Could be the tone, when removed it does make a good argument.

Strange because I intentionally matched the tone of the comment I replied to. Comparing cryptocurrency to religion is incredibly ignorant at best, and trolling or FUDing at worst.

Its close (oh and I’m absolutely on your side here). It’s not a religion (this would require it be not-math and not-physics), but it is a very virulent meme, like religion. It might even be the greatest meme - that is, energy based PoW 21 million coin sha256^2/ripemd/ecdsa with 10 min blocks just as our savior Satoshi commanded. As another commenter said, it actually delivers unlike religion.
