i see future like this: we are sending demands to banks and governemts to force them to accept bitcoin and allow us to buy, sell or even store them in some cases at banks. And they have no other choice than to accept this.

i think its the only way for them to survive, besides whats wrong in buying bitcoin from bank when they will send them to you? they will take they fee for sure but as mtgox and others.

I've already thought a way round this kind of regulation and government activity actually, instead of buying the paper money direct, people could trade BTC for gold/silver instead and then sell that legally on the market without them any the wiser, if you were clever enough you could even wait for the paper value of the gold/silver to rise and get more for your money.

Banned how? Many banks already block all kinds of bitcoin trading, thats one reason why we should NOT use bank accounts. Use the Bitcoin infrastructure - avoid banks!

Im more worried they will target companies based in us that deal in bitcoin or bitcoin minning only. Its why i havent invested in any company based in the US.

Probably right; in the US the $ (USD) is like a holy grail, other than f.i. the € in the EU. Challenging the holy grail is a sacrilege!
