1.) Unscrupulous bitcoiners. Thieves basically. 2.) Mining centralization 3.) Net Neutrality being compromised.

The biggest threat is surely running out of Bitcoin addresses. I dont think bitcoin can run out of address. Can they?

True enough but there is little we can do about the thieves so we need to just go on and do the best we can. As in any other industry.

Biggest threat is probably government regulations and banks. They can make it very frustrating to deal with Bitcoin, if they wanted to- which would probably prevent Bitcoin from going fully mainstream.
Screw'em! Go around them! This is the internet, after all!

This is actually a true threat to Bitcoin as more people use bitcoin, a lot of people who are not security conscious/tech savvy will use it and ultimately somehow lose their coins, either by theft or looking their keys. This could give bitcoin a bad rep

It's people's ambitions. This is very true. Sometimes people get blind with ambition and it's never a bad idea to have different views collaborating
