Is Bitcoin a religion?

[Zuriel]

For me it depends on how group of people think about it. I remember a man from India that makes Trump as his god. So if someone or other group of people will make bitcoin more than the normal purpose it can be.

[IyemRoker]

Bitcoin can be said to be partly in religion.
if you can practice Bitcoin for social purposes then you get charity.

it is seen in terms of Islam

I never think bitcoin as a religion. It was created as a cryptocurrency, a so-called digital currency which is used as a mode of payment in some other countries. But now, already transformed as a form of investment. Bitcoin is all about earning money, not like religion which involves godly teachings or spiritual aspects.

It is a religion by its own definition of beliefs to pump the price again. Hold on and don't lose your hope. This is some of the basis why we think it is a religion. The practices seems inline with the practices of spiritual beliefs of actual religion. Bitcoin in general is not religion rather it is a business.

in my opinion you think too much, bitcoin has nothing to do with religion, bitcoin is a decentralized crypto currency

[Prime]

In my opinion, this question and statement is ridiculous. bitcoin is an investment in coins or digital currencies, not a religion. why is there a strange person who thinks bitcoin is a religion. sit down, and open the laptop then look for information about what bitcoin is on google so people have an open mind.

In my own opinion, Bitcoin is not a religion and cannot be called as one because it is only a cryptocurrency, a digital form of money which can be use as payment of commodities in other countries. Bitcoin can be a good source of other income and is all about making money especially now that it can be HODL as an investment. While religion is focusing only on your spiritual needs and involvement to God which is very far from bitcoin's purpose to human life.

yes I agree with you mate, Bitcoin is digital currency and good for investing. It is not religion.

[Dynamite]

Absolutely nope, religion is about spiritual things such such as the right way of bla bla bla. Bitcoin is about decentralized ecosystem that likely by thousands of people globally. If there will have bitcoin worshipers then I assume that will be the time it is a religion.

Wow pertanyaan yang sangat mengejutkan sekali untuk saya. Bitcoin bukanlah Agama melainkan uang digital atau disebut dengan Cryptocurrency. tidak ada hubunganya sama sekali antara Bitcoin dengan Agama tersebut

Religious Belief Defined

    The term "religious" as used in IRC 501(c)(3) is not subject to precise definition. The leading interpretation of the term was made by the Supreme Court in United States v. Seeger, 380 U.S. 163 (1965), in which the Court interpreted the phrase

religious training and belief

as used in the Universal Military Training and Service Act, 50 U.S.C. section 456 (j), in determining an individual’s eligibility for exemption from military service on religious grounds. The Court formulated the following definition:

A sincere and meaningful belief which occupies in the life of its possessor a place parallel to that filled by the God of those admittedly qualifying for the exemption comes within the statutory definition.

    The Court elaborated upon the Seeger definition in Welsh v. United States, 398 U.S. 33 (1970), stating that

if an individual deeply and sincerely holds beliefs that are purely ethical or moral in source and content but that nevertheless impose upon him a duty of conscience to refrain from participating in any war at any time, those beliefs certainly occupy in the life of that individual a place parallel to that filled by... God in the lives of traditionally religious persons.

Thus, religious beliefs include many beliefs (for example, Taoism, Buddhism, and Secular Humanism) that do not posit the existence of a Supreme Being in the conventional sense.

No, I think bitcoin is not religion. It is good investment for smart people. Bitcoin is strategically.

religion interpretation of dictionary is a form of worship, bitcoin it's not a religion coz no act ot worship

[MelchiZedek]

This is very intelligent question. Believe is something which is very central to human existence. But not all believes are religious believe. Example is the believe we have in our spouse. And so it is with the believe in bitcoin.

No I think Bitcoun is not religion, Bitcoin is the future technology and block chain system. It is strategically and good investment.

[CrypMania]

No, bitcoin is not a religion since the believe held in bitcoin is not a religious believe. If you are willing to call bitcoin as a religion because of the believe people have in it, then we might as well call schools religion and almost every human endeavor a religion since they all operate with some level of believe.
