Continued ransomware attacks designed to paint Bitcoin as the 'bad guy'

Being unable to pinpoint the perpetrators behind these ongoing cyber extortion attacks, the 'bad guy' has become the means of ransom: Bitcoin. And this is no coincidence.

False Flag Operation

For those of you who don't know, a false flag operation is designed to create a 'bad guy' by attacking the public in a way that motivates them to scream for action & revenge. Almost all wars are started in this manner, because without the support of the public, it won't be such an easy ride for those at the top.

This situation is textbook false flag. But what is particularly interesting here is that the various governments of the world...

• Will not be able to catch the perpetrators
• Will not be able to stop the attacks
• Will not be able to declare war on anyone
• Will not be able to reimburse anyone with their lost money

Which leaves Bitcoin as the perceived enemy.

The first I heard about it was from friends in the UK who said that the media was going mad about a National Health Care Hospital that had been attacked by a virus which held important files for ransom until the asked amount of Bitcoin had been paid into an anonymous account.

Stealing from an institute dedicated to helping the sick is of course the lowest of the low. And so it began...

Now the 'Wannacry' ransomware attack has hit more than 200,000 victims in at least 150 countries, as you can see below.

It is said to be the biggest attack of its kind. A 'Cyber Apocalypse' some are calling it.

The Bitcoin-loving villains are targeting hospitals, large companies and government agencies. And in each situation it is the same: if you want your data back, you must pay the Bitcoin ransom. And in a set period too...

So severe is the impact of this attack we have just been told here in Bali that there will be no money in the ATMs for the next few days. Maybe even longer.

This is a global push towards a desired end.

What is the goal?

The UK media plainly stated that the government had only two options:

• Make Bitcoin illegal
• Enforce strict regulations around the use of Bitcoin

Naturally, to make it illegal will do very little to stop someone using a VPN to set up his 100th Bitcoin wallet using a fake name, fake email address and a sim card which he will throw away after confirming the account.

So, the enforced regulation of Bitcoin is inevitable.

Without a clearly defined enemy Bitcoin has become the villain.

What effect will this have?

Bitcoin has been a growing thorn in the side of the banking system for some time now and their best efforts to stop it have failed.

So if you can't beat them, join them. And join them they have.

It is my belief that soon Bitcoin accounts will be illegal unless registered to a user in the same way that a bank might register a user on their system. You will need to provide passport details, proof of address, telephone number, bank statements, utility bills and who knows what else.

Sites found to be permitting unregistered Bitcoin account holders to make transactions will simply be shut down.

Forcing us into submission.

Ultimately the governments of the world want us to turn to digital money, but they want 100% visibility and they want to be in control.

They want to see the person behind the account and they want to have the ability to tax, monitor and potentially even freeze accounts if they choose.

The rise of STEEM

As an alternative to Bitcoin, Steem is perfect. It is upgraded tech and not yet popular enough to invest millions into the think tank behind what is going on with Bitcoin right now.

These are very interesting times we are living in.

And I am most interested to see what comes next...
