Re: Can Bitcoin be considered a Religion?

Considering how many Bitcoin believers (maximalists) there are, with their specific beliefs of how cryptocurrency should behave, it's becoming more evident that Bitcoin is a religion. After all, this popular movement of decentralized finance has impacted our lives one way or the other. The world has its eyes on the direction of Bitcoin as a digital currency which determines the path forward of Blockchain technology.

According to Google, the term "Religion" means the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods. This becomes true especially when many Bitcoin followers believe that Satoshi is some sort of "god". Hence, if Satoshi would reveal himself to the public, many people will follow him.

Nonetheless, what are your thoughts about this? Huh

We might say that we do follow satoshi due to his innovative invention but we wont really come to a point on where we do already treat its as a religion.

Its a different story comparing between religion and simply a community that do support Bitcoin.Theres no divine intervention on this matter so I don't see
any relation at all.

Religion is not about following someone or something but it's about belief, worship and similar. Bitcoin is technology not a religion and has not similarities whatsoever with it. According to that logic Satoshi supposed to be god or what? It's really funny to compare Bitcoin with religion and I don't know how anyone even comes to such idea.

Yes, religion is a belief that has existed since we were born who was convinced to determine us in the next world.
bitcoin is just an advance in digital technology that can help our lives better, especially in the fields of finance or economics.
I do not agree if bitcoin is treated as a religion that must be worshiped and that is the same as Mushrik and is strictly forbidden by my religion.
