Don't fear the Reaper

It's certainly understandable why there's pushback from the usual financial cronies... and yes they have the highest lobbying group in the world... however, what they don't comprehend is that international interest trumps local regulations... While they could manipulate a delay in progress the truth is that this is what informed people want in their life... the benefits far exceed banking as usual [insert any revolution here]... then they have to fight 1 billion in investments from companies with big pockets.... they are not just going to roll over.
The tipping point of beneficial commerce has been reached beyond the boundaries any one regulating body.... with a global financial crises each country is looking to weather the storm and protect their piece... once the progressive advocates like Canada & UK start to see positive results the dominoes will fall.
I like our growth potential... what do you think?

Yeah, I like our growth prospects too!

We all need to understand that there's a reality that can't be completely changed without significant penalty to the organization or event that "rocked the boat" too hard. It's better for us to allow the financial market talking heads have their time to criticize and critique bitcoin's purpose, position, and staying power.

People usually vote with their wallets. Those of us that participate with bitcoin will bear it's rewards. Those that don't, won't.

That's perfectly fine for me, is it for you...?

While it is inevitable, it can be delayed.
Financial dinosaurs might succeed in extending status-quo for some more time. That might be enough to satisfy them.
