I only know that there is a religion that is to buy crypto at a good price than open a telegram channel and engage people with technical analysis. The final step is for these guys to dump everything they buy at the targets they draw.


Bitcoin did not create religion but we ourselves have come up with other things around Bitcoin. I suppose everyone comes to the market to make money, some for passion. So when the right profit target is reached they will sell all their crypto.

I'm not mentioning that bitcoin is a new religion. I am a supporter of bitcoin, not to deify Satoshi, I am just amazed by the idea, I love the development and path of bitcoin

I don't think that believing in Bitcoin is the same as believing in religion. Many people who have Bitcoin in their hands claim that they believe in Bitcoin. But I believe that more than 90% of the people here simply use Bitcoin as an investment method. When people enter the crypto world, they have heard too many stories of getting rich overnight, so they expect such things to happen to them one day. But when they didn't get rich overnight, but went bankrupt, this belief disappeared. I think the true faith is to be able to endure loneliness. People will not be intimidated by some darkness, but can see the light of the future through the darkness in front of them.

I think Bitcoin users believe in profit more. They have calculations and logical arguments about the process of increasing the value of Bitcoin.
They fight for Bitcoin are also fighting for their interests. If one day Bitcoin is forced to stop, they will also leave to preserve their assets. The last time we saw Bitcoin drop in price mercilessly. Panic selling is still going terribly.
Bitcoin is finance, it is never religion. I know many people believe in Bitcoin and cut their losses to a very heavy extent.

From what I've seen, most of the Bitcoin maximalists use anything but math and logic. The Bitcoin researchers and developers do, but that's not the average audience of Bitcoin today Smiley

You've "miscalculated" the "average audience", but that can happen easily.
One tip: don't take the numbers by the noise, there will always be some noisier ones which will want to make you think they do represent the majority. And if maybe sometimes they do, it's a seldom case.
And another tip: most bitcoiners may not be maximalists.

I sometimes wonder whether Bitcoin has established a religion.
Those of us who are fixed holders of Bitcoin are believers of Bitcoin.
You have a very wild imagination mate  Grin

Imagine that even Bitcoin can be a God?  Grin and also Holders believes only in one thing But money/income so this will never be religious .

In this way, Satoshi , the creator of Bitcoin, can be called a god. He changed the order of the world and brought revolution.
Lol, God is the way where people can send their prayers and at some point being heard but Satoshi? doesn't even show himself since 10 years ago.

In this way,
we believe in bitcoin but not in a same way as we believed in our religion because the belief for our own religion is more stronger and more serious than in bitcoin .
we can sell our btc soon or when our mood change but we cant sell or replace our religion because that was a huge sin .

hello sir, I haven't thought about bitcoin is a religious war, I know bitcoin is a digital asset, where we fight in the price market, so it's possible that bitcoin is not related to any religion, so please don't link bitcoin with a particular religion because it's too sensitive

I would never agree that bitcoin is called a religion just because people believe in it. Public trust in bitcoin is only limited to the potential future of bitcoin and the developing innovation in the financial world. It is different from religion because basically bitcoin is a revolutionary currency which is different from fiat currency. I have to say that it doesn't deserve to be called a religion regardless of what belief you hold.

never equate Bitcoin or crypto like religion, it is incompatible and inappropriate.
Bitcoin is only a digital asset developed by the community itself and does not cover all aspects of this world.

The future digital assets that can change transactions are more revolutionary, but cannot be equated with a religion, it is very different.

Um coming from a newbie with 27 posts, seems not really worth arguing against. But what the hell, this is a fun topic. So you basically accuse Bitcoin enthusiasts and supporters of having their own "Cult of Satoshi" something that can be seen with the "Cult of Apple". Well for one, the financial sector is a bit different from consumer corporations churning out products for people to consume. Here there is a goal - Financial independence. Same as with the Stock Market, Treasury bonds, Forex, and also Gold investments. You can also accuse them of having their own religions too if that is the case. I would say, not really a cult. But rather a community of like minded people out to get the best Bitcoin can offer.
First of all, I am sorry that my activity is very low, and there is no merit at all. I will be more active in the future to increase my activity . I am a newbie who has just joined this community, and I am very glad that everyone can discuss under the question I am questioning.

