Great news, BTC goes straight into the heavens!
Imagine when the priest will educate the thousands of churchgoers about the benefits of BTC :D
"ICF Church, an evangelical church in Zurich, Switzerland, is set to begin accepting Bitcoin donations from its parishioners.
ICF Zurich is one of the biggest churches in the country.
The Charismatic congregation has decided to add the alternative digital currency to the other options through which members can give to the church.
Many of the members of this free evangelical church are younger than average.
“Digital currencies and the blockchain technology will change our daily lives more and more in the next years”, spokesperson of ICF Nicolas Legler told Swiss news agency Idea.
The church, known for its use of all kinds of other technologies in its worship services, has many young members, and some of them are increasingly using this way of doing financial transfers.
“Cryptocurrencies will be implemented, be it ‘Bitcoin’ or other currencies controlled by the State.
We are convinced that this technology will soon belong to our daily lives”, Legler explained.
“Twenty years ago, no one would have believed that internet would determine our lives so much”, he added.
In addition to ‘Bitcoin’, ICF (which stands for International Christian Fellowship) will also accept donations in other alternative cryptocurrencies such as ‘Bitcoin Cash’, ‘Etherum’ and ‘Ripple’.
All of the income of this evangelical church comes from voluntary offerings and donations."

Interesting to see such receptive behavior on the part of church but in our Muslim world still, most of the clerics are not able to actually understand what blockchain is let aside the idea of accepting the idea of accepting donations in our mosques in the form of crypto currency
BTC is not based on debt, i see there is a confusion among different opinions in Islamic leadership.
This opinion is 1 year old, i am not following if it has changed or not, but based on the number of Islam followers, this should be decided sooner or later. Just like which direction to pray if you are on the International Space Station. It has been sorted and fixed.
“The relationship between a distributed, autonomous Blockchain management systems (BMS) like Bitcoin—also referred to as a 'virtual currency'—and Islamic Banking and Finance (IBF). It shows that a BMS can conform with the prohibition of riba (usury)—as Bitcoin does—and incorporate the principles of maslaha (social benefits of positive externalities) and mutual risk-sharing (as opposed to risk-shifting). With regard to maslaha, the world's unbanked number in the billions and represent the majority of the world's adults.”
