It hits the fan frequently, but i don't think it will ever happen in the widespread fashion everybody thinks. The elite have shifted gears from seething hatred and fear, trying a million different attack vectors to shut it down, to embracing their defeat and scrambling to increase their position in the aftermath of the financial apocalypse brought on by Bitcoin.

One of the things they have become really good at over the years is the systematic pushbutton mini-collapsing of geologically localized or market specific systems, and then conveniently becoming the heros, without whom recovery would have been impossible. Printing money is their favorite thing to do.

A number of very evil goldfinger-type real life villains are now positioned extremely well, such that they could easily finance that very same kind of crowd manipulation with Bitcoin. This is really scary, to me.

The sht hitting the fan doesn't go nearly as far as the sht being sprinkled onto the fan very gradually,.
