You can also believe in your company, country, even spouse or kids but this is not connected with religion.
People can even believe in God without need for religion.
Religion is, by definition, institutional and includes church services, the priests, shared spiritual values etc.
We can believe in bitcoin but bitcoin will never replace the institutional faith and service to God.

Taoism nor Buddhism require those. Usually people do not spend hours posting on the internet about how awesome their company is, or claim it will save the world. Bitcoin actually even has its own eschatology, as well as principles of gnosis.

I notice a lot of posts here who content that it's not a religion, because Christianity is. Well, then you better go and discard all the other Abrahamic religions, as well as Shinto, Tao, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc.

Seriously?
I saw this claims many times, when it comes to Apple. There are people worshiping Steve Jobs as a perfect being, the same way, some people worship Satoshi as a perfect being.
