Yes, too important and too big to ignore and that is why banks are right now looking at ways they can also join the Bitcoin party and make some good money in the process. On the other hand, regulators on the side of the governments are now thinking how they can control some aspects of this cryptocurrency and make sure that they get a big share of possible taxes out of the transactions happening in the Bitcoin ecosystem. When the cryptocurrency industry is getting bigger everyday, we can really expect some actions from governments...some can be good and some can be bad. Like what is happening right now in the USA, Russia, China and even Nigeria.
