Emerging ‘conspiracy theories’ on possible stiffer conspired hostility on Bitcoin are beginning to be volleyed by crypto experts into their online channels. The alarms raise caution and discomfort over Bitcoin and the ecosystem’s future.

A close observation of the trends of over-regulation lately, to some extent, gives these conspiracies some benefit of the doubt.
