There is still a few big decisions to be made. It is lurking upward cause way more people are in it now than 3 months ago and people are learning more and more each day.
A few more bombs like the Chinese dropped the other day might happen. Like EU and/or US doing the same official statement. But they cant ban it and media can badmouth it only for short while until people loose interest.
The main thing is general feeling of usability. Like the article about the doctor who lets his patients pay using bCoin to remain anonymous. Adult industry would be another great move.
Ignoring the occasional bad mouth campaign by mass-media brainwashing campaigns I think things are progressing rather nicely.
Once Google opens its exchange the price will skyrocket and remain there cause it will be mega usable and available, LOL!
I just hope the Google guys are sitting on a few tens of thousands to motivate them. (or maybe that would be insider trading... Oh wait its still not regulated! hint hint)
