Replying to 60868a25...

I doubt that these people you talk about. Really exist. I am not particularly religious, because I have spent most my life hating it..for some weird reason. Then I listened alot to Jordan Peterson,. Robert breed love and John Vallis. Combined with bitcoin. These people made me look at religion in another light. I was thinking about how you would make sure that kids 200 years from now, would know why you should not change the number from 21 million to anything higher. You would probably have to create some form of religion around it. But thats just a thought :) I do however think that religion is a net positive. And humans like yourself, benefit immensely from religion. And many of the values you think you created yourself,.is actually from religion itself.

Correct. Only free spirits exist... for now.

They are the questioners, the doubters, the ones who step outside the herd.

But the Ăśbermensch, the one who creates new values rather than merely rejecting old ones... he has not yet arrived.

Yes, many of our values passed through religion... but that doesn’t mean they belong to it. I don't deny the past, I just refuse to be owned by it.

You're right if you want people to defend Bitcoin’s 21M cap for centuries, you need more than math... you need myth.

The problem is if future Bitcoiners defend the cap not because they understand it, but because it’s sacred, we haven’t evolved... we’ve replaced one priesthood with another.

I think that they should change the cap. That will create a hardfork and then economic reality will set in. People will learn the hard lesson and go back to the original bitcoin. You don’t need a religion to teach this. In fact, a religion would make it more likely people will want to change the cap.
