agreed, though i believe dismissing the vote as purely those things is failry elitist.

more to the point, the general rocking of the boat means money dries up all over the planet and experimental new things like bitcoin suddenly don't have the same amount of money pouring into the space.

i think we really get ahead of ourselves when we consider bitcoin to be something like gold that gets bought up when traditional finance loses people's confidence.

eventually, yes, but right now? no way. we're still a baby.

edit: always remember - the internet grew like it did because times were good. it was way off the ground before 2007/2008.
