Someone used a gun to shoot up a school. Damnit, now congress is going to ban guns...

Small difference is guns have the NRA, the most powerful lobby in the US, while bitcoin lobby is... ummm..

Bitcoin is absolutely not in trouble, it will only get bigger and more accepted.
That is my thoughts as well. There are more positive coverage of bitcoin at present in the main stream media.

It's going to take more than that... but there doesn't seem to be any reason to think this is going to stop. People will get better at backing up data, but there will be large targets for a long time to come. And regular people will continue to be victimized. In the short run, ironically, it probably has helped bitcoin by increasing demand. But I agree that it is likely at some point congress will come down hard on bitcoin. Of course it can't eliminate bitcoin from the planet, but they can make it difficult enough for the average person to use that the price crashes and it is pushed mostly underground. People always think some aspect is outside of the governments reach but the gov't usually surprises people by eventually going after these things and damaging them severely.
And lets be honest, if bitcoin wasn't available these kinds of widespread ransom attacks would be much, much more difficult to pull off on this scale. Bitcoin isn't just some add on but an integral aspect of the hacker's strategy.
Hackers terrorists ,bad people used force to take fiat money,and keeps happening banks being stolen,ask money to let a parent alive and return,the thing is being asked in bitcoin or fiat we are all in risk.
I don't know why is bitcoin in trouble ?
After Silk road > there is no troubles!
Wrong name for topic better try with this one:
Idiots robbed hospital as ransom they asked for bitcoins..something like that!
By this way bitcoin is no longer evil companion..

yet another media crap in desperate attempt to make bitcoin look bad. i wonder when they are going to sop.
never, have they ever stopped blaming russia? muslims? chinese ? they are never going to stop.
Bitcoin is not in trouble that much I think. I think Bitcoin will have a good future. And that will be good for Bitcoin.
We also hope later that it will be more worth later so it will be have a higher value. Maybe it is now time to invest in Bitcoin.

what basis do you have to make such a claim?
If it's cheaper to pay for ransom than to up one's security something is majorly going wrong. But not with Bitcoin. Just wait until the next hacker will ask for double or quadruple the sum. Insane message to criminals out there to give into demands of any form of blackmailing.

And now it seems that the Feds got track of the hacker who didi this and already arrested him. Unfortunately, it's well deserved because this sort of situations are the ones who give bitcoin a bad name.
Where did you read about this? Can you provide a link to the story?
Hospitals are in trouble. BTC isn't, but this is a really sad sign of the horror of our times. Bad guys used to attack banks. Could we have imagine a generation ago that criminals would attack hospitals? Happily, considering the pay of top doctors and surgeons, ransom was quite low.
Hospitals should get their IT in order.. In this era it is not responsible to have a crappy IT department and security in place for a company as big as a hospital. Especially when they are dealing with sensitive information.
Who says they could've only encrypted the files? Next time they may steal the files and threaten to release thousands of sensitive personal information from the patients. This is something that should never happen and hospitals should step up and improve their cyber security for this reason.
it is normalistic if bitcoin is in trouble. everything has in trouble but it's not mean that it will be finished.
It seem that there is constantly something negative in the news about bitcoin. But it seem that it isn't really hurting it.
Bitcoin is not in trouble, just a bit of bad press - what is new for Bitcoin? Constantly dodging bad press and manages to come out fine. This story is very strange and seems like a direct target to Bitcoin rather than the issue at hand.

Bitcoin isn't going anywhere...the price just jumped and I think will continue to trend upwards.

No, it can't happen . Bitcoin is here to stay and it is not the property of any government to control it. Let's hope it stays always and grow .
And even if the US gov't banned bitcoin outright, the US is still only one country out of many. But it would not be a good trend. But hey, the price is going up pretty good in the last few days, eh?I'm pretty sure that if the US decided to ban Bitcoin it would be pretty much done. Especially if the whole media start linking it to illegal business and terrorism financing.
