As much as I like the idea of BTC, it lacks fundamental structural features that would allow it to not eventually be revealed as a sham.

It doesn't have to be "revealed as a sham", it has to simply not be worthwhile to continue using. I see the speculators as being far more harmful to its long term viability than any nation-state.
