Blindme 57 #5 Posted November 16, 2017 My bent on religion might make me biased but I compare this to allowing anti abortionists setup a bitcoin donation line. Being that I wanted bitcoin to disrupt the current financial setup and eliminate a strangle hold by the rich, this religious aspect sours me to some extent. See religion as a control and therefore think its not a good thing. Other hand says its good for adoption but when I see the pope signing a white and gold ferrari it troubles me giving religious groups more options to create funds. Each his own, do not take this as a personal slight, just a opinion and I am a asshole. 1 rembo2 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mistletoe 430 #7 Posted November 20, 2017 If a church is trying to get more funds, then accepting bitcoins is a good idea. Actually, they should start accepting any form of currency; be it a coin or a token so donation are not only limited to cash or bank cards. Not just the church but as well as other orgs like red cross. Etc 1 rembo2 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Popes forcedly collects money from its citizen; every church's move was paid by citizens which they used to purchase the vatican as well as to build the whole city. Not sure what they're up to this time but they are already too rich to scam i think Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
