Total value of Bitcoin at the moment is around 4BLN euro,
US annual military spending is almost 700BLN dollar.
What could they possibly be afraid of?
An interesting idea would be something called “TrillionCoin” whose sole purpose would be to outspend the US defense budget, like Reagan *claimed* to have bankrupted the soviets (not true at all) out of the cold war, perhaps TrillionCoin could bankrupt capital since it’s based solely on military power. Actually, all this is quite laughable because only 1/3 of world economy is visible, 2/3 are illegal things done on transnational scale: arms & drugs. The rest of the scraps we are arguing over (mortgages, loans, tuition, bla) are really nothing in comparison to the amount of invisible commerce done at high levels, and this is what provokes fear of bitcoin, the fear that another invisible economy could exist in parallel to the “official” invisible economy.
