Do you really believe in third group? It's something I would like to happen, but I doubt its possible in this world. Some will try to ban it, others will regulate it as they wish and want. I think we shouldn't be negative at all. Even if we find ourselves in country where bitcoin is banned, be free and move to another country or use VPN, we will always find a way to be active on bitcoin network. What ever governments do they can't stop us from using bitcoins, they can't ban it in whole world, not anymore.
Patient or not future is coming for all of us, being prepared is knowing what can happen and doing everything do take the best from it, on your predictions depends how good future you will have.
