Centralne banke se ujedinjuju da 'oslabe' Bitcoin: Nova istraživanja otkrivaju
Daniel Batten, managing partner at CH4 Capital and a noted climate activist for The Bitcoin ESG Forecast, has brought to light new research indicating a concerted effort by Central Banks, particularly within the European Union, to systematically “weaken” BTC’s influence and standing.
U detaljnom izlaganju objavljenom preko X (bivši Twitter), Batten navedeno: “While we were sleeping, the European Commission (via ESMA & ECB) has been creating a report which they plan to label Bitcoin – environmentally harmful – a threat to EU energy security – a haven for financial criminals. This paves the way for 2025 de facto EU bans on BTC & BTC mining.”
Prema Battenu, ovaj potez Evropske komisije dio je šire strategije koja ima globalne implikacije. Naglasio je: “ESMA je, u bliskoj saradnji s ECB-om, signalizirala da će, nakon što izvještaj bude prihvaćen u EU, nastojati da postane standard u drugim zemljama.”
Coordinated Attack Against Bitcoin
Linking the current scenario to the aftermath of the Globalna finansijska kriza (GFC), Batten suggests a deep-seated fear among Central Banks regarding the decentralizing potential of Bitcoin. He quotes, “During The GFC, Central Bankers realized the risk people could discover our Central Bank-based financial system had been transferring from the poor to the rich for generations.”

Batten further accuses the ECB of shifting their stance from ridicule to active opposition post-2018. “After this 2018 survey, they moved into fight mode,” he claims. He identifies the ECB, the Bank of International Settlements (BIS), and the DNB (Dutch Central Bank) as the leading entities in this alleged campaign against Bitcoin.
The research points out the strategic use of environmental concerns as a primary attack vector. Batten asserts, “The prime attack vector has been ‘Bitcoin is bad for the environment.’ It’s a lie, of course, which anyone who has looked into it deeply will know.”
The report also brings attention to specific incidents that have shaped public perception and policy towards BTC. Batten recalls the 2021 episode where Elon Musk, influenced by media reports, declared Tesla would više ne prihvatam BTC payments. He quotes analyst Willy Woo, saying, “This, more than the Kina zabraniti, was the event that halted Bitcoin’s 2021 bull run.”
The involvement of Ripple Founder Chris Larsen in anti-Bitcoin campaigns is highlighted as a notable example of the intertwined interests between traditional financial players and digital currency policies. Batten points out, “Larsen’s $5M donacija to GreenpeaceUSA for an anti-Bitcoin campaign is a clear conflict of interest, overlooked by mainstream media.”
Bitka je daleko od kraja
Despite the alleged efforts by Central Banks, BTC has shown resilience. Batten remarks, “Not everything of course went to play. Bitcoin was not supposed to rally 150% after ECB’s ‘Bitcoin’s Last Stand’ obituary late last year.” Moreover, BTC was not supposed to gain support from institutions like KPMG i BlackRock, contradicting the central banks’ narrative.
In conclusion, Batten emphasizes the critical crossroads at which the future of digital currencies stands. He urges support for organizations actively engaging with regulatory bodies and combating misinformation. “Supporting groups like the Open Dialogue Foundation, Bitcoin Policy UK, and the Satoshi Action Fund is crucial in countering the misinformation and shaping a future where digital currencies can thrive,” he advocates.
U vrijeme štampe, BTC se trgovao na 42,684 dolara nakon što je odbijen na ključnom otporu na 43,580 dolara.
