They all had to ramp down because their default unit of account is also a legal instrument bound by more regulations than a shark has teeth. Bitcoin doesn't suffer that shortcoming.

The fact is, the banking powers and their biggest vassal, the US government, will have little interest in calling attention to Bitcoin. If they communicate in any way, shape or form that Bitcoin is a threat, it will undermine their own game and strengthen Bitcoin's status as a currency and a commodity.

The EFF is just afraid of ticking off Paypal, Visa and Mastercard by taking bitcoin. IOW, they don't want to tick off the banks. They're not scared of the government. They've taken them to court frequently.

Bitcoin will continue to suffer the sneaky propaganda and disinfo tactics that are employed when something is to be marginalized. Expect a huge media splash about pedophiles or white slavery involving Bitcoin down the road, not a legal case.
