Have you encountered a denomination near your area accepting bitcoin or cryptocurrency? Would you share the same idea to the denomination or faith you are a part of?
I have never seen this, even because many religious tend to stay away from technology and its innovations. Furthermore, many religious people have issues with money: many of them see money as an evil thing, and preach against the accumulation of material goods.
So, bitcoin, as a speculative investment is very frowned upon among these groups. I don't think they are going to adopt it now or soon. I know not all religious communities think this way and some of them value prosperity as result from hard work, but it's not the case here.
I never seen any churches accepting Bitcoin but that doesn't mean that every religious tend to stay away from technology, money or sees money as evil thing because you totally misunderstand the stand of religious people as money is concern because they actually believe much love or chasing after money (greed) lead to people doing evil thing which what make some scammers abusing the benefit of crypto currency.
Did I say *every*? I said many.
Not all religions and their preachers are against money and technology, but it's undeniable that are many of them who are. Sometimes the religion isn't even against it, but its preachers interpret the commandments and sacred words in a very strict way for ignorance or personal goals.
