 You know, before I had really put my time in with Bitcoin there was a little while where I was really concerned it was a manifestation of the antichrist, precisely for the fact that it seemed so many people worshipped it along with materialistic thinking. 
I can happily say nowadays that I think it is much more likely a gift from God to help fight the corrupt and demonic fiat system which has reigned over us for far too long, bring back #GodsMoney!

 Bitcoin gives us a little slice of paradise as Micah 4:4 states:

Everyone will sit under their own vine and under their own fig tree,
and no one will make them afraid.

 Almost as if we were made this way. We self organize around things we love.  
 Bitcoin has many of the good qualities of religion -- uniting for a common purpose, building a sense of community, encouraging virtue, fostering good leadership -- all without requiring us to believe in the palpably untrue. Excellent!
