There are 100 threads like this. Why make another? Who cares. Someone just got kidnapped and they demanded USD. Now I hate USD. I can no longer use any currency because someone traded it for heroine. I'm totally screwed.
Will anyone trade a cow, 14 eggs, 2 chickens 2 goats, 4 pigs and a half decent wife for a car? I can't use monies. They r evil.

Could this be a false flag to make it look as if BTC is a currency only to be used by criminals?
i think if this was 2 years ago then you were right. but at this point in time we are way past that because to put simply there are a lot more good news about bitcoin than there are bad ones.
and with all of these good ones i doubt the number of people who think bitcoin is bad (a currency only to be used by criminals) are anything more than a handful.
Ransomware usually ask btc for payment and it happen from long time already, it is not effect for bitcoin maybe because bitcoin community already smart and even bitcoin usually used for bad activity too. it is not matter for community and price
Why you think this will make BTC look bad to the masses 
I never typed, nor said that.
I simply asked for thoughts.... One way or another.
Cheers!
For me the concern is how we will react. Will people learn to resist cyberattacks by deploying crypto defensively? I hope so. A network of hardened nodes would make the internet stronger and more resilient. But I worry that a fearful reaction would result in an attempt to create a closed, policed Internet. One that takes cryptography away from people to "protect them".
Does this make BTC look bad to the masses.....
Why you think this will make BTC look bad to the masses It's not bitcoin that have enabled this hackers to put this ransomeware in computers worldwide, NSA must be blamed for this and windows for not warning their users about this vulnerability. 
Well it's definitely not a giant conspiracy to make Bitcoin look bad, it's just some bastards using Bitcoin. They will use it just like how many bastards use physical cash. Doesn't make it any worse for legal transactions anyway.
The mainstream media have covered Bitcoin surprisingly little after the ransomware attacks, and barely even mention it in the articles except for in passing. Actually, it's very surprising how much their coverage of Bitcoin has matured over the past few years.
More understanding will come with time. Problems like this are barely even setbacks.
