Yes and No...The complications of the us tax agency might cause others to do business elsewhere (Like europe). when you can walk up to any merchant in the world and use bitcoin instead of cash, credit, or atm visa then bitcoin will continue to surge. Right now I think the lightning network is a blessing and a problem at the same time. short term no ones making money on mining but if the amount of transactions go way up and costs go way down then bitcoin + lightning will surge again. we might be going sideways for six months until this happens.
