> Tweets were about bitcoin, therefore broad public was not the target of the attack. No. Bitcoin was used because it's the only way to get money without being tracked (hence why drug dealers and even hitmen use it). The rest of your argument is all speculation. Nobody knows what would've happened, so you can't convince anyone you're right, just like no one can convince you you're wrong. I will just say that with the current distrust of Russia/China and in recent years, the US becoming an "unreliable" ally for Europe, a few tweets from a President and perhaps some other senior members of Government could easily have started a disastrous series of events (if unlikely to cause war directly).
