I have never seen a boom and bust that wasn't perpetuated by government involvement. Bitcoin is immune from such things.

Tomorrow, the UK & USA decide to make investing in Bitcoin illegal, punished by life imprisonment.
Suddenly, Bitcoin crashes and becomes obsolete. Government wins.
Just because you think it would be unethical to do so, doesn't mean that the Government CAN'T and WON'T do something so dramatic.. I'll expect to see very strict regulation when companies start dealing in BTC more frequently and the governments catch wind that companies aren't paying tax. I expect that companies will be required to publicly disclose all bitcoin addresses they own to the government - and so the government will get involved.
