My concern is that I hope that the Pastor did not try to sell crypto currency to his members as a get-rich-quick scheme. I also hope the so-called crypto professional is actually a professional who is teaching them first about bitcoin and then the dangers of investing in shitcoins.

Yes, I think this is a plus for the crypto community. The awareness would go a long way in ensuring both a proper understanding of the crypto ecosystem, it's adoption and what's coming. I must confess that I like what I have been reading lately from folks teaching school kids, to folks teaching their colleagues at work and now a church? This is awesome.

LOL! This is funny! But, yeah, it must be a plus. Any effort which seeks to inform others about Bitcoin must be a plus to the community, although I have reservations on how religion is being used here for purposes which are apparently outside the realm of spirituality or morals.

If this is being conducted within a service or an official ceremony, I think this is misplaced. And to promote Bitcoin with a passage from the Bible is something that I personally don't find right. God probably doesn't care about Bitcoin. This is purely man's business.

This may look like weird to me but whatever since this will expand the adoption of Bitcoin once people know how to use crypto currency such as Bitcoin. Although, I'm having a doubt about the people who teach about crypto inside the church or maybe they don't just have a room to start on how to spread awareness about the crypto.

It looks like the Church is well aware about the need of cryptocurrency and the possible ways through which one can profit. It have realised the fact, if people can profit then automatically the church can benefit out of the cryptocurrency adoption. Religious institution participation into the awareness program is simply a positive approach on bitcoin usage.

I hope there's no secret agenda in this when teaching those people because usually when there's something like money involve everything will change in the end.

Well it is good news and we are looking for news like this daily.
This is not new in my own opinion because I have heard this before when the church accepts bitcoin for donation and now they are educating those young children about bitcoin which is a perfect way to educate them regarding the financial system and how it will work if this is in a decentralized way and that is bitcoin. We hope that other churches will do the same but I think it is good if the churches not only focus on bible history, it should be also on financial matters or a livelihood program.

I mean it would be a plus, yes but it is kinda bizarre to have crypto which is mostly technical a part of agenda in a church. Almost in those times, I usually expect songs to be played and having crypto being talked about so sudden is kind of....... sudden.
Regardless I respect that crypto is getting attention to any groups out there even religious ones. I don't see any point making news about it, since surely in other groups have been already doing the same (e.g. workplace).

Churches have a great deal of influence over their constituents to the point that they blindly follow their leaders despite morality and logic is not aligned with our values. But the fact that this church advocates the use of cryptocurrencies is quite alarming since as far I know, they tend to teach about living a simple life.

Though that May be the case, this definitely news that I did not expect; something that peopleabd churches should also follow.

That's odd for me, it shouldn't be the church conducting that training. But, if that's the pastor's thinking, I guess he's into money and basically should prioritize other things than it like the gospel itself and just leave works like this to those professionals and enthusiasts that likes to conducts meeting and seminars related to crypto or, maybe he's also an enthusiast but that's off of his scope as a pastor. And with technology like blockchain and bitcoin, it can really be in lined with a lot of bible verses.

It seems the pastor of that church has forgotten the 1st commandment and Jesus reaction to Money Changers in the Church.
Reference source : King James Bible

If churches conduct.....
Business Seminars
Marriage Seminars
Career Seminars etc. for their members, I personally think a crypto Seminar is not out of place, but then, the motive should be clear and well aligned with the word of God, where problem will arise is if the pastor in question starts using this as a business for himself, that is if he leaves what he is called to preach and start referring his congregants to different crypto investments platforms in a bid to make money through referral bonuses.

So at the end of the day he can ask donations in cryptocurrency Cheesy

. I am not against learning about new things but the reason why people follow religion is to have peace of mind and majority are there to exploit that and then seek their donations and have a luxury life on their own. So i hate all those money mongering religious people who are after money exploiting the weakness of innocent people Wink

.

^ Lol.
This is possible that as we know most churches now asking for donations even online process.
Educating people is not bad at all and I think the intention of the pastor was good for their youth but the problem is if they exploit this by for asking money in the name of their church through cryptocurrency which is not good for me. However, this will bring a positive impact on the BTC community, it belongs to the increasing adoption because the awareness has been spread. Educating people is not bad at all and we hope in a right way not misleading them into many scam projects.

The case is still individual and cannot be generalized.
I prefer people to follow their investment advice based on their own convictions and not because of religious saying that may acquire false sanctity.
In general, if these individuals learn to use Bitcoin wisely, it may change the lives of some people or help improve them.

No God or Kings, only BITCOIN.

Now if the church use it, they'll be no tax exemption on their side, eh? Apart from that I think other conservative churches/religion wouldn't let their ideas be mixed with the evolution of man made technologies especially a lot of part in the Asian continent.

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.''

of course it helps, anywhere bitcoin or crypto in general is being talked about in a positive way to an audience or a group of people, it helps spreading awareness about it and more people are likely to join the wave of crypto, Church is kind of a weird place to do it, but if it positively affect it then why not.

I don't like the idea of mixing religion with anything at all - politics, finance, educations, science. I can easily imagine a pastor shilling for some ICO or shitcoin for their personal profit. Maybe it even already happened. Religious leaders shouldn't tell people how to live every aspect of their lives, its a recipe for disaster and a large number of wars and conflicts in the world stem from this to this day.

Well This is a definite plus in crypto community. It's nice to see some churches is spreading words about cryptocurrency. I'm sure that non-crypto users who read the article why the church is being involved in crypto. Surely their curiosity will be triggered and there's a high chance that they themselves will be involved in cryptocurrency by doing research and knowing how it works.

I've remembered some parody coins about religion before, As far as I remember it was called hesucrypto, It's obviously a shitcoin but it got a lot of noise in social media. It was such a fun that someone created that kind of parody coin.

I like it very much that religion is finally starting to look clear into cryptocurrencies.I heard some speeches from the pastor here when I used to go to church every Sunday (just for facade because where I live in the neighbor are good Christians,I am a gambler) where he clearly accused people mining cryptocurrencies that are interfering in our normal lives as they don't like to work but are mining at a large scale so they can quit their job.It is the same stance that unfortunately continues here as I hear the Sunday speech in TV now.

So it is a really great move forward which of course is good in general seeing churches starting to embrace cryptocurrencies.

This is honestly weird since they are projecting crypto and wealth together, i do know that some people do follow the church by heart and thus they would try and buy the crypto without any further knowledge but it's great to see that the church did something and educated the people about it first but I do think that it's weird when you mix the words of God according to them and also cryptocurrencies as well, this might be wrongly interpreted by some people since they can generally take it as " a gift from God". " God is punishing us - when the price is down" things like that, it's best to understand that you do make these decisions yourself and thus should get more knowledge on cryptos more or so Church at least tried to do something.

Well, church teaching their followers how to make more money, so they could give back to the church. Holy Spirit NFT anyone? Cheesy

Jokes aside, I aplaud any education, nit just crypto but economic and monetary in general. So that's what Adam Smith was refering to when he was talking about the invisible hand of the market XD
