Bancos Centrais se unem para ‘enfraquecer’ Bitcoin: Nova pesquisa revela
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.
Em uma exposição detalhada compartilhada via X (antigo Twitter), Batten estabelecido: “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.”
Segundo Batten, esta medida da Comissão Europeia faz parte de uma estratégia mais ampla que tem implicações globais. Ele destacou: “A ESMA, trabalhando em estreita colaboração com o BCE, sinalizou que, assim que o relatório for aceite na UE, irão pressionar para que se torne o padrão em outras nações”.
Coordinated Attack Against Bitcoin
Linking the current scenario to the aftermath of the Crise financeira global (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 não aceita mais BTC payments. He quotes analyst Willy Woo, saying, “This, more than the Proibição da China, was the event that halted Bitcoin’s 2021 bull run.”
O envolvimento de 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 $5M doação to GreenpeaceUSA for an anti-Bitcoin campaign is a clear conflict of interest, overlooked by mainstream media.”
A batalha está longe de terminar
Despite the alleged efforts by Central Banks, BTC has shown resilience. Batten remarks, “Not everything of course went to play. Bitcoin was not supposed to rally 150% after ECB’s ‘Bitcoin’s Last Stand’ obituary late last year.” Moreover, BTC was not supposed to gain support from institutions like KPMG e BlackRock, contradicting the central banks’ narrative.
In conclusion, Batten emphasizes the critical crossroads at which the future of digital currencies stands. He urges support for organizations actively engaging with regulatory bodies and combating misinformation. “Supporting groups like the Open Dialogue Foundation, Bitcoin Policy UK, and the Satoshi Action Fund is crucial in countering the misinformation and shaping a future where digital currencies can thrive,” he advocates.
Até o momento, o BTC era negociado a US$ 42,684 depois de ser rejeitado na resistência principal de US$ 43,580.
