Tinfoil hat time, but this seriously bugs me.

We're on the brink of stock market collapse yet again, is it possible that the ruling economy, banks, governments and so on, try to kill off BTC and thus our market as far as possible so nobody gets the idea to jump into crypto as a safe haven. Because strong BTC during a financial crisis would seriously endanger traditional stock markets and our current economic system. Actually BTC emerged from the previous financial collapse 2008 and if you think about it, shouldnt this be the time for BTC and cryptocurrencies to prosper and stand against banks and our current financial system? Somehow it seems to me all the FUD and the sudden "invitation of normies" by the media in december led to all this, it even managed to take a lot of trust and split up the crypto community a bit. I've been around 4chan since about 2009 and know about BTC from here since then aswell. Just a thought.
