Scrutiny by regulatory bodies is bullish because either (1) legit operators emerge with government approval or (2) it becomes clear that the government is unable to control bitcoin.
It is still a prob with we are left with 1 or 2 legit operators but it turns out only ~5% of traders are legit (not involved in illegal stuff). 1 or 2 legit operators is all it will take to open the flood gates to the mainstream if it is revealed that only a small minority are 'legit' traders and the winklevii are solely responsible for bid-walling (start sept-oct 2012 thru feb 2013), then the mainstream will not give a crap about btc.

SEC might be just doing the bidding of DHS. There is less than a month until the 12th anniversary of September 11 2001. Those crazy muslim terrorists may be preparing something, and DHS is trying to cut down money supply routes to potential terrorists. Unfortunately for the BTC community, BTC can be used to fund terrorism, and honest traders get caught in the middle. Just a theory of mine...
The bulk of the money supply to terrorists is surely from Mid-East oil revenues siphoned off from governments there. 15 of the 20 9/11 hijackers were Saudi but somehow that was far too much of an inconvenience when it came to retaliation - which was then focused elsewhere.

I'm gonna laugh so hard when Gox comes up with faster transfers and everybody screwed themselves over by selling on a cheaper exchange.
