one can change the mathematics and physics rules, so the power of science is above human and got worshiped like god

Natural science is just phenomenons in the world. Math and network are just the method to study about that. Why do we need to worship them? I think human are smarter than that. Religion is something that can introduce you who God is, and make you feel better if you pray to Him when you facing a hard problem. I don't think natural science, mathematics, or network can do that.

I think it's quite similar to how console wars (PS vs XBox), or OS wars (Apple vs Microsoft), or comic book wars (Marvel vs DC) play out. People will defend anything they're attached to or they're fans of to the very end. Fun fact: The word "fan" is derived from fanatic. Smiley

I guess it is more like a cult where some of the people that want to get rid of banks are in charge, then you have the sheep that just wow at everything that's being said by the leaders.
It has its fair share of protestors too what with the "gavincoin".
Old testament/new testament?
