The formal conversation between bitcoin and governments is a long way to go, something like 2 shadow boxers approaching each other with caution.
Nice imagery, but I prefer a rather more dramatic depiction.
Bitcoin is bureaucratic ebola. While the host is busy penning new legislation that favors the biggest lobbying effort, BTC-bola is zooming along its bloodstream, hijacking cells and producing more copies of itself. As the capillaries fill with the detrius of bursted cell duplicators pushed to the limit - our host starts to sweat and feel tired.
The end, when it comes, will have the host wondering what is wrong - why will the headache never end, that law that should've stopped BTC-bola didn't WORK, dammit - "Oh hell, my back hurts terribly. Think I'll lie down and have a rest."
BTC-bola continues to infect the host, until its heart stops from massive damage to its corrupted systems.
Yes, a bit over-the-top, but I couldn't resist.
