#2The article does assume that bitcoin laws will be passed, and will be used to limit and persecute those who use bitcoin.
A bit of regulation may, in fact, be a good thing, and could be used to make bitcoins an attractive mainstream investment and a well used transaction technology...

Potentially, However, since it's anonymity will continue to be an attractive proposition to a large criminal element it's mass appeal is unlikely in my opinion.
Has their been any word on a Bitcoin 2?

#4Is there anything more than the apparent wild speculation here to actually substantiate any of these claims or is this just some guy ad libbing for attention?

#5People say that even if Bitcoin is not the future of currency, perhaps a future similar currency will be. But I think if Bitcoin loses the legal battle here, it might be a lot harder for a future digital currency to get off the ground. If the US Government wins here (and gets help from other countries to stop it as well), the barriers to entry for a digital currency might be a lot higher later.
Bitcoin's hope is to provoke a Wikileaks-level Streisand effect, so when the Governments go after it, it becomes 100x more popular and it gets a lot more support from the mainstream all over the world.
