One thing is for sure. Bitcoin is being clamped down on. In a major way. Coinbase just recently now requires under the FinCEN deal that you provide government issued ID; in addition to all the previous "requirements" which require a "wait" period now while they "background check" the ID provided.

This shouldn't be a surprise. There's no way the governments and authorities were just going to sit back and let people launder money through bitcoins and avoid paying taxes. Regulations shouldn't be feared but be seen as a part of the natural evolution of bitcoin going mainstream.
