Being on the speculation forum and setting aside the integral anti-government philosophy of Bitcoin for a moment just so that we can consider things with a cool head, I don't understand why some people think that government regulation will make the price go down (I assume it is the price you are talking about when you say "we are going a long way down now" and not our ethical standards!). I think it is one of the several indispensible keys to making the price go up. Have I missed something?
