I disagree, the news doesnt primarily tie btc to hackers, but Twitter to gullible idiots that believe on getting something for nothing, it says nothing about the hackers, those dudes could have made two orders of magnitude more money if they wanted. It mostly talks about Twitter and its audience, thats the message sent on the DL I believe. Thats the real psyop payload.

I'm afraid that these type of hacking incidents will delay the wide-spread adoption of cryptocurrency. It doesn't help to have articles like the one below, which state "Bitcoin is an attractive target for scammers because it can be used worldwide".
Twitter Hackers Divert Bitcoin Spoils to Other Accounts
You have to admit that crypto IS an attractive medium for ransoms and scams in a cyber context, if not you are just delusional.
The widespread adoption of crypto is influenced by many factors, the least of which is (1)
the most important being, I assume, that the cryptosphere is even more filled with scams than the banking system its supposed to surmount.
Just because we think, rationally that the crypto tech would allow for a more decent system with less corruption, it doesnt mean that it does in the initial stages,
if not , just see the major players in the scene, Justin Sun and CZ and the latest issue with steem, wake up!
People who dislike cryptocurrencies don't care. So, this doesn't really matter. Anybody who takes the time to understand Bitcoin will find this hack to be funny. Bill Gates would never give people money.
exactly, this hack, ultimately is not about crypto, as you said, you can use other coins
Agreed
