New York needs to realize that this revolution is going to happen. Eiter with or without them. The more they try to oppress and over-regulate it, the more we'll flee to other parts.

And everybody understands this whole BitLicense has nothing to do with the safety and wellbeing of New Yorkers, and everything with protecting the monopolies of powers that be.

That's true but A regulated market, even over regulated market, will do alot to push forward the bitcoin revolution since almost all businesses and financial investors would choose not to invest in btc using an unregulated entity.  A nyc based engaged does alot to improve bitcoin's image which will lead to faster addoption rates.  If btc goes mainstream it will change the word for the better but that can't happen without atleast  the tacit approval of regulators.

I've already moved all my funds from Poloniex because they were asking me for my name and surname to even trade in between cryptocurrencies, what a complete joke, i just entered a fake name and surname and got my ass out of there. They don't even want us to be private for crypto->crypto trading.

No problem for Bitcoin at all.

Look at this:

"Meet the one city in America where cars have been banned since 1898"  Grin

http://www.treehugger.com/culture/one-city-in-america-where-cars-have-been-banned-1898.html

No problem for automobiles at all. The small city is happy without cars, and cars are happy without Mackinac. Bitcoin will do just fine without NY.

(to be honest I think the Bitlicense thing will not survive if BTC becomes truly sucessful but even if it does survive, it won't affect BTC)

NY is still going to have bitcoin.  Gemini when it come online  will probabaly have more volume then any other exchange within 2 years if the twins can really attract institutional interest.  ITbit is already based out of NY.  People are blowing this out of proportion.

NY is the home of financial heavyweights and that's what they want to attract and retain. If the bitlicence only leaves well-funded players then that'll probably warm the cockles of their hearts.
