I don't think global regulation of bitcoin will kill the bitcoin, it will rather strengthen and more reliable, global regulation of bitcoin, is what the world is waiting for, to make the bitcoin a hot currency, and universal acceptable.
I also agree to that, because we all know that bitcoin needs the full scale support of people which includes the government and regulation is one of the way for bitcoin to be an accepted cryptocurrency in the market. It could also help for people to gain trust on the system of bitcoin which could make transaction much more easier because there would be more people that will be open on accepting bitcoin in the form of transaction and as a form of investments.
