The media effort to link BITCOIN to EXTREMIST groups

Oh gosh, it's not even 2018 yet, and one of my top 10 predictions for 2018 has already come true!
I'm recording this before January 1.
In fact, I'm recording this on the day that the Washington Post has put out a story trying to discredit Bitcoin by linking it to so-called, quote, extremist groups, which, you know, according to the Washington Post, would be Anybody who, let's say, celebrates Christmas or maybe a church or something like that, but they're linking Bitcoin to extremist groups.
Now, this was one of my top 10 predictions.
I said that 2018 is the year that governments cracked down on crypto.
And I said specifically in that prediction story, and in a previous podcast, by the way, that governments would try to link Bitcoin to terrorists or extremists type of groups or money launderers.
What else did I mention?
Like sex traffickers.
What else?
I don't know.
I gave a bunch of examples.
And sure enough, Washington Post turns around like days later, just a few, like two days later, And writes the story that I told you that they would write.
This playbook is so obvious.
Remember, I'm the guy who successfully and accurately predicted President Trump's victory.
And I've also predicted a Bitcoin collapse because of the way that Bitcoin will be attacked by the establishment.
Not that there's, you know, anything wrong with cryptocurrency.
I'm actually a supporter of crypto.
The idea of decentralized peer-to-peer currency is a pretty cool idea.
I kind of like the idea.
But Bitcoin has been overblown.
It's been overhyped.
It's in a bubble.
And the establishment is gunning for it now.
For the longest time, they didn't care about it because Bitcoin was so small.
It didn't really matter.
It's not going to threaten the central banks.
They have a monopoly on money.
But now it has awakened the giants in central banks and governments.
Who aren't, by the way, anti-cryptocurrency.
They're not against the idea of cryptocurrency either.
They just want to make sure that they control it.
And so, here's another prediction.
What you're actually seeing now with the Washington Post, which, let's just face it, is the propaganda branch of the CIA. Okay, let's just be honest about that.
So, the CIA WatchPost is setting the stage for the banning of non-official cryptocurrencies.
Mark my words.
In fact, I'm recording this on...
What is it?
December 28th, 2017.
A couple days before the new year, the establishment, including the CIA, the NSA, and the mainstream media, which again is basically just an extension of the deep state, is going to discredit cryptocurrency as a run-up,
a preparation to roll out an official government-sanctioned crypto that We've called in the past maybe FedCoin or NSACoin or whatever you want to call it, AmeriCoin.
It's going to be an official government-sanctioned cryptocurrency where, of course, the government and the NSA control the blockchain, which means you give up all secrecy.
It's over.
Every transaction is tracked.
Your savings are known by the government.
Your wallet has to be linked to an identity.
This is going to be the crypto that the government gets behind and that the media gets behind, and they're going to say, that's the cryptocurrency that is safe and honest and legal, which means all the other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are going to be positioned as funding terrorists,
which again I predicted, or Being associated with extremist groups or child sex traffickers or rapists or whatever, extortionists, kidnapping, ransom groups, whatever.
It's so obvious.
This playbook is so obvious.
By the way, South Korea has also cracked down on crypto.
They've announced that they're going to be shutting down, essentially at gunpoint, some of the Bitcoin exchanges in South Korea because, they say, it's become an irrational hysteria, which is true.
But is that a sufficient reason for government to shut it down?
You notice that the government doesn't shut down Wall Street when Wall Street becomes an irrational hysteria, do they?
No.
They say buy more.
When the government's trying to sell more treasury bonds, even though the government itself is $20 trillion in debt, i.e.
completely bankrupt, hopelessly bankrupt, You don't hear the government warning people that buying treasury bonds is irrational because the government can't pay them back in the long run.
You don't hear that kind of warning going on, do you?
No, the warning is selective for Bitcoin.
It's so obvious.
This playbook is so obvious.
Mark my words, the day is coming where it's going to be said that if you use Bitcoin, you're a bad person.
You're an evil person.
That's going to be the narrative.
