blockchains : religions

Woke up with an analogy in my head -

Bitcoin : Hinduism - old and continually practiced, decentralized growth, no central leader, lot of passive users, large user base

Ethereum : Judaism - introduces a new framework (smart contracts = law/code), founded by a known figure with writings, thoughtful governance, intellectually respected

Solana : Christianity - born from Ethereum, appeals to a wider market, potentially disliked by hardcore ethereum users, missionaries more available to masses compared to others

People can be friends with others from any religion, similarly they can use products built on any blockchain. However, similar to how they practice their own religion, when building a new product, they start with the blockchain that matches their mental models best?

Obv this isn't meant to say any blockchain/religion is better than the other, etc. etc. Weird waking up with this thought...

Someone please build an app before we all revert to btc fundamentalists

You didn’t but it made me think of the people I’ve seen on the TL here and other places that are getting frustrated with crypto and are returning to btc maximalist/fundamentalist.

Ohh I know why, because you made bitcoin Hindu and I assumed you were Hindu hahaha

eh I am not really religious, I made it analogous to hinduism coz of the same things I mentioned 

One could think of old Sumerian or Egyptian religions but they aren't continually practiced anymore so the analogy breaks

Agreed. Which I think is why I forked it as a quote instead of as a reply. Got stuck between wanting to shitpost and intellectually engage with the analogy.
