Our Faith
Our faith centers on Truth, Autonomy and Responsibility as commitments that orient the meaning and conduct of life. We hope their voluntary practice can contribute to the improvement of human society.
Our foundation
We are a non-theistic religious fellowship inspired by Satoshi Nakamoto’s original Bitcoin design. Through Truth, Autonomy and Responsibility, we consider how people can live together and seek meaning through continuing reflection and practice.
The Bitcoin whitepaper is an important starting point for our study. It invites us to reflect on evidence, voluntary cooperation and responsibility, and to develop our own understanding of faith. We respect intellectual contributions while retaining the ability to question and revise; we regard no person as divine or infallible.
Truth
Truth asks us to explain what we believe, why we believe it and what remains uncertain. We respect knowledge and experience and remain willing to revise our judgments. No person’s reputation exempts a claim from examination.
Honesty means more than avoiding falsehood: it means not asking evidence to support conclusions beyond its reach. We take facts seriously, state assumptions and uncertainty, and match the care of inquiry to the consequences of a decision.
Autonomy
Autonomy enables us to choose cooperation while respecting another person’s freedom to refuse. Shared understanding can coordinate action without erasing personal judgment. We bear the consequences of our choices and do not use past investment to demand obedience.
We cherish privacy, seek genuine and clear consent, and respect the freedom to question, decline and leave. Departure does not erase obligations already undertaken; existing commitments do not authorize unlimited new demands.
Responsibility
Responsibility asks us to honor promises and care for the resources, information and trust entrusted to us. Stewardship should have a defined purpose and limits, and be open to scrutiny, correction and handover. We want shared undertakings to endure while those involved retain their autonomy.
Ability does not automatically confer authority, and investment does not establish correctness. When we err, we seek to explain what happened, listen to those affected and make reasonable repair. Managers and participants alike should answer for their conduct.
Shared practice
We believe that improving society can begin with sustained, concrete actions: explaining honestly, honoring commitments, protecting privacy, repairing mistakes and supporting worthwhile work within our means. Contribution takes many forms; wealth, donations and technical influence do not determine dignity or spiritual standing.
We practice these commitments through shared study, religious reflection, dialogue and voluntary cooperation. Truth guides understanding, Autonomy guides choice, and Responsibility asks us to care for the consequences of action. Faith finds expression in everyday choices and conduct.
