short answer no, just a little crisis due to the price being low/many lost huge amount of money because they bought at the peak, taxes being a problem, and other small stuff
just a despair phase that is very long apparently
It's really gone "off the radar" since the BTC boom...
It's definitely not high in public awareness right now. It is getting attention from the people who count. Witness the amount of VC investment and the financial institutions starting to investigate possibilities. A lot is going on while the wider world is pretty oblivious. That counts for a lot more in the long run.
