Topic: Is crypto a cult? - page 3. (Read 517 times)
No, if one believes in a potential of somethhing it doesn't mean that that person is religious. If judging so - every person who values money and obsessed with earning it is religious.
For someone obviously it is. I do not understand those people, but they probably have their own philosophy about crypto. Well, there are crazy people in every side of our life I guess 
What attracted you to an ICO?
What attacted me...was the passage an ICO offers across the river sticks of venture capital. What attracted me, was an informed disdain for traditional fiat currency, it's paper stained with the greasy finger prints of your banks and your mints. What attacted me was cryptocurrencies fundamental anonymity that sheilds private transactions from the peering green eyes of the all knowing governmental overlords. Does that answer your Question? hahahahaha

You might be in the wrong thread.
Edit: I just Googled what you wrote to see if it was copied and pasted, and it's from the actor of this video it seems. So I guess it was a related joke.
That is crazy to say that crypto is a cult. We are here because of the technology and innovation happening in the world. We are getting on board on this and cope with the newest discovery blockchain. Religions and cult is a different genre so i think we have our own opinion to tell that.
Most crypto is difficult to associate with cult. People trust it and invest in it based on their future, but a few crypto may have signs that they ban all opponents, concentrate power, and exclude other coins.
It's not exactly a cult but it causes cult like behaviour. It draws you in with promises of riches, gets you hooked into the numbers and different types of coins, and then you realise you're at the mercy of the whales (cult leaders!)
that's more of gambling behavior than behavior of a cult. In order for it to be considered cult, it has to have a leader and same philosphy which it doesn't since everyone is interested in crypto for different reason. perhaps certain coin can be considered cult in their own way but probably not since they don't fit the definition.
that video was funny nonetheless and I don't think it was meant to be taken so seriously
No, of course it's not a cult, but for some people it can become really addictive. I know people that spend most of their time studying crypto, and crypto is all they talk about.

Not more of a cult than say being hardcore pro a sports team or player, a brand like Apple or Google, and many, many, many other things.
Haha that's a crazy way to put it, you can't say its a religion. You should know better what religion is?? Crypto is no cult nor religion.
It is very sad if humans make crypto as a religion maybe because of the rapid technological developments make people neglect to remember their god and what they think is just a job and lulled by what they are looking for 
I am very interested in this topic, and say this should be a warning to people who adhere to a belief. legal aspects that must be studied for every believer. Bitcoin and other assets are often associated with illuminations I have ever read but I never knew the truth.
hopefully there is a discussion here.

Take a look at the thread that was in denial that Microsoft removed Bitcoin payments on their site.
"Well you can still pay with Bitcoin"
"Uh no you can't. Here is a screenshot of the payment window right now on my account, the Pay with Bitcoin option is gone"
"But you can still convert Bitcoin to fiat and just pay with that, so you can still use Bitcoin!"

Do you know that is an actor from popular TV show Silicon Valley? And this is a part of the episode. I know is hard for you all this to gasp.
Damn, so many stupid comments before yours... it's a real problem that most newbies here do not follow the few clear rules in crypto. Like DYOR, or don't risk what you can't afford to lose.
That's the reason why the really extraordinary crypto pump is delaying so much.
(and no, I don't give a fuck if you're legendary or whichever rank if you don't know the character or the series, you're still a noob in this crypto-world).
That video is a joke right? No way that was real.
Totally a joke, the video was all about the Piper ICO and that guy named "Gilfoyle" was a joke by the way he's answering the beautiful lady. The title was deceiving but the point of it was the answer of that guy which has some resemblance to "overlords". I don't find this thread discussing with a crypto cult if the video is the main topic or that Gilfoyle guy the way he answers make himself looks like some sort of leader. He said he's been mining since 2009.
Its teh HODL gang tbh.

What the title of this thread reminded me was of all the "Lets teach children about Crypto" threads that used to pop up often here. Because those people were equating it to something so... I don't know. Someone from the outside might see that as cult like.
