Scammers are always searching for a new bubble to hop on?  Bitcoin
speculation is the new silver and gold hoarding scam?

Bitcoin is the currency of crime for a reason.  If you are a government
or corporation, why would you want to allow your monetary system to
suddenly become decentralized and out of your control?  In 5 years time
Bitcoin will either be exactly as it has always been (the defacto
currency for cybercrime) or it will have been completely co-opted and
neutered so as to better support the interests of existing government
and multi-national power structures.

Much the same as has happened with the Internet being "open".

That's my take anyway.
