Abut bitcoin poker sites dropping from the market - it is only because they have poor user base. Mainly because humongous sites like Pokerstars, Full Tilt, 888poker, iPoker and others.
The userbase is beneficial in one way, though. A lot of bad poker players can be seen in the bitcoin scene - though it may be selection bias - and that could be an advantage to playing in bitcoin poker sites. The skill must be polarized however, having extremely bad players and high-skill players in higher stakes. Perhaps this is what draws more players to the larger competitors.
I assume that serious poker players would rather play on PokerStars with thousands of people at any time, than waste time waiting for table to fill on low populated bitcoin poker site.
Likely, but of course another thing is that some notable examples of bitcoin poker sites (NS, FJ) do not support any HUD (afaik) due to their software.
ACR accepts bitcoin, so there's an option for people who want to deposit/withdraw with it.
Why not just go to pokerstars they have national recogition so you know they won't go down anytime soon.
And with Ronaldo as a mascot you know they have the money to stay and remain online for many years.

Let's not talk about PokerStars and the stupidity that they've done this year. From raising the rake to crappy new "cage" games with a time limit... I think I'd prefer other sites.
