The only conspiracy is the aim to taint the reputation of bitcoin at any cost. You can destroy bitcoin with propaganda as efficiently as you can destroy the technology it is based on, never underestimate the foolishness of the masses on a large scale, a bitcoin prohibition era fueled by the masses fear whereas people would actually beg the government to protect them from the horrors of bitcoin, even if it makes the lower classes starve and billions are spent on it while the debt is further increased.
"Do you really want your children to have the possibility of using such horrible services as X and Y on the deepnet which are only made possible with BTC? We must protect the children!" - Oh the children, their favorite tactic.
The tactics of endangerment and tactics of innocence are moves we will see, along with many more. This is the stage where they will throw everything at the bitcoin meme and see what sticks. The tactic most likely next in the barrel will be, "Didn't ya kill my brother?" made famous by the song sung by Alexi Sayle. Pick a fight over some impugned wrong, and play it for all it's worth, hoping to attract attention from strong opposition. Best to ignore the muckrakers and build up support with the newly attracted non-aligned forum members.
Many of the support sites, such as exchanges, merchants, and dealers are seeing reports of fraud at a staggering rate. This may be accurate, but we have no way of knowing without publicly airing disputes with basis/no basis, which again takes us off target.
This could be perfect opportunity for ambitious groups to consolidate and form a protective standards of the commons beyond the pale of moderation. A simple, "State of the Bitcoin Realm" daily without bias
and not devolved into rancor.
