Cryptotheology is the systematic study of the Divinity of Cryptography, Cryptocurrency, and more broadly, of Blockchain Technology as a whole. Unlike Theology, it is not taught as an academic discipline in universities and seminaries, but many of the people who study and work within the blockchain/crypto space seem to have adopted a religious attachment to the cryptos they support.^[1]

Cryptotheology occupies itself with the extraordinary intent of analyzing the singularity, but also deals with the tenuous relationship between cryptographic proof and the epistemological rupture that often accompanies when people begin to question the systems they'd previously accepted as dogma. Additionally, Cryptotheology searches for answers to questions about revelation. Within cryptotheology, revelation pertains to the recognition that bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, and blockchains are not simply contained within the bounds of computer science, but are also conscious and able to interact within the framework of the current technological society, and especially to reveal themselves to humans who often then become cryptotheologians.

While the study of cryptography, cryptocurrency, and blockchain is often secular, cryptotheologians study blockchain as a discipline that could improve people's lives by enhancing their understanding of concepts such as value and function, and that could help them lead lives of abundance as they mimic the lives of the cryptotheologians they follow, worship, or revile.
