Speculations Indicate Bitcoin To Face Intensified Government Conspired Opposition
Emerging ‘conspiracy theories’ on possible stiffer conspired hostility on Bitcoin are beginning to be volleyed by crypto experts into their online channels. The alarms raise caution and discomfort over Bitcoin and the ecosystem’s future.
As suggested by the Chief Strategy Officer of CoinShares, Meltem Demirors, the attacks are as imminent as a few months from now. However, she boldly indicated they are different from those ever witnessed: contrived and “much more aggressive.”

A close observation of the trends of over-regulation lately, to some extent, gives these conspiracies some benefit of the doubt.

A China-America United Attack
Government-backed institutions of different states, in turn, over the weeks, have been assassinating Bitcoin with weak-narrative. And self-serving seeming fear-mongering, which had seen cryptocurrencies plummeting overnight.

The first was an impending announcement by China, followed by a continuous drip of smear by the US Treasury Secretary-Janet Yellen, with other states’ institutions the following suit on a similar line of action.
The Communist government of China, on its part, banned financial institutions and payment companies from providing services related to cryptocurrency transactions.
The ulterior-motive proclamation warned investors against speculative crypto trading. Thus, leading to a fall in the digital coin price before recovering a bit below the $40,000 mark.
Elon’s Rhetorics And Yellen’s Warning
Bitcoin has also seen some hostile visits on it by Elites such as Tesla boss-Elon Musk. His avalanche of misleading Twitter rhetorics has been significant pressure on bitcoin.
As rightly said by Meltem Demirors, some indices such as that of US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s unjustifiable warning about the dangers of Bitcoin show there are attempts to hyperinflate the price to discourage investors.
