This is pretty interesting. It is amazing that bitcoin is more popular than the original internet in terms of VC investment!

Yeah, but dont forget that the can cool down just as fast.
Those regulations are coming in just the right time if you ask me, allowing speculators a bit less uncertinty of their investments,
so that mt.gox never happens again.

The regulations are trying to stop another version of MtGox from happening again.

Generally investment does not slow down at a rapid pace unless there is some kind of shock to the economy or a shock to the sector that is being invested in.

information gets around much quicker these days than the early days of the internet... perhaps because of the help from the internet itself.

Very good sign, the following few years should see the soar of bitcoin

Bitcoin price soaring everyday by almost 1%.. Its not far that the price will reach $1,000 dollar by the end of the year..

Hmm...It might be soaring for you, but the last 2 weeks for everyone else it has gone down roughly $30 dollars since 2 weeks ago..

Big retailers accepting BTC. It remains to be seen whether they do that because they actually like bitcoin or want it to succeed, or they just want to hitch a ride on the media-bandwagon

Bitcoin will be great in the future.
Not sure about the other Alts though.

I have a few critiques regarding this article.

I don't think merchant adoption will hit 100k businesses by December 2014; the plateauing tail at the end of the graph says otherwise to me, but at least 60-70k seems reasonable to me. And I would like to see the investment trend stacked up against the pre-".com" bubble (i.e. 1997-1998) rather than 1995; in my eyes, bitcoin is not in its infancy anymore so it needs a more comparable fit to get a stronger feel for "historical" baseline growth.

Nonetheless, I agree with the general spirit of this article; the future for bitcoin is much brighter (in a not-so-crazy fervor sort of way) than it has ever been.
