I want to see Bitcoin be accepted in the United States by both the people and the government. Regulations cracking down on the industry makes bitcoin less available to the people there.

Sure cracking down on bitcoin won't actually kill bitcoin, but it significantly affects people's ability to use it freely without the concern of the boot of the Feds.

Most people will not use bitcoin if it is not convenient or if there is a threat of the state coming down on them. Only in the case where they have no other choice, would most people resort to using bitcoin IMO.
