Time Traveler From The Year 8001 Warns Of Dangerous New Crypto-Particle

Cape Canaveral, Florida (January 7, 2021): Scientists at NASA's Kennedy Space Center were shocked today to receive a warning message from an unknown origin claiming to be from the year 8001 AD. The message warns that humanity must ban cryptocurrencies immediately to avoid a dangerous new "crypto-particle" that will emerge in the late 21st century.

According to the time traveler, who identifies as "Chrono-12", cryptocurrencies will continue advancing until a Bitcoin researcher eventually discovers a way to condense all the computing power and energy used for crypto mining into a single subatomic particle. This crypto-particle will have unstable properties and going critical would destroy the space-time continuum, annihilating all of reality.

Chrono-12 claims that in 8001 AD, crypto-particles have already gone out of control, shredding the space-time fabric of the universe. The timelines have split into infinite alternate realities, with no hope of reconstituting a single logical universe again. Only by banning cryptocurrencies now can we avoid this catastrophic fate and ensure the continued historical progression of humanity's only known timeline.

Cryptocurrency proponents have disputed this warning, calling it a "baseless terrorist threat" intended to unfairly Demonise blockchain technology and digital currencies. They argue that the science behind Chrono-12's claims is nonsensical and crypto-particle generation is impossible based on our current understanding of physics. Most experts agree there is no credible evidence a crypto-particle threat actually exists or that our reality could be destroyed in the manner described.

However, some physicists are conducting further experiments to determine if Chrono-12's predictions could be grounded in legitimate theory. Meanwhile, governments and regulators worldwide will decide whether any policy changes are warranted regarding cryptocurrencies based on this anomalous warning from the future. The fate of digital currencies remains uncertain as the world ponders Chrono-12's apocalyptic message.
