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.

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?

I AM A SCAMMER

Quote

Hosea 12:7
The merchant uses dishonest scales and loves to defraud.

Quote

Proverbs 20:23
The LORD detests differing weights, and dishonest scales do not please him.

What about the command "Thou shalt not steal?" Bitcoin keeps governments from stealing money from it's citizens, by not being able to print more and inflate the value. Bitcoin is also impossible to counterfeit, keeping commerce honest. It seems like if anything, the Bible would be for bitcoin.

Yes - I think that's the 7th commandment after the one about owning a Kindle.

God wasn't keen on iPhones either. Straight to hell if you own one.

Lol. It's good that I own a Samsung then. I really couldn't care whether the bible likes bitcoin or not.

You can get back in his good graces if you hang out with prostitutes named Mary. Jesus had a penchant for whores. Extra points if her last name is Magdalene.

Some Bible prophecy advocates think Bitcoin — a form of digital currency — could become the "Mark of the Beast" mentioned in the New Testament's Book of Revelation.

Given that bitcoin is designed to be the opposite - a tool for freedom rather than centralization - that doesn't make very much sense. But I've never actually seen such an opinion expressed - does anyone have any evidence that anyone remotely familiar with bitcoin has taken such a stand?

Revelation 13:16-17 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.

Unless it becomes mandatory for everyone to have a Bitcoin code in their right hand or forehead, then Bitcoin is not the mark of the beast.

That being said, some governments have been and are continuing to attempt to ban cash:

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/02/23/governments-of-the-world-are-coming-for-your-cash/

Even the attempt to ban cash should cause voters to demand that the officials contemplating this excessive level of control be removed from office. I'm posting this to help make you aware so you can do something about it. If you know of any politician attempting to ban cash, call and write them and demand that they stop. If they don't, vote in someone who cares about your privacy (meaning they have an established record of standing up to government intrusion...not many of those types, so support them when you find them). I want to emphasize the established record of fighting government intrusion. Pres. O said he would have the most transparent administration ever. In reality, he has had one of the least transparent administrations. Look at what a politician does, not what they say. That's the key.

Ok, is it a sinful act if, i decide to purchase a bible for a friend or for personal with bitcoins?

The short answer is no. Bitcoin is just like money. The money itself is not evil- it is the LOVE (greed) for money which is evil.

I do like to read the book version of bible, but I usually use the bible App which is more convenience when I am commuting on train.

My father always said, Keep 3 things separate from each other.. Religion / Politics / Money .... When you bring these things together, things will always get heated. No matter what religion you have,

you should not let money rule your life. People should concentrate on working hard and playing even harder.... We only have one life, and we should enjoy it and make it enjoyable and good for other

people too. In my life, good always triumphed over bad.

Each and every happening in the world is described in the bible. I expect in some versus it might be described. If we get the exact verse written for cryptcurrencies we can predict how long will the bitcoin survive.

Bible talked about wealth and money many times. For example, in Ecclesiastes 5:8-20, the author (most likely King Solomon) explained what wealth and money is.

"Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. This too is meaningless." (Ecclesiastes 5:10)

Why would you imagine that it is a problem?

Is it sinful to buy something with cash? Credit card? Check? Paypal? Salt? Sea shells?

Religion and currency should not be related in any aspect. Currency like bitcoin is the mode of payment and any religion is okay with it as long as you are using it in a legal way.

I agree, the relation between Bitcoin and religion should be like the separation between the Church and the State, neither should cross into the other and each should be left to its own devices.

Each serves its own purpose, there is no need to unnecessarily intertwine the two.

probably something about "property" likewise to help people and don't waste money.
but meanwhile btc is more "bible good" then classic cash, because there is a "democratic" power inside itself.
