Here's the skinny: 2 out of 3 of the world's superpowers (Russia and China) are against Bitcoin. This leaves only the Unites States left to really support Bitcoin and set an authoritative precedent in the world. Also ,exchanges are dropping like flies. This year Bitcoin is actually experiencing a "reverse adoption" like never before (except maybe 2011) which is outweighing the adoption. The only hope left is that the United States continues to embrace Botcoin and that these exchanges start opening in New York in June. If I see that this is not going to happen then I will be leaving.
