However, this understanding will only apply in developed countries, because technology and development are easier to develop there, while in developing countries they tend to think differently, where only a small number of people are involved in technological developments, Cryptocurrency in particular has been so developed for now, where many people have been involved in it, this is a challenge in doing something new, it is not impossible in the future crypto will expand to other things related to human life
I also already think that in the future rypto will expand to other things in human life and those who still don't understand about how crypto will try to learn it gradually. The situation of each country today is indeed different and cannot be equated so that any development must be different. Including technological developments, economics and also those related to cryptocurrencies in general.

This is good for the crypto community. Ecclesiastes 10:10 says "If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct". I sometimes feel that christians are supposed to be the richest in the world but I discovered that they Put in more faith than strength, more faith than wisdom. So if they have the zeel to learn crypto and wisdom to direct them, kingdom wealth is indeed on the way.

From various reasons, both pros and cons, digital currency has been so developed among people, this also shows that the process of advancing a technology is not only limited to old things, and there are many other cases related to the advantages and use of digital money as easy transaction tool
Many things have become easy for everyone to do through digital currency now. That is why many people have started to like cryptocurrencies because it is easy to make transactions through cryptocurrencies with various networks that are already available. So Blockchain technology and also those related to cryptocurrencies will continue to develop because it is considered to make it easier for each user to complete certain jobs.

Everything that shows support or education about crypto will always be a PLUS FACTOR , though I dont like the concept as Church must be separated from other social things but this will add flavor to the currency increasing .

But If I am to be one of the church member , I think would feel irritated because what I wanna hear in church is something about religion and not about future currency or profiteering .

Does this look like  a plus to the crypto community?   
yeah, sure I think it is a good thing but I just hope they don't get the idea that just because they invested in a cryptocurrency that they'll earn money. I also hope that this crypto training that their church is doing is not just a one-time thing.

Wow, folks need to be careful with this as it could be another way of losing your coin, seen it happen to folks losing all their fiat.  It could be a good strategy for a church to put their surplus in, which isn't to be 'touched', and watch it grow over the years, but again, parishioners be wary.

Cryptocurrency as a digit asset based currency is on a  daily gradually gaining the widespread acceptance as expected, looking at 2010 compared to this day 2022 the awareness and engagement has been tremendous and it's quite a welcome development despite the ban placed on it by few governments.

I came across a video that has made social media talking which shows how a crypto class was conducted by a church for it's members to be educated about the knowledge of cryptocurrency.

According to the source:
The video was captioned, "Crypto training. Proverbs 14:23In all toil there is profit, but mere talk tends only to poverty.'' According to the netizen who shared the clip, the pastor got a professional to train congregants on crypto. While boasting that such an opportunity can't be got anywhere, the netizen expressed joy that 'kingdom wealth is on the way.' In the clip, a projector is seen displaying a crypto trading chart while people listened.

Does this look like  a plus to the crypto community?   
This is a sign that Cryptocurrencies are increasingly in demand by many people, in the previous year until now, asset-based currencies have developed quite rapidly, even some of them can be made transactions like using fiat money that ever existed.

From various reasons, both pros and cons, digital currency has been so developed among people, this also shows that the process of advancing a technology is not only limited to old things, and there are many other cases related to the advantages and use of digital money as easy transaction tool

It might seem silly, but this is what striked my mind. Possibly to receive offerings in the form of cryptocurrency the pastor of the church could've taken the initiative. So, that there is no issues with taxation and other problems. Apart this isn't the duty of the pastor. Nowadays everything is about money, they teach and preach for money and very few are truly spiritual. Anyhow in one way this seems good.

we don't know their motives, but we always welcome any means of adoption in crypto. if nothing else, it can drive adoption and interest by his constituents. it may possibly help some of his people, we don't know what good things will come about. but more then likely, some of these people will try to look at crypto market.

Yes, and this is what my crossed my mind as well, maybe in the future, we will hear and see priest or anything that is related to religion that they can donate thru crypto so I wouldn't be surprised. But this could be a debate as well, I mean we have seen religion being involved now in acquisition of wealth? Does it go against the basic teachings of let's say Christianity? or well, in any case if Church goer as going to buy or become a investor of crypto specially bitcoin then why not?

If Bitcoin has opportunities and benefits that can impact the lives of members of the church positively, then it is not a bad idea. After all churches carryout diverse forms of entrepreneurship and other kinds of training to ensure that members gain the right skills that would enable them increase their income. But members must be given the right knowledge about Bitcoin. They should be able to differentiate between Bitcoin and other shitcoins. Also the risk involved in dealing with Bitcoin should also be discussed and it shouldn't be perceived as a get-rich-quick scheme.

If you don’t do PGP, you don’t do crypto!

Basically the cryptocurrency don't have to do with religion.

As the self-appointed high priest of the god of Bitcoin, I must object:  Bitcult.Faith

We all know that Church can not invest in cryptocurrency for the sake of getting money.

