Nothing has change though, still they put Bitcoin is some kind of bad light.

And we have seen worst specially around 2018 wherein the news on Bitcoin was really that bad that we know that those who are writing about it doesn't know Bitcoin one bit and perhaps the publication just approved it without any verification.

But for sure, it's nostalgic, as it shows the price around $3.00 and then the infamous Mt. Gox as the only exchanges that time.

It takes a lot of courage to for reputable entities to stream about the potential values of bitcoin at when the coin hasn't been able to prove itself valuability.
This earliest streamer couldn't be be recognized because people don't care about the origin of bitcoin rather than just concerned to how utilizing it'd be to them otherwise this exchange would be one of the most remarkable and recognized institutions that's around the crypto industry.
We can imagine today's how exchanges awaits for crypto coins to be masterly plan by it developers down to the markets first be sure of it valuability because they could adopt to it's speculated as worth values while many of the nonsensical coins are being delisted from the exchange latter on if if coin hasn't been able to gain values.
An accolade to this genius exchange for standing firm of it publicities of bitcoin even when it values was still seem worthless. Such indeed is a vision institution and Worth remarked as some others which has formally been given famouslism after this public awareness of this exchange.

Will you really expect a mainstream platform to talk about bitcoin greatly before with nothing yet to show for it. Back then it was gaining value but I do not think many actually believed that it could reach to where it is now.

Today though, I would say that a lot more people have started believing in bitcoin and more mainstream media can report all the greatness that is happening to bitcoin as it is. Because it is evident and to deny what is happening in front of our faces is delusional.

It will definitely be something we need to keep and something we have to show to the future generation when we try to recount the history of bitcoin. Any media from years before is important to keep.

Probably one of the first, if not the first mainstream media that has covered Bitcoin way back in 2011. And as you can see, the price is just around $3.00 that time and they have interviewed Mike Caldwell of Casascius coin.

It's also worth nothing that they mentioned that it's not yet being used to buy a latte, but I think with LN it's possible to make this small transactions already as we have seen it in the last year or so.

So this is truly a legendary video for Bitcoin enthusiast.
