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?

Bitcoin is something that even if it falls (which I don't think will happen) It's legacy will stay around, the block-chain will still be around. As people say, you can't kill an idea.
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.
Yes it is true that Bitcoin is used for illegal purposes, but this is an isolated incident. More people will know about the cryptocurrency in the future and there will be less and less incidents like this.
Recently it has met with a great problem due to the hackers who get involved in hacking and demand bitcoin, so to have no proof of transaction. If such incident there needs a higher security advancement.
This is easy to solve guys. Just give the FBI a master encryption key, what could possibly go wrong? Or are you some kind of iPhone using terrorist?
Yes it is a shame that bitcoin was involved in such an attack and may even have made it possible in the first place. No it is not going to put bitcoin into trouble.
An attack like this is always possible, the only thing that bitcoin helps in is them getting paid without the police/feds being on their heels as soon as they collect it.
Luckily the amount asked is even fairly reasonable compared to the 3 million the other day. Ofcourse I do NOT condone this type of things. It is never ok to potentially gamble peoples lives over this.

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!!

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.
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.

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.
Ah! Problem is part of btc interest IS not being controled :/
no they will not xDD bitcoin is safe and always best!!

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.
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.
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....

yeah is to so much "trouble" that bitcoin has 420 more value that dollar.. 
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
Few very bad persons were performed this,
if this is not inside job maybe?
What do you people think?

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.
