Without getting into religion proper, I don't think that those who authored the Bible could even imagine the possibility of Bitcoin when they wrote the book.  So, I don't think that one will find any concrete answers to the question.

In the book of Revelation (Revelation 13:17) John prophecies that a mark will be put on everyone to buy or sell.  I am sure that was a very foreign idea to John when he was shown that and wrote that.  Tracking people is very much a modern idea.  Bitcoin is hard to track so a mark would be desirable by governments if use became widespread.

Bitcoin is just like money. The money itself is not evil but the greed for money which is evil.

thats true, bitcoin is money and it makes people greedy sometimes what is considered as a bad thing in the bible as far as i know, though those are just my ideas

i think that bitcoin will never be a bad thing because it will have only benefits on people as the price is not dependent on the governments or banks thus people can do with it anything they want

is it against the ten commandments to own bitcoin?
Re-check the ten commandments, that will give you the answer or better still head down to your local church and ask the priest in person.
He's bound to know.

The Bible itself doesn't define the Bitcoin or the attitude to.it but the religion in.general probably treats it as any othet material thing or money - greed for it is a sin.

I suppose you are right. It would be really intriging if bitcoin was mentioned by name. Conspiracy theory lovers would like that.
However i think bitcoin, gold and money in general are equal to greed and sin.

They did mention Bitcoin in the bible. I think it's in the book of Cox. That book wasn't found in a cave written on papyrus, it was found in the desert near Las Vegas and written on cocktail napkins. It is written that Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed for beastality, Bitcoin and homosexuality. King Birsha used to pay for the sheep he sodomised with Bitcoin.

But, I do believe that if one understands the guiding principles of their specific religion, then they could ascertain the implications of any particular practice on a personal level. It's important for one to understand their own religion and they should be cautious when asking others what to believe about it.

I don't understand why some people include everything in to religion???

Dude, you want to make money, you are welcome here. But if you just want to understand the relation between religion and making money, I would love to kick you out from here because you are polluting the forum.

Keep religion aside and take part in any constructive discussion. But don't try to bring some stone aged theory in to this forum.

I don't believe in A Supreme Being, but I find your militant yet impotent intolerance to be simply adorable.

I don't think religions are instilled by the governments to control their populations. People from ancient times believed there was a higher power in search of hope for themselves during hardships like war, drought, cataclysms. And as the Bible says we shall not steal the Bitcoins of our friends  Grin

The Bible says that you must give your bitcoins to me or risk eternal damnation. It's somewhere in the middle.

Well said QuestionAuthority.

In God we trust! But I trust John Lennon.

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

If we all can think like him, we can achieve world peace. But no, religion is creating disputes. hence I don't need that, I can live without believing in a god made by humans for their own benefits.


It's a false argument to say that if there was no religion, there would be world peace. History is full of examples of people who were the same religion (meaning religion was not a factor) but still had wars. People will always have disagreements: democrat vs. republican vs. independent, etc. There will shortages of food, water, materials, etc., and these shortages have and will continue to lead to wars.

Like I said in my last post: if you're not religious, that's cool. And if you are, that's cool too. It's when we start demanding that other people believe like us or else...that's where the problems lie.

We need tools like bitcoin so everyone has an equal opportunity to compete. With a few small groups controlling the earths resources we will always have large scale problems and no balance.  Bitcoin is not enough and only the beginning.  We need more monopoly breaking inventions.

Someone could just as easily say that you should be kicked out of here for your intolerance of other people's beliefs. See the irony?

That's the irony of fate dude!!

Religion divides people and I think religion should be restricted to temples and churches. In today's world, religion is obsolete. We don't need any more anarchists in this world. It's better to be a non religious person than to find religion in everything.
 

I personally think all world religions are fabrications created to enslave populations into a government sanctioned self control (in God we trust). Without religion governments would no longer be capable of controlling their populations. But that doesn't mean you don't need to take religion into account when determining the way individuals will react to something. Just the opposite, religion is so ingrained into society it becomes a leading variable to discuss in order to determine how something is accepted or rejected.

Most of the world is religious. If you're not, that's cool, but just realize that most people are and that to say things like if people don't believe the way you do, they should be banned <--- that is the more stone-aged approach. In my opinion, of course Wink
