RE: Steemit, Bitcoin and Crypto IS Haram 4 Muslims? - MUSLIMS CANTS USE STEEMIT!?!?!?!?!?!
I want one but cant afford a whole bitcoin, also how does one buy a single loaf of hala bread "Hand to hand" with that awesome coin i want? with the price of gold are we close to bitcoin being worth an oz of gold? it brings in so many questions.
Also the physical coin does not interupt what they are saying, how do you know in 300 years your bitcoin will be worth anything where the point they are making is gold and silver has been around 3k years and will continue to be of value because of the small small supply. one of the dudes even goes into about how 21million bitcoins only and stuff.
I will say they seem to have (even to me) a minimal grasp on what crypto is, but I think its worth a serious discussion with the fellow muslims that use steemit.
Yea those are good points, I was being a little silly. Religion is silly. It could very well be possible that a strict Muslin is restricted from using cryptos (and Steem). Maybe people should just stop basing their lives around books written during the Iron age.
Yeah, but its not that simple. more people have died and killed for religion then anything else.
before i came to steemit and even half my steemit life the only thing i thought was real money was gold and silver. I still trust in gold and silver but i wonder if the people saying it is haram would change their mind just like i did about crypto when i thought it was all just fake digits like fiat. im sure you remember me when i didnt think steem was money, all it took was me learning how it worked to change my mind even if i had to be dragged to that conclusion kicking and screaming.
Would the high up in islam religon people change their mind if they understood crypto more or whould they stiill say its haram?
Its trippy to me.
If you were to ask me if amish people disagree with crypto i would expect an easy yeas but this one i think goes a little deeper.
Muslims use pieces of paper to buy their groceries every day (or digital number on a credit card). If they can be inconsistant with their religion to do that, then why can't they do the same with crypto?
Thats the part that confuses me, they are for goverment issused fiat currency but anti-crypto. Im thinking its lack of understanding what crypto is. im hoping its just a lack of understand right now. with that said they still dont eat pork so it could be more then information.
religion is funny though right? We are lucky to be in the time we are in where we can look upon this stuff like this and talk about how its a bit insane (not that i have met someone sane yet) and try to come to a middle ground with everyone, or try to.
