Nah, the mainstream media has made surprisingly little mention of Bitcoin in their reporting of the ransomware attacks and it doesn't matter - it's just another crime that people can commit with Bitcoin if they want to.
Bitcoin isn't even the best thing to use for these attacks - Monero and other anonymous alts would ultimately be much better choices.
If anything, the price will go up because of people buying Bitcoin to pay their ransoms
I agree with the fact that the media has made little mention of bitcoins, but the media is something and security stuff is other thing.Bitcoin isn't even the best thing to use for these attacks - Monero and other anonymous alts would ultimately be much better choices.

the price will go up instantly but when this end Government will begin take serious decisions about bitcoin and its users/holders
