Decentralization has never been an easy alternative. It requires people to step outside their comfort zone and to actually contribute effort to obtain financial freedom and everything around it. People for the first time ever have the ability to conveniently use a tool that allows them to transact and maintain wealth online, and that without anyone capable of limiting you.
Gold has been a great tool back in the days, and still is, but the convenience that Bitcoin offers is certainly changing how we are dealing with value.
People should be happy with how the market has gone down. Instead of paying top prices you can get a way better deal right now.
With respect to regulation most especially, that is something we obviously cannot run away from. We may avoid them only when everything will be available for bitcoin payments but from your neighbor and friends. I guess that kind of society will be built very soon then we may avoid/overcome those government's regulations and restrictions.
