Bitcoin is in trouble

[nydiacaskey01]

Paying a ransom is just tolerating funding the business of hacking for future victims and perhaps another attack on same company. But i guess they have to pay since its the medical records that are at stake.

ransoms were being paid long before bitcoin was created with cash, cash was not in trouble so bitcoin will not be in any trouble either.

The real issue with this is the hospital itself funding the hacker. This way, more hackers get encourage of doing the same (with the expectation of getting what they want). Wrong move IMO and they should have tried to find the hacker instead but now his gone but there's no assurance that he won't do it again in some time soon...

I agree with you man. As long as people pay a ransom then game logic shows that it will happen again. This is why the U.S. faces far less kidnapping than other nations. We do not pay, and in some cases it is illegal to pay a ransom. For example if DAESH used crypto-locker you could not pay them.

OK

Is this reliable info or just trololo?
I just don't understand why did they attack hospital this is very unethical and bad!
Maybe the hospital’s CEO, Allen Stefanek is involved somehow?
Hackers don't attack hospitals more likely corporations..

I would not dignify these people as "hackers". Maybe it's because I remember a time when hackers were heroes not vandals and thieves. We should not be at all surprised to see this. it's completely logical to ransom data and does not require some grand conspiracy. There may be millions of people who would do this for $17,000.

yeah is to so much "trouble" that bitcoin has 420 more value that dollar..

[BitcoinHodler]

this is an inevitable usage for bitcoin, just because it can be anonymous but i don't see why bitcoin is in trouble because of this. it is not the first time.

[Rotator]

Few very bad persons were performed this,
 if this is not inside job maybe?
What do you people think?

well there are not trillions of bitcoin in existence, i'm sure with that supply the value would be far worse than a dollar or euro, right now

this mean that bitcoin is massively undervalued

[SirLancelot]

I am not ready to believe this kind of news. No one can get bitcoin into trouble without any doubt. Paying 17.000$ to
hackers is good joke in my view....

[PakistanHockeyfan]

It's not in any trouble. I believe we are onto a good upcoming year if I do say so myself. Don't get discouraged.

Sometimes people are forced to pay ransom and it depends on how crucial the information was for the hospital. I know that paying a ransom is equally wrong and they could have taken the help of the police instead of fulfilling the hackers demands. In all this, a cryto currency is blamed for no reason.

It's not Bitcoin's fault people use it for malicious reasons but the inherent features of it make it possible to be used successfully in scams and extortions. It's not in danger if the gov wants to regulate it I think.

[Arkyo]

no they will not xDD bitcoin is safe and always best!!

Bitcoin is not in trouble!
Last week a few guys robbed a bank and left with a car.During the lam they killed a young man who was hit by that car.
Get cars banned? These guys used one it for robbery and killed a person with it!!

[CreativeCarol]

Not by a long shot. At the moment we have been progressing pretty well. My only concern is the way it comes across to most people. More people need to start educating themselves about it before they even try it and that's what's so aggravating.

What to trouble it You don’t have to worry about crossing borders, rescheduling for bank holidays, or any other limitations one might think will occur when transferring money.
You are in control of your money with Bitcoin. There is no central authority figure in the Bitcoin network.
