Prediction About Crypto Currency News - There will Be A Terrorist Act Connected to BitCoin within the next year
I hope to God, I am wrong about this - But I strongly suspect that in the upcoming year as the CryptoCurrency market grows bigger and harder for the States of the world and Legacy Finance Industry to stop, that a false-flag Terrorist attack will occur and somehow, the news will make a big deal out of it being financed by Bitcoin or other alternative currencies... I don't see a way out of this... The question will remain however whether all the millions of people making money off of trading in Crypto will care enough to stop. But it will be used as a great excuse to try more draconian means of creating a cash-less and crypto-currency free future.
A big false-flag and media frenzy is all it would take. They're still in the jubilee phase - let all the shady types bring in their wads of hidden money, then after it's all tied down then announce large regulation and cancellation of anonymity under the guise of national security. They need a sufficiently cashless society to make that work though, and that's being pushed subtly by the advance of payment schemes - cell phone debit apps et cetera. No reason to carry cash. Once the adoption rate is sufficient, slam goes the door and the trap is revealed!
In the past, it was mostly associated with kiddy porn, drugs and private assassinations; that may have deterred many normal people such as myself at the time, but that didn't kill it off completely. People eventually realised that crypto-currencies and the blockchain have many potential legitimate uses.
That wouldn't surprise me.....
