There is plenty of evidence. It's something adversarial thinkers in Bitcoin came up with as early as 2010.

It's the fiat endgame attack, where fiat is printed to be lost on CEX, as it is more profitable to burn some useless fiat shit tokens as long as the general public still trusts in it in order to keep a dangerous nascent alternative currency from growing (gaining publicity).

BTC is not a danger to the state. It was in its early days.
