Glad somebody else gets it. This is exactly the reason crypto (likely in the form of BTC/BCH/BSV or ETH) will win. Sound money that cannot be violently subverted is a literal deus ex machina that has already attracted a cult following similar to the early days of Christianity.
The fact that crypto is a sort of god-like entity, in that it exists in a realm at least partially separate and apart from existing systems of social and economic control is going to become increasingly obvious to more and more people through future "bubble cycles" until eventually the majority simply take for granted that the world's blockchain is a kind of "higher power," similar to the way medieval Europeans simply took for granted that they were being watched over by an omniscient god.
What the long-term consequences of the above are is anybody's guess, but it should be obvious that whatever happens there will be a massive social transformation as a result.

Meh, Protestantism was initially a minority fork but it eventually grew to displace the original chain (the Catholic Church) in a lot of spheres.
Given that forking is the primary mechanism by which a ledger can evolve and change it is wise for any crypto investor to have fingers in all the pies with the same lineage as far as the ledger is concerned.
The space is flooded with emotionally charged misinformation regarding all bitcoin forks. Unless you are clairvoyant or have some juicy insider information, the smart thing to do as an investor is to remain fork agnostic to the greatest extent possible.

The printing press made the bible and other books accessible to regular people which made people realize that they could get to god without the church as an intermediary, this is what led to the protestant reformation.

Bitcoin made people realize that they could have a direct relationship with money without banks and governments as intermediaries, which will lead to the crypto revolution.

The parallels are truly amazing, Satoshi is the modern Luther.

The "stories" in religious texts are not meant to be "real," you retards. They are meant to distill extremely difficult to understand spiritual concepts that cannot be expressed coherently by most brainlets using allegory or a fantasy framework.
Just because something is framed as a "fantasy" doesn't mean that the underlying content is not valid. The people who crafted the stories you read in sacred texts were geniuses who largely succeeded in encoding the profound into a language more accessible to those who do not have direct experience grappling with the spiritual world directly on their own terms.

Isn't it the same question of how math works, or where math comes from? If you assume that numbers work because of adjective traits (oneness + oneness = twoness), then what gives things its ness? According to religion, I am sure for this "ness," or whatever it is giving birth to "ness," to be God. Regardless of whether you can explain where God itself comes from. What is it according to your atheism? God here is just an abstract concept... you don't have to take it in such an autistically literal sense.

All that aside, atheists today seem to completely reject to even acknowledge the concept of a conscious existence = they don't even value their own ego, such that they would rid themselves of their own consciousness if it means turning themselves into a better consumer robot. What a shitty ideology...
