In can be seen in which ever coin form you choose. People rallying behind their chosen token, calling for their fellows to HODL as the good days are coming. Encouraging blind faith and discarding all nay sayers. Sounds familiar does it not?
It can be seen in every coin forum and Subreddit. Felt in every crypto group when differences in the future is uttered. Seen in the words of those who have changed their lives. A rally of strangers, coming together and championing their new found token, encouraging their fellows to HODL through the bad times and backing into blind faith against all nay sayers.
Sounds familiar does it not?
Catholicism has began to fail people. The church simply grew too big, too inundated with it’s old ways of thinking. Orthodox faiths though smaller have held strong through these trying times. Yet everyday we hear of a new spirituality rising only to fall a few years later.
Rings a few bells?
Religion and crypto currently can draw many parallels. A zealous faith to their chosen coins whilst shirking the nay sayers at all time. New emerging figures whose word is taken as gospel for coins and the futures of crypto currency. People selling all their assets for the promised assent ion.
Cryptocurrency and religion draw many parallels. A zealous group holding true to their coin, shushing the those who do not believe and taken the words of a chosen few as gospel as time begins to play the grand scheme of the blockchain, People even selling all their possessions to part of the ascending prices.
But beyond that, this new found technology has given one thing which only the faithful of religion have known for a while now. Community and hope. Some of these Reddit forums may as well be places of worship as people go on about their coins, and you know what, it’s about time.
How many spirits have been crushed by the burdens of a rigged financial system? Now they have a chance, a fleeting glimpse at a future unbounded by the thought of pouring their souls into a job which yields them no return.
Beyond the zealous rantings, people talk about their lives are coming together even without the financial promise. Bad habits finally broken, new passions found, old flames reignited. No one has mad millions yet their they are, going full steam ahead into a better tomorrow. Even if Buffets of the world are right (they won’t be), people are coming out of richer one way or another.
Though with faith and zealots come the tension. Billionaires heating up about the futures of crypto on Twitter as Satoshi keeps their ever quiet presence (Read the creator creating then vanishing leaving a few messiahs to battle it out). It is good, but it should stay there. Heres to hoping that the Doge Army does not suddenly decided to burn into a militia.
Crypto is a promise of a brighter tomorrow, not only for finances but for people as well. The more hope and drive it may infect people with, the more people are driven to better to be better. At the end of the day, that’s just a grand doing no matter where it comes from.
I’m not saying blockchain birthed the new religion, I’m just saying, both seek to preserve the ultimate truth, one way or the other.
