 Technically, yes.  So does it require faith that the sun will rise tomorrow.  But I've studied astronomy and so I have a lot of data that supports that theory.

It also requires faith that the laws of physics will not change tomorrow.

Everything, if you boil it down far enough, requires faith.

Fortunately it's possible to study bitcoin deeply enough to have conviction that if the sun rises tomorrow and physics doesn't break that bitcoin will continue to thrive.
