Bitcoin: The New Digital Faith Amidst the Vatican Conclave
As the Vatican begins the conclave to elect the successor to Pope Francis, a parallel phenomenon comes to prominence: Bitcoin is consolidating as a "new digital faith".
In a moment of spiritual transition, many see in the cryptocurrency an alternative of trust and stability.
The conclave, which started on May 7, 2025, brings together 133 cardinals in the Sistine Chapel, making it the most multicultural in history. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is reaching new levels of appreciation, reinforcing its position as a store of value in times of uncertainty.
Experts point out that, after the 2024 halving, Bitcoin is likely to reach historical highs, as has occurred in previous cycles. This appreciation coincides with the search for alternatives in the face of institutional and economic crises.
The comparison between the conclave and the growth of Bitcoin underscores a paradigm shift: while the Catholic Church seeks to renew its spiritual leadership, the digital world finds in Bitcoin a new form of faith and trust.
