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?
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.According to Google, the term "Religion" means the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.

In the strictest sense of the word, bitcoin or being a part of the world of cryptocurrency can never be considered or be compared to that of following a deity or a God. Yes, of course, there can be some similarities of expression of human emotions like fanaticism, loyalty, positivism, joyfulness but those are not exclusively expressed on to something but generally on anything in our human experiences. Nobody is treating bitcoin as a god even if there are certainly many people who seems to be guided by money all their lives.
