Like I said, Whitney Webb and Edward Snowden say some scary stuff about the possible future of Bitcoin, mostly about loss of privacy (and thus, indirect government control and surveillance).
the possibility of the future may or may not happen. so for now just enjoy your life with the Bitcoins you have (if you have them).
actually, there is no need to be afraid of anything that will happen in the future. the reality is that currently, many people are benefiting from Bitcoin. Its users are increasing and its popularity is increasing. Maybe some beginners are afraid it will make them panic. and that's what frustrates many novice investors.
