What do you think Bitcoins biggest vulnerability is?

The wrong impression people are giving against bitcoin. Most of those people includes the government and people who give doubts to bitcoin. Government is a powerful sector that can give wrong image to people that may cause fud.
Just because the nature of bitcoin is decentralized and volatile, they're using it to bring negative impression on bitcoin. It's always the people who can give vulnerability towards bitcoin, because they're using its nature to attack bitcoin, where in the very first place bitcoin also have its cons.

Yes, in fact most of the first page of this thread is precisely that, except for Franky's intelligent comment.

Most comments are about government fear. Let me spell it out for you: Bitcoin being banned worldwide would NOT stop it. It was designed to withstand that, and it was expected they would do it, but they didn't. There are far more countries accepting or tolerating Bitcoin than those banning it (about 15).

Someone even mentioned security. SECURITY? Bitcoin cannot be hacked, it hasn't been in 10 years, and it won't be later. This is also one of its key design features, you cannot tamper with the blockchain, and the theoretical 51% attack is a form of brute force attack, which is deterred by the fact that it would cost more to pull out than the possible gain of seizing the blockchain at that point. This should be obvious, but attacks to exchanges, online or personal wallets, are not Bitcoin's fault. Its each of these people's field. And in those cases, you have to talk about "hack" to those specific things, not Bitcoin. There are historical cases of altcoins being "hacked", and that should give you a fair example of what happens when things are not done right.

Since Bitcoin is invulnerable in code, it can only be harmed cosmetically on the outside, with FUD and lies, something that doesn't directly really affect Bitcoin, but the humans that would or would not use it when being misled like that. Bitcoin is working as intended despite that. Same thing as when governments "ban it" instilling fear on their people, but Bitcoin is still working fine even in those countries, you just have to cover yourself better.
