What will be our next Bitcoin boogeyman?

[gentlemand]

It seems to be human nature to present a looming threat on the horizon that's coming to Get Us. When I was a nipper it was acid rain, then AIDS, then the Ozone and then I really couldn't give a shit any more.

Similarly the scalability monster is what is currently stalking Bitcoinland and scoffing innocent villagers. MMM seems to have gone a bit quiet for now. China bans are currently dormant.

What do you think will be the next great disaster awaiting us?

China bans for what? for MMM?

[Amph]

. China bans are currently dormant.

China bans for what? for MMM?

No, this was late 2013, early 2014. They restricted banking for Chinese exchanges. They then went on TV parading people who'd lost their shirts on Bitcoin but forget to remind viewers that they were responsible for it.

I think Bitcoin is one of the best things ever created by "Western civilization" (Japan, China, Russia are included) ... well let's call it "Modern civilization" I hope it's clear what I mean. And Bitcoin is a harmonious part of it.

So IMO the biggest Bitcoin boogeyman would be the same Boogeyman which is for Modern civilization - the total destruction of it or replacing by something entirely different where Bitcoin along with many other pleasant to us things will have no place at all.

Beh if it will be disaster no one of us will survive. So better to speak about risks and not about disasters. According to me the biggest risk that is and it will be even for much time from now for the normal being named homo sapiens is the fundamentalism. Especially the muslym one. By using the poverty and the impossibility to have a normal education of massive people in the poor countries, various monsters and perverts of every kind, use the religion to deform their psyches making them simply "tools" to create fear, terror and uncertainty in places which arouse envy to them. Normally and mainly the developed ones. But not only those. This kind of risk will last net few and will be hard to be fight. Because their way of action is not human and crooked. And as such, very difficult to be fight.

You are correct, but you are completely missing the largest form of fundamentalism:
