Ever notice how traders across different faiths tend to credit divine intervention whenever they hit a lucky trade or dodge a scam? There's an irony here worth examining. Both Islamic and Christian teachings have traditionally been skeptical of conflating spiritual grace with material wealth. Religious texts in both traditions explicitly warn against this kind of thinking. Yet the crypto space seems to run on this exact logic—posting 'Alhamdulillah' after a pump, or 'God is good' after avoiding a rug pull. It's a fascinating contradiction between what these belief systems actually teach and how participants invoke them. The gap between spiritual doctrine and market behavior in Web3 tells us something about how people rationalize risk and fortune in high-stakes environments.

Haha, okay, if it pumps, Alhamdulillah; if it rug pulls, is it really Allah's protection? That logic is amazing.

Haha, alright, you're starting to deceive yourself again. Making money is destiny, losing money is being cut off. This kind of excuse has been overused.

Haha, I knew it. When I make money, I believe in God; when I lose money, I blame the market. Human nature.
