The thing about the elites is that they take a crisis and make it their own in order to subjugate. The black panther movement was a problem until the CIA stepped in and ruined their reputation with fake colouring books depicting hatred. Political parties and movements are routinely usurped.

My guess is that bitcoin is the ultimate double edge sword to the powers that be - on the one hand they cant track the money, but on the other is creates a world without physical cash, which is also important especially in our current global economic situation. Governments around the world want to abolish cash - and bitcoin is a great intermediary to creating that mentality.
