DNM busts means more coins in FBI possession and that is not good, for the price.

From a 100% bitcoin enthusiast, slowly I've fallen to bitcoin sceptic. There is one very good parallel I see. Why the fuck can't Linux still prevail over Windows and OSX, all these years? Several factors play role here and most important one is massive ignorance of people, then governments that do everything they can so people stay ignorant and putting every obstactle possible to stop or slow down free-minded projects like Bitcoin or Linux.

Fact is majority of people are still not spiritually prepared for big fundamental thing which is decentralization of everything. Technically, we're almost there, but ignorance is still killing it. Average Joe still needs beer, popcorns and Hollywood movies/TV/sports/Facebook, we're running low on geeks - they are already in.

Only thing that can help Bitcoin's price now is complete financial worlwide disaster, which would kick-off panic buys and everyone realising Bitcoin is better than gold or whatever asset they imagine. I don't even believe in "big" money anymore, cos' "big" money became big in the first place because of gigantic fiat economy fraud, therefore there is animosity of big money holders towards things that would set the world to be essentially free, I know they love profits but they would loose their elite status automatically by investing in crypto. From their point of view, that looks like dealing with enemies.

So, until financial meltdown happens, I think we will see decline in price. When it will happen? I don't know but they say world economy is coming to critical point in 2016, which coincides with blockchain reward halving....

Agreed. Bitcoin has a lot of obstacles to overcome. I am skeptical whether Bitcoin will reach 2016 at the moment
