> My impression is that Bitcoin (and crypto) is now a religion. I don't agree with this characterization, but let's assume for a second that you're correct. You need to look at the fact that every religion I'm aware of exists and thrives because it fulfills a human need. You are therefore implying that Bitcoin does fulfill a human need, hence the current demand for it. The fact that some people, much like with religion, will take it to extremes and/or gobble it up without questioning it and/or not believe a word of it yet use it to manipulate others to their own advantage does not seem to have any incidence on the fact that large swath of the planet's population are still religious.
