Financial advisor Jim Rickards thinks so. In a recent article titled, The Global Elites’ Secret Plan for Cryptocurrencies, he says,
“…the crypto-hysteria is distracting you from a scary truth no one is talking about. There is every indication that governments, regulators, tax authorities, and the global elite are moving in for the crypto-kill. The future of Bitcoin may be a dystopia in which Big Brother controls what’s called “the blockchain” and decides when and how you can buy or sell anything and everything. Furthermore, cryptocurrency technology could be the very mechanism used by global elites to replace the dollar based financial system.”
Rickards goes on to say “Blockchain does not exist in the ether (despite the name of one cryptocurrency) and it does not reside on Mars. Blockchain depends on critical infrastructure including servers, telecommunications networks, the banking system, and the power grid, all of which are subject to government control,” then lists a number of significant developments involving major banks, governments, and supra-governmental organizations like the IMF, all relating to their plans to legislate and control the use of blockchain technology, including its use in virtual currencies and financial transactions.
Can they really do that? Of course they can. In the mid-1800s, the U.S. government imposed a tax on banknotes issued by private banks driving them out of circulation; in 1933 the government made it illegal for private individual to own gold, requiring them to surrender their gold holdings in exchange for government sanctioned paper money at the arte of $20.67 per ounce of gold.
What will be the popular response to such measures against virtual currencies? Will people docilely comply, or will there arise massive disobedience and flaunting of the law, just as occurred in the 1930s during Prohibition, and has been ongoing more recently in the war against drugs? If there is such an uprising, I think it will be in defense, not of Bitcoin, but of some yet-to-be-created virtual currency that rewards virtuous behavior and contributions to the common good. –t.h.g.
Beyond Money 
For people to accept or reject the fraud pushed by the banking CABAL people has to understand it. In that respect the British movement POSITIVE MONEY is doing the right job enhancing awareness and even getting to discuss it in Parliament to make changes from the top.

Another interesting thread in the tangle of hundreds of such threads, in all domains of reality. CYBER is becoming a new thread effecting many other threads. Example: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/13/magazine/rt-sputnik-and-russias-new-theory-of-war.html?emc=edit_ma_20170915&nl=magazine&nlid=76672789&te=1 . Social media is but another CYBER thread. Now algorithms have Google and Facebook assisting racists target ads to those who want to “kill jews”, “burn jews”, etc. Equafax is hacked, what next? Are Russia and the USA in a MAD stalemate over cyber shutting down each other’s electrical grid? Are vote tallying systems secure, anywhere? Competent scammers are populating cyberspace and corruption is being made easy – some are too dumb and get caught.
