I argue that Cryptocurrencies function as distinct religious beliefs, which affect ego permeability by playing into our natural tendencies to perceive attributes of money and value as inherently magic and spiritual.

Do you think that cryptocurrencies are religions?

That depends from the kind of people. There are people that made religious about any kind of things. If some of they will be affected to much about bitcoin they for sure will build a church in their home with the ASIC in the center of it and where will pray five time in a day that difficulty will not be increased and that they will have more and more bitcoins.

That depends. The mining process is based on randomness, and countless theological scholars argue that randomness is insight into the mind of god. And empirically, it reflects the structure of the universe.
