[QUOTE="nkm, post: 4900113, member: 90931"] "Hackers wouldn't use Bitcoin" is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Sure, it's not optimal for privacy such as a zk-SNARK coin (like zCash), or another privacy-focused coin like Monero, but Bitcoin is really considered the "stablecoin" of speculative cryptos at this point so it's generally the most widely used in terms of frequency for different applications. Plus, most people aren't thinking about using a zk-SNARK coin because they are somehow under the impression that Bitcoin is anonymous as a technology while it is NOT by design, there is blockchain analysis, transaction graph and social graph analysis, multiple side-channel attacks and many other ways to deanonymize a BTC user. Either that or they're holed-up in a non-extraditable county and it's easier for them to turn a large amount of BTC into such-and-such fiat currency. I don't disagree that it's possible the ransomware attack was a false flag, but I seriously doubt it as there's tons of companies and organizations who still willingly pay ransom with no resistance. For covid.. definitely a false flag or at the very least a major worldwide cover-up. [/QUOTE]
