There are now many more ways to get bitcoin for other money. but these are small transactions.
I don't object to the reporting rules as they stand; The terrorism threat is real and the drugs dangers are real. However the precedent is a problem. As Satoshi said Wikileaks and by inference Silk Road were bad calls. As they say in the Q continuum: "Dont provoke the Borg!" Build up step by step. Be ready when the Fiat currency monster stumbles. Its too big to push.
I was really surprised that there wasn't a crash when the news came out. As soon as I read it I was watching the price, getting ready to buy BTC. While I never got my dip in price I was looking for, I was encouraged by the stability of the currency through it all. Hopefully it is a good sign for the future of BTC.
