Just listened to this french podcast on my commute: "Is Bitcoin a Religion?" by Jacques Favier. At first, I thought the guy was totally out to lunch – seriously, what is he smoking? 😅 But then, after thinking it over, it kinda clicked.
He says Bitcoin has many signs of a religion: a mysterious founder (Satoshi), a sacred text (the white paper), a dedicated community (HODLers), rituals like mining, and even holy days like Bitcoin Pizza Day and the Halving. Add to that mantras like "Not your keys, not your coins." , stay humble and stack sats ... you see the point. It really made me wonder... if Bitcoin is still around in 1000 years, wouldn’t it definitely be seen as a religion?
I mean, were the contemporaries of Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, or Buddha fully aware of how big those movements would get? 👀
