I said some sappy things a few nights ago in a different thread, but I still stand by them:
The various bitcoin-centric spaces that have sprung up all around the world are evidence that that this (the heart and soul of Bitcoin is dying) isn't true. I can't think of any other technology that has these groups of people meeting up in weird places all over the world to talk about using it, how it changes the world, and what they can build with it.
There are these kind of spaces everywhere: you can find over 200 bitcoin-centric meetups that are active. There are quite a number of places that actually pay for space and can keep the lights on, just for the purpose of getting together about bitcoin.
It may take longer than we thought, or it may end up looking quite different than we thought, but I think the idea of Bitcoin is still pretty strong and the people on the fringes will keep using it. I don't know if that's enough, but it might be.
