Nothing will slow Bitcoin's adoption now. It will grow regardless of what people say. The technology is so strong that it will win out by itself. If not Bitcoin, then another cryptocurrency. The idea is here to stay. What is dangerous is how it will grow. If Bitcoin grows completely in white market, becomes totally regulated and everything then we lose any power that we gained with Bitcoin. We have to stress and force its growth in the right direction otherwise the movement will become hijacked and amount to nothing useful whatsoever.
While I agree Bitcoin is gaining momentum, the "regulation is death" part is vastly overstated - If anything, it will provide the panacea that governments require to think they've "tamed" bitcoin - all the while it will eviscerate their controls and currencies.
Also, I've seen you referred to in interviews as a core bitcoin developer - could you please correct them on that point? Or at least point me to the submissions you have on GitHub to prove otherwise. I take a dim view of someone riding on the coattails of false credibility, regardless of how many bitcoin-centric projects you undertake.
