I obviously take offence to the insinuation people have a different personal vod.  Sad

On topic - religion spreads by brainwashing.  Bitcoin has not been around long enough to be generational or a fable.

Considering how many Bitcoin believers (maximalists) there are, with their specific beliefs of how cryptocurrency should behave, it's becoming more evident that Bitcoin is a religion. After all, this popular movement of decentralized finance has impacted our lives one way or the other. The world has its eyes on the direction of Bitcoin as a digital currency which determines the path forward of Blockchain technology.

According to Google, the term "Religion" means the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods. This becomes true especially when many Bitcoin followers believe that Satoshi is some sort of "god". Hence, if Satoshi would reveal himself to the public, many people will follow him.

Nonetheless, what are your thoughts about this? Huh

I don't see Satoshi Nakamoto as a "GOD".

He is a genius, one or group of great minds that created a great technology that would be used for a very long time. It also opened a lot of doors for technology to improve. We may be an organization, a community with the same belief about Bitcoin but we don't worship it nor Satoshi Nakamoto so I don't think we can call Bitcoin a religion. You may call it a currency that connects people but it is not something that we worship, and BTW, if that will happen with Satoshi, I guess he will never ever introduce himself.