Oh, you must be running with the The drug runners and the gun runners and the sex trade runners and the human trafficking and the body parts, black market, organ swapping Bitcoin culture, whatever.
They're just going to throw it all in there.
Oh, you must be a racist.
Racists use Bitcoin.
The KKK used Bitcoin one time.
Somebody in KKK bought something with Bitcoin.
Therefore, Bitcoin is totally racist.
That's what's coming.
It's already begun.
Washington Post has begun that narrative today.
Which I predicted days before.
So, if you're in Bitcoin right now, and I've repeated this warning many times, you might want to think about looking for the exits.
Because it's like, Bitcoin is like a giant community of people who are practicing FOMO. You know what FOMO is?
It's fear of missing out.
FOMO. Not YOLO. That's you only live once.
FOMO is fear of missing out.
And there's a bunch of FOMOs in Bitcoin, which is like a crowd of people inside a giant rave club where all the exits have been blocked except one.
And they're partying down and they're all taking ecstasy and they're just tripping out with LED lights and music.
The beat is good.
They're jamming down and whatever.
And then all of a sudden...
So there's a fire, and everybody heads for the exits, but you can't get out.
And 500 people burn up, as happened not so long ago in California, by the way, at some kind of nightclub thing.
I don't know what it was.
Some weird cult going on there.
They had a warehouse.
They blocked the exits.
The thing went up in flames.
And sadly, a bunch of people died.
So that's what's going to happen with Bitcoin, you know, metaphorically.
People won't be able to get out because the exits are too small for the number of people wanting to use the exits.
Mad rush to sell.
That's when it's going to plummet.
And believe me, the establishment is setting this up.
Setting it up.
And people buying in right now are the greater fools.
They're the suckers who are going to lose everything because Bitcoin is backed by nothing.
Bitcoin is insured by nothing.
All these people who are used to having a bank account where if someone steals your bank account, you call up the bank.
Say, someone stole my money.
And if you can show that...
The bank was hacked or your account was stolen or someone broke into the ATM, you get your money back.
Or you can call your credit card company.
Someone stole my credit card, bought $20,000 worth of TVs or LED screens, whatever.
You get your money back, right?
Everybody's used to getting their money back.
Well, Bitcoin, you don't get it back.
When it craters, it's gone.
It's gone.
And that's what's coming.
It's going to be discredited.
It's going to be dragged through the mud.
People who are into Bitcoin right now are going to get hurt by design.
I can see the playbook.
I can see it.
That's why I shared my prediction with you publicly, because I don't want you to get hurt.
That's all.
That's my only motivation behind this, is I don't want you to get hurt.
If you rode Bitcoin all the way up from where it was at a dollar a Bitcoin years ago, then you've done pretty well.
You might want to cash out.
You invested a dollar, you got back, I don't know, $15,000.
That's a pretty good run.
You might want to cash out and make it real before Bitcoin goes back to a dollar or zero or wherever it's going.
Just something to think about.
I don't want you to get hurt.
I want you to play it safe.
I can see this playbook This narrative being played out by the establishment, it's so transparent.
It's so easy to see.
I can tell you exactly what's coming.
I can tell you all of this, but unless you take action, you know, you can still get hurt by it.
So think carefully about what you're doing, and every time that you see the mainstream media attacking Bitcoin, know that this is part of a very deliberate plan.
They're coming for Bitcoin.
They're going to crash Bitcoin.
They're going to criminalize Bitcoin.
And they're going to herd everybody into a government-run cryptocurrency that they, the establishment, control.
And then you will have no privacy.
You will have no anonymity.
You will be taxed without your consent because they can strip away balances from your crypto wallets without you even knowing it.
And then you have to prove that you should get it back if you dispute them taking it from you.
They'll just take it.
And then you have to prove it to get it back.
It's like asset forfeiture run by the government because they run the blockchain.
That's what's coming.
Get ready.
In the meantime, check out my websites.
I've got bitraped.com, spelled just like it sounds, and also risk.news, risk.news, which covers stock market and financial risk in general.
It's worth taking a look.
