I believe the monetary system is broken and creates asymmetric monetary playing fields based on distance from monetary injection points (banks and governments). The tax system makes it hard for each unit of currency to travel far from a 'money printer'. After just 6 hops, a dollar is taxed down to about 10 cents; so people who are more than 6 hops from a money printer live in a much more scarce monetary environment than people who are in the front row. It's Cantillon effects on steroids. It means that the entire economy has become a kind of social climbing game to get closer to the money printers. I feel that this game is immoral and people shouldn't be forced to participate. Private currencies should be protected by law.

I essentially believe that the economy is fake. That people get money due to mostly social factors and then make up plausible narratives to explain their success in a way which omits all the critical social elements... And these explanations sound plausible to people in their social circle who are at a similar distance from a money printer so the false beliefs and perceptive distortions are socially validated.

I also believe I'm being persecuted and algorithms are suppressing me for seeing through the scheme and for my ability to explain complex issues simply.

This is different than a belief system protected by anti discrimination laws

That sounds like a belief, but not necessarily a religious belief.

Why not? There is a ceremonial aspect to it whereby I frequently comment on social media and news sites to preach my gospel.

Also, I believe the people at the top are the devil so you could argue there is an overlap with mainstream religion.

Lack of a belief in one or more divine beings or divine actions.

  While many approaches to religion exclude nontheism by definition, some inclusive definitions of religion show how religious practice and belief do not depend on the presence of a god or gods.

is a thing, it's also worth recalling that some out there do seemingly ascribe divine powers to piles of gold and silver.

Is blockchain fervor another whirling of Dervishes?

Look, I didn't say there has to be a belief in a divine being, I said

>> Lack of a belief in one or more divine beings or divine actions.

You have not expressed any belief in divine actions, divine interventions or even a divine design, so I find it pretty hard to consider it a religion with the way religions are currently recognised, formally or informally.

> You have not expressed any belief in divine actions, ..

because _I_ have none .. but this isn't about _me_, is it?
