For those who do not go to other subforums of bitcointalk.org, like me, this might be of interest.

Especially identities of the speakers and topics that will be tackled show that only the 1% of bitcoin economy that is Silkroad and other crime (the other 99% being speculation and asic payments) is considered.

...
 Bit‐Coin – one of the better known virtual
currencies ‐ has been in news recently because of the wild fluctuations in its
“value” and also significant venture capital investment in entities associated
with it. How are policy makers,regulators and overseers approaching this?
What are the threats and opportunities associated with this new payment

why? why must you put the word value in quotes?

anyway...

Bottom line is Mr. WorldBank called up all his friends to talk about. "virtual currencies"

how is that bearish?


will one of them show off his Physical bitcoin during the coffee break?!

Recognition, in some semi official way. As long as everything is operating in a legal gray area it can never be taken serious by anybody but private individuals. But companies or "legal persons" if you will need some boundaries.  That these are established now, which is very soon makes this bullish.

Oh, that explains why you incorrectly think the following:

[...] the 1% of bitcoin economy that is Silkroad and other crime (the other 99% being speculation and asic payments) [...]

Go read elsewhere in the forum and learn about bitcoin, its uses, its many applications, the thousands of businesses that support it, the VC money being invested, the dozens of apps being developed via bitcoin crowdfunding! It will give you a warm fuzzy feeling and you'll stop wasting all your time here FUDding 

I think people should learn about bitcoin before they attempt to use it or speculate as to its value. If you spend all your time in speculation, you're fucked
