I'd say it has similarities as a religion. It has value because we believe it has value

Religious Belief Defined
The term "religious" as used in IRC 501(c)(3) is not subject to precise definition. The leading interpretation of the term was made by the Supreme Court in United States v. Seeger, 380 U.S. 163 (1965), in which the Court interpreted the phrase "religious training and belief" as used in the Universal Military Training and Service Act, 50 U.S.C. section 456 (j), in determining an individual’s eligibility for exemption from military service on religious grounds. The Court formulated the following definition: "A sincere and meaningful belief which occupies in the life of its possessor a place parallel to that filled by the God of those admittedly qualifying for the exemption comes within the statutory definition."
The Court elaborated upon the Seeger definition in Welsh v. United States, 398 U.S. 33 (1970), stating that "f an individual deeply and sincerely holds beliefs that are purely ethical or moral in source and content but that nevertheless impose upon him a duty of conscience to refrain from participating in any war at any time, those beliefs certainly occupy in the life of that individual a place parallel to that filled by... God in the lives of traditionally religious persons." Thus, religious beliefs include many beliefs (for example, Taoism, Buddhism, and Secular Humanism) that do not posit the existence of a Supreme Being in the conventional sense.

For someone, it's just a religion or even a drug, although it's almost the same. People pump up the price by their demand for it and do not even see the real things, but they believe in what will be even better still. So it's like religion.
As someone who is a Christian I can tell you 100% that bitcoin is NOT a religion
its just an investment tool or way to make payments
its just an investment tool or way to make payments

I don't consider it a religion,it's a new financial world order is a global sphere that completely minaet whole system familiar earlier,the age of automation,criptografice and digital technologies, and so on
For me absolutely not.
Since bitcoin is not for the religion why is it created .
Since bitcoin is not for the religion why is it created .
it seems to me that bitcoin is more a philosophy than a religion) it unites gambling and money-loving people
bitcoin is not a religion, we is a currency that can be used by us, so something can be used to do investment is not a religion.
I cannot refer Bitcoin to any religion. Even the greates fan of crypto consider it the best science.
I guess it could be a religion because religion is very subjective. Maybe it would be a religion for all of us if we actually invested when it all started and earned like 40 million... 
?
?
Correctly am I understand that if I say that I have religious beliefs this will not mean that I am committed to any religion? so, bitcoin is a religion? 
Bitcoin cult. Virgin offering to Satoshi Nakamoto.
Bitcoin is not religion, maybe some of us believe in Bitcoin will change our life or you can say can leads us to become success. I could say bitcoin is some digital money without central bank and not controllable by any bank or government. Probably bitcoin will change our mindset so many person become addicted to earn bitcoin so some of them say bitcoin has become our religion.
Some people believe in bitcoin as sincerely as they do in God. Therefore, we can say that the crypto currency is a religion.
I think nowadays there are many ways to turn idea/things to a religion or cult. At least bitcoin is not "legally" a religion.
Yes, for me its a religion.

Ofcourse not bitcoin is not a religion. Bitcoin and religion is a different thing. Bitcpon is for financial support while religion includes GoD. We cannot compair the two because they are very different things.
