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

Even in the event that an attacker gains more than 50% of the network's computational power, only transactions sent by the attacker could be reversed or double-spent. The network would not be destroyed.

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

Could you elaborate a bit?
