The bitcoin boom is coming to an end. And the death of this short era of craziness regarding crypto currency is quite possibly the work of government regulators
Of course not, we are not even close to reach the peak of the potential of bitcoin, how could that be when bitcoin has not been widely adopted yet and it is not used as a currency, the developers are working on it and it's very likely they are going to get finally to the solution in the next months or years and when that happens you will see a real bitcoin boom.
