Topic: Bitcoin, the Religion?! - page 6. (Read 4362 times)
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.
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
Similarities are
any more?
- it's imaginary
- it has it's commandments (rules)
any more?
Lets say a Bitcoin church there is a lot of pros specially on the tax part, check out the irs guidelines for churches and religions http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p1828.pdf
Guys we could do this actually, there is guides all over the internet in how to be legally recognized has a religion, http://www.apath.org/creating_religion.html
We don't need this nonsense about being a religion. Makes us look and sound crazy and stupid. Bitcoin is political for sure but not religious and I don't want it to be.

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.

If you do any such thing I will look forward to buying ads in your area mocking and deriding you as fraudsters.

I don't see bitcoin as similar to a religion in any way at all. I will pray for us to go to the moon though if I'm told that'd work 
In all seriousness the only way bitcoin could even remotely be similar to bitcoin is that we're a group of people with faith in something that isn't proven yet?

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.
Cryptocurrencies is almost an "idealism", with the focus on changing the way money is used and "held" by people, but only because we believe in the potencial of cryptocurrencies it doesn't make it a religion.
Satoshi created Bitcoin, but who is Satoshi?
It's almost the same thing with Jesus.
At least its a religion without any lies and or half truths.....

no i don't think so, i can see it as a new instrument for toying, emotional attacking and defending, appear in every environment, it isn't something related to religion only(unless you want to classify everything as a religion), it appear especially in gaming
i think that bitcoin is more akin to the gaming industry then anything else

I definitely don't see this as a religion. A religion has a God, which was never been seen, and who lives on people's minds. A religion is based on things that cannot be seen, but only believed in. Bitcoin can definitely be seen and it's "truthness" can be proved with science and mathematics 
It's actually quite the opposite of a religion...
This is a bit more like a football/soccer club, or any other sports club We have "fans", people who spread news about their "team", we have "coaches", "players"...

We have "fans", people who spread news about their "team", we have "coaches", "players"... could shatoshi nakamoto be our the god for bitcoin? would the Scientology church be more of a place to talk about bitcoin?
I know i read somewhere if we get more then 10k people together we could form a church, maybe it could be done for the extreme fanatics.

I really don't wee what is magic or spiritual about any crypto. Perhaps this could be the next great gimmick in cryptos: Faithcoin, the coin in which you can BELIEVE lol.
At least its a religion without any lies and or half truths.....
Religion lol are you serious? OK I see the connection you are trying to make but I can;t see anything spiritual about bitcoins.
I don't really see the connection between religions and cryptos. Maybe if you only use the loosest definition of religion. OTOH we do have our messiah (Satoshi), but we seem to lack a codified centralized belief system. But we do have the OTHER - christians currently have gays, and we have banks, PP, CC, et. al.
Do you think that cryptocurrencies are religions?
Some users of cryptocurrencies may be religiously following their respective favorite.Following that logic, you could always declare any sport as a religion as well.
True religions are not easily defined, but typical characteristics include dogmatic belief in absolute truths.
I fail to see that in Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency.
So the answer is no.
