Topic: Can Bitcoin be considered a Religion? - page 7. (Read 1593 times)
If bitcoin is a religion, then fiat money is also a religion. Fiat money is paper and you believe you can walk into a chop, give the owner the piece of paper you hold and you get something in return, this means you believe in fiat money too to get what you desire. Bitcoin is just an online money which people are happy using especially based on the fact that its beyond the control of government. People want it to become the number currency and thats is why we all want it to be adopted as soon as possible.
Bitcoin has nothing to do with religion. This is a product of new blockchein technology, a product of human invention. There is no deity and nothing supernatural here. How can you call Bitcoin religion? This is just stupid.
Exactly, religion and bitcoin are two different thing and should not be compared just because some people were believing in bitcoin.Well its not because they think btc can save them after life but because of the potential earnings they can get once the value skyrocket.
First of all, I do not believe or see bitcoin is a god or Satoshi is! and there is no point of believing that. and by the way, if you are following bitcoin as a religion then maybe you can not use altcoins as they will be considered different religions too. but for me, I like to play with many different and even many new altcoins in the market. for me, they are just a bunch of numbers which does not make sense and people let me exchange them for money.
Like they will worship their Almighty Satoshi?
yes that was right . they worship the good ol satoshi nakamoto and they worship bitcoin because we cannot deny that bitcoin was too useful and it provides people a source of income . all bitcoin users have a solid faith in bitcoin . we trust bitcoin no matter what happens to its price because this was the only way to feel confident despite the hardships that we have experience .
Worship something because it provides a source of income? I can't get any sense out of that dude. You don't worship your boss or the company where you work at. Or you don't worship any businesses that you've set up just because it enabled you to buy a car or ay for whatever lifestyle you're living. The connection is laughable at the very least.

Like they will worship their Almighty Satoshi? There is no way that a tech can be considered religion. Religion is based on spiritual beings. But a long time a ago, I encountered a thread on this forum that they are a religion surrounding bitcoin but I know that it is a entire scam when on the details that they will need all the members to donate satoshis on them.
I think not. bitcoin and religion are very different concepts. Rather, on the contrary, the less religious a society is, the more developed and supportive it is to cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is a science, and religion is a drag on it.
There are no GODs between Bitcoin or any other Cryptocurrency so why should it be considered Religion lmao?
Religion is when there are gods in between and where u pray for them.... And you are just not praying for Bitcoin, you are waiting for something to happen just like Price being pumped or not.

While many idolize and believe in the creator of Bitcoin's ideas and goals, this does not necessarily make him/her a "god-like" figure, or give him/her the ability to organize a religion around the BTC community.
Yes, the definition of religion loosely encompasses the characteristic's of Bitcoin's followers. However, if you want to tackle this question legitimately, it is more important to ask what is required for a religion to actually become a religion.
These things include:
- Distinct legal existence
-Recognized creed and form of worship
-Formal code of doctrine and discipline
-Literature of its own
-Established places of worship
So, is Bitcoin a religion? No. But who knows, maybe one day it can become one

no its a big no there is no god in bitcoin these person is only a normal people who created bitcoin ,and its seems that there are no worship here so dont say that these are under religion.
Well let me give you a different scenario. For the sake of an example let's assume that you are one of the Los Angeles Lakers' fans and all of you "believe" in your team that they will be champions once again will that make your Lakers team a religion to yourself? Of course not even if you believe and worship your team it doesn't make them your religion it doesn't give you the belif that something up above is higher from us, and it doesn't make us believe that something is right or wrong on how the world needs to work. Believing on a material thing is entirely different on believing in faith.
Nonetheless, what are your thoughts about this? 
Have you visited this " Politics & Society " section?
See:
Why do Atheists Hate Religion?
Why so many people say "Muslims are terrorists" Should we say that?
religion is the kind of subject that never ends well... so do not push bitcoin into the religious world. We are very well, far from any religion.
In my opinion, this is not a very good comparison. There is nothing in common between bitcoin and religion. Religious leaders may even even rebel for such a comparison, and they will be completely right. To compare an obvious product of human activity, its technical invention with religion, is completely inappropriate.
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.

In a way, Bitcoin has a set of laws in which it works. It abides by the blockchain and a general consensus for transactions. The cryptocurrency also has a tremendous community which supports it and is constantly being improved within the ecosystem. When you think about all of the developers, investors, miners, and entrepreneurs that utilize Bitcoin in their daily business, and the fact that it is decentralized, Bitcoin can and probably will be considered a "religion" by some people.
A religion is someone who has a supernatural power that can change everything according to their rules/law and not with a digital currency which is made by a mere human. I think people got it the wrong way of worshipping a digital currency or a human which is not totally perfect.
Bitcoin is just a new term for money in this new era of technology. If people tend to worship Bitcoin, how about those people in the old age? Are they worshipping the golds and silver too?
LOL, If people worship Bitcoin why don't they worship money first? Money has a lot of use than Bitcoin in the real world and you can also buy Bitcoin using fiat money if that makes sense.

Well said, that is absolutely correct, Bitcoin has no connection with or something related to religion and if religion is all about money the world will surely be in chaos right now. And if people will worship Bitcoin why don't they worship the one who created the internet first? without the internet, there will be no Bitcoin trading or any transactions be made if you know what I mean. 
Not a religion, maybe a cult, as a religion should include the worship of a god, a mystical force, a supreme creator, not just a man like Satoshi Nakamoto. Even in old Persia, king Xerxes, the god-king, wasn't the central personality of the local religion.
Even the god-king was subordinate to something bigger and more complex.

When Satoshi put forth the innovation he was clear that there is no discrimination in its usage. Every level of people needs to use it, and the same is being made possible throughout. If bitcoin is considered a religion there will be some discrepancies and with that people will stop using bitcoin. Upon the same it should never be relative to any religion or should be considered a religion.
A religion is a believe that others have about a specific spiritual being. Bitcoin cannot be considered as a religion but rather a currency. Even if people believe in it and are ready to die for it, it is not a religion.
Of course not. What kind of nonsense? What is religion? Bitcoin is the coin leader who is the oldest and best among the cryptocurrency coins. This is all economics and not religion, do not confuse.