Why not?  Are you aware of the wealth that churches have, and of the investments they make in other asset classes?

The pretense here that money has nothing to do with religion has encouraged me to update my cult’s tithing address.  For too long have I lived as if under genuine vows of poverty!  Hark, a vision:  The god of Bitcoin wants me to have some more of those bitcoins.  To fulfill this divine commandment, you must tithe only 10% of your income.

Money is, after all, one of the major purposes of religion.  Religion is the best business on Earth!  Perhaps I have sinned as a businessman, by never having sufficient greed.  But I do understand religion.  How should I best please divinity in a religion about money?  Should I preach about money, but not practice it?  Forsooth, an it be so, the god of Bitcoin may condemn me as a hypocrite!

I said it in 2017:

Most importantly, as a cult leader, I have the prerogative of taking advantage of my adoring followers financially (and the attractive female followers in other ways).

All hail the god of Bitcoin.


I would be open to agreeing with their intentions only if I don't know that these churches are also filled with corruption to their core. There is a local church here in the Philippines that is aggressively asking for tithes every month, like 10% of their salary. They made beautiful churches and did impressive projects, but to see that their leaders and figureheads are rolling with luxury cars and can afford houses worth millions, while their followers are living in poverty is something that offed me a lot. Also, religious teachings often always ask their followers to live frugally and just be a good person, but apparently the figureheads are exempted from this rule Cheesy

Good idea. Cheesy

For the record, I drafted the above about a 10% tithe on 2 August, when I updated my cult’s page—before you wrote this.  10% is a traditional tithe.

It's good that they're trying to learn crypto, but IMO, religious sects should not engage in financial matters that much, and let other people handle it for them to keep their dignity and to follow their teachings like what they have on their books.

I couldn’t imagine my church having any sort of connection to Bitcoin. That’s a very odd pairing to me. I could maybe see them accepting Bitcoin donations but discussing it in church seems a bit much. If people are interested though and the knowledge is there, seems like sharing it is a good idea. I’d just hate to see this take people down a path where churches are pumping altcoins to try and bring in additional funds.

Bitcoin is open-source secure technology that functions as a decentralized currency on the internet for millions of people for over a decade. This is more about decentralization than encryption. Some forms of crypto use their encryption to conceal centralization as in scamcoins right? Let's face it, a working virtual currency is a very big deal for our internet age. Not just anyone could do it. Maybe the church has something to do with it? It is easier to put a camel through the eye of a needle, than to create an actually decentralized working currency for an information super highway Wink

the pastor got a professional to train congregants on crypto. While boasting that such an opportunity can't be got anywhere

There are things needed to be clarified in other to avoid a second thought from people, i think using the word church here looks odd to me from your topic saying "crypto in church" i think this is wrong, first the reason been that you could have stated that a clergy man organises a crypto class, because saying crypto is being taught in church is wrong and i totally disaggree with that because it can compromise the standard and purpose of what the church stands for, another reason why i will stand against your topic is because you're making two wrong steps, first is posting about crypto on bitcoin discussion board, you could have use the word bitcoin or secondly make your post on altcoins discussion,  and talking about cryptos in general is a pool of shitcoins except for bitcoin.

I don't know how you arrived at all these you said. But I can say that you are the one thatvis wrong here and not the op.
Crypto is a new form of money and investment, how does it contradict anything if it's been taught in church. The church collects tithe and if I insist that I will pay my tithe with crypto, I know the church will give me an address.
If church organises seminars for other things  crypto shouldn't be a different.

When one use the word cryptocurrency doesn't mean it belongs to altcoins. Whether I use bitcoin or cryptocurrency, we all understand. The king is not in battle with anyone, he is bitcoin and he is the king of cryptocurrency and so he is also cryptocurrency.

I want ask what is the essence of title the caution of this crypto in church. Basically the cryptocurrency don't have to do with religion. Is it that you are advertising the pathways of cryptocurrency through religion? I want to really know the narrative of this text way of impacting knowledge or educating offspring who yet to adventure into cryptocurrency. We all know that Church can not invest in cryptocurrency for the sake of getting money.
what is certain is that you are right mate, that there is no correlation between the church and crypto, because it is clear that the church is limited by rules that do not allow any investment, including crypto.
because the church was raised with the help of offerings from its congregation, so that the church does not need crypto, the church has been able to meet itself from the help of the congregation who always pays attention to all their needs.

If this is all about bitcoin, a more than a welcome idea, people will get to know bitcoin even if they don't have the means to buy it now, the awareness will expose people to know that there is an alternative to their fiat money and nobody can restrict them when they want to use it but my problem with this kind of gathering is that they wouldn't tell them the necessary things they need to hear. I will be more than happy if they will tell them how their privacy is preserved to at least a bearest minimum, but you may be disappointed that among them, someone is there that prefers a PIE shitcoin to bitcoin because of what they read online.
