Religious zealots, Bitcoin zealots... Roll Eyes

Yeah, the convergence between those two groups is uncanny.

Immediately after I joined the forum I was struck by how oftern the people professing themselves atheist/agnostic kept slipping into using the theological phraseology.

After a while I seem to recognize the similarities in motivation: both groups seem unsecure and search for a stable foundation.

The first group tends to find them in the Bible, the second in the limit of 21 000 000 coins. Both call them "set in stone", although the stone is just a language: Aramaic/Greek/Hebrew in the first case, C++ in the second.

I'm going to insert the following quote just because it is a nice mixture of being both succint and sarcastic.

I'm more concerned with the religion OF bitcoin. Their are FAR too many people who have near apocalyptic visions of how BTC will transform the world and bring torment an damnation upon governments, banks, Keynesians and everyone who has ever mocked them. While the BTCers will be enraptured in wealth and splendor and rule the world at the right-hand of Satoshi. Sound familiar???

And since this is weekend I can post relevant Youtube links:

Both links are reggae, but different songs.

Badass! Thank you.