Financial independence is also my goals. One of my purposes in this community is to find the latest news and opinions, find some new projects to invest in.

My thoughts on the religiousization of Bitcoin are simply because of consensus. It reminds me of Scientology lol,‘another form of religion’

most people think about bitcoin is how great it can make you good at financial, trust using facts. and when you said like religion, how about when someone is deceived by this stuff? and people never worship something like bitcoin

You could also argue its a cult.

When people start ranting that btc is the one and only true crypto, above all else, amen lol.

Just like religion, only the atheist is right and will go to heaven.

A religion makes me think of a cult where people worship something. We don't worship anything, we don't think bitcoin is better than us, our savior, a god.
This is what religion comes down to, a god!

Bitcoin is not my god just as fiat money is not my god.

Bitcoin is something i believe in, but you can also believe in yourself which doesn't make this into a religion. Get real man Cheesy

I disagree.
Unlike religion, bitcoiners base their "beliefs" on logic and math, not just because this or that guys say so. Imho it's a huge difference.

I'd argue that's far from the reality. From what I've seen, most of the Bitcoin maximalists use anything but math and logic. The Bitcoin researchers and developers do, but that's not the average audience of Bitcoin today Smiley

It's OK to support your Nation's founding fathers who selflessly gave their best for the good of the nation, and it's important to stick to the good principles/laws the Nation is built on rather than trying to eliminate or replace the Nation. .That's not religion... It's patriotism

By the way, , there is only one GOD, who is the CREATOR of this World and Heavens. Satoshi doesn't qualify as GOD, neither does supporting Bitcoin qualify as Religion. True Religion is serving the CREATOR of this World in constant purity/holiness.

Some questions, when you start wondering, you kind of have the answer to it yourself -- self-answering questions I call them (tm).

Belief in a greater power, belief in invisible people, belief in intangible benefits and unprovable futures, belief in malevolent forces bent on destroying the unifying object? Heck, I've been guilty of believing far more ridiculous notions than Bitcoin;)

Bitcoin is not a religion or a cult, however I can understand why some people may superficially think things like that as those that are the strongest holders vouch for bitcoin with a huge level of conviction, however this is because they understand what is up, 99% of the people have no idea how the economy works which is why they are still not invested in bitcoin, but for the rest that understand what it is going on they see in bitcoin one of the few ways to protect their wealth and they are not going to lay low when those people that know nothing about the economy say that bitcoin is a scam.

The two points you said are also the reason why I compare Bitcoin to religion. I think that a major core of religion is public knowledge. Bitcoin and religion have this, but one is through technology and the other is through mission.

Sorry, but then you can say about all scientists and all sciences that they are religions or they start a religion.

Imho it's a huge difference. In religion you hope that a "supreme being" will basically save your soul and maybe help you out here and there too. In sciences you base onto proven facts and logic and usually know what to expect (as opposed to just hope).

Of course, many go for Bitcoin only by hoping it'll make them rich no matter what and maybe that can be seen as religion. But that's for newcomers, not for long time holders. The long time holders did (imho) their homework and know what to expect, else they would be no longer holders (usually because they got scared at certain price fluctuations).

Logically, if bitcoin is accepted as a means of payment like money, will money be called the same as OP, and bitcoin is like any other investment or trade in the world, what distinguishes bitcoin is only believed and believed to be more profitable, and without involving other people and freedom because we alone control .
it has nothing to do with religion and specifically, religion is defined as the belief system adopted and the actions manifested by a group or society in interpreting and responding to what is felt and believed to be supernatural and holy.
everyone doesn't think bitcoin is a religion because they get involved in possession with the hope of making a profit and so on.
