How can BTC be manipulated or taken down. We know the US Fed printers are working overtime to print fiat money devaluing the US dollar. What nefarious process could manipulate BTC (please do free-associate here with ie. malicious virus infecting BTC networks etc)

Bitcoin has the CIA's fingerprints all over it. How much will it be worth when the internet is shut down "for our safety". Just remember all investing is just gambling in a suit. Study very very hard before you invest in anything. Get to know the product you are buying inside out. Make a plan of exactly the price you will sell if it goes up or if it all goes Pete Tong. Stick to that plan every single time and you have a good chance of a decent profit. Cultivate the mind and the wallet will fill itself!

You've missed the most important argument--the one you'll never see expressed in the mainstream media:

Bitcoin isn't actually Bitcoin.

The Bitcoin you think of as Bitcoin (per its own white paper) ended in 2017. What you have now you could call Blockstream Coin or GregCoin (after its proponent Greg Maxwell). But certainly not Bitcoin as it no longer conforms to its own definition--again per its own white paper which I suggest you read if only the first couple pages.

As a result of certain calculated changes the system previously known as Bitcoin is no longer capable of fulfilling its promise as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system with the capacity to change the world for the better and should in no way be promoted as such.

For a short history of what occurred in 2017 and prior watch this short video "Why Blockstream destroyed Bitcoin" https://youtu.be/0BZoKH-hX_o and "How The Banks Bought Bitcoin | Lightning Network" https://youtu.be/UYHFrf5ci_g

Outstanding article. Thank you for that. A keeper for sure. Interesting things I hadn't thought of. Scary, but exciting times. Sooo grateful hubby got him lots of bitcoin in 2012. It's been a fun ride since his orig investment was so minimal. If he'd paid more, the hair pulling would have been awful up to this point. Kept it all in, never sold, just let it ride.
