No one gets it, when you make something illegal it's value rises, alcohol or drugs are a good example of this.
I disagree. I've witnessed the exact opposite of what you describe. YMMV, ofcourse, and currency is probably on a whole new level that drugs, alcohol, and tobacco are not.
Unless you believe that the whole world respects USA polices, I doubt Bitcoin will go away. When the dollar eventually devalues to nothing, Bitcoin will be the only way to get your wealth out of the country. The price will go up.
