Hmm, I see. Makes me wonder where bitcoin would be trading were its history not riddled with political/legal/fraudulent/technical/reputation snafus.

It wouldn't be trading at all, because it is paving new ground. If it wasn't, it would have no reason to exist, because a predecessor coin would exist and it would be unlikely that btc would have enough differing features to justify the risk transitioning to it.

The drama isn't because of bitcoin, it is because it is the first cryptocoin breaching new markets consistently. So as it treads new ground there will always be resistance.
