OP when you think this is bad publicity I recommend to check articles written by the big newspapers and magazines around the world 2-3 years ago!
Compared to that Bitcoin is doing really good at the moment and gets a lot of neutral and positive news as well.
And what do you think had been written about electricity, the car, the internet first?? Wink

Don't worry too much.Even negative press can be good press.

Im now used to any news to do with bitcoin being bad news, its very rare that i read anything in the media with a positive spin on bitcoin. The only time i really notice a positive spin on thinghs is when it goes on to speak about the blockchain and not specifically bitcoin. for whatever reason the blockchain seems to have steered clear of most of the negativity.

Those are into bitcoins are those people who are matured already and bad publicity in media will not make a big impact on how they trust bitcoin. Real bitcoin believers does not believe in FUD and our faith will not be easily disturbed without any valid proof of a certain claim that would affect the market of bitcoin in a negative way.

It's not news anymore if bad publicity to bitcoin happens in social media. The system of people interest works that way. If someone publish a good news, little to nothing will have an interest to it. But if someone publish a bad incident mostly the whole world will take notice. So as to bait more people to view or get interest in their article, they tend to pick bad thing that happen and sadly Bitcoin and bad news attached with it is a great news piece for them.

This is some serious talk. We all know that social media is being used as a means of advertisement for investment scam, ponzi scams and other scam related bullshit. They can do it there for it is a free advertisement and no one is stopping them there. No moderators means freedom for them to steal from people.

Sometimes people reject something they don't understand and when you don't understand something it makes you afraid of it.
But other times people are just jealous honestly because they can't have a success on something like here bitcoin so they try to stop others from being successful.

That kind of reports are normal when it comes to bitcoin. Many thinks that bitcoin is criminal money because of it's association with darknet, and as a currency in darknet that's why many associates bitcoin as illegal money but the media takes advantages of it and get bitcoin's image become more bad because of it.

i don't know why you used the word alarming, maybe you don't know the meaning of it. but it is normal and the article you shared is also old article with nothing interesting in it.

there has always been a lot of bad media, a lot of FUD, and many other bad things about bitcoin. and people usually demonize what they don't understand and don't use their brain to think about if it is true or not.

Well after I read your post the thing that I will lay down on the table are two things. First is probably yes and the second is probably no. Probably yes, since reports are also bias and media can be paid and report news with bias due to personal interest. Second is probably no, since media are also made up of people such as there are honest and bad people there are also good publications to bitcoin from media.

It is a common thing for media, they need the sensational news to lift their reputation and they want to make it as controversial as possible, when bitcoin is used for wrong reason the media will keep on shouting and reporting, but they not doing anything when bitcoin is used for good purpose, some organization has started accepted bitcoin as donation, but media never bring up the news

What you are telling is a long time ago , but in today Media is the first who are creating the small thing as a big bubble. They just wanted their channel to get high TRP so that they can get more revenue through advertisement. In my view today media are the one big threat to the public as most of the times they just spread the rumors with getting full detail about the actual news.

Yeah that's the function of the media, I think it was a regular thing if they wanted to get a view that many more they get the money and the increasingly popular. Because the media can not live without operational money

And therefore I think the media is one of the media neutral party, because they spread the word that is actual and factual.

Nearly every new technology was first used by criminals its just the way things are..... Roll Eyes

I don't know about the criminals but I do think that some group of people just want to highlight the bad aspects of bitcoins in the eye of common people. it may be the group of corporations that doesn't want bitcoins to be widely used.

I just watched the 3rd episode of the second season of Mr. Robot and there was this talk about Bitcoin and cold wallets and all the illegal vibe associated with the Bitcoin technology that even the mainstream media is painting the picture that mainly hackers and computers geeks are vested in this digital currency. Maybe after watching the show a lot of people will check out this Bitcoin thing and become Bitcoiners themselves who knows.

Media do not tell the truth. They just want to make sensational story/news and attract people to read commercial ads.

i think that is not for the first time. we are experiencing such cases for so many time. every time bitcoin succeeded and the false reporter fails in their aim. i can hope that this time also bitcoin will become succeeded.

The media knows too well that bad news sells better than good news.

Basically your right, most of the media news target negative news as these are much more catchy to their audience, so I dont see any reason to believe media wants Bitcoin to fail, they just happily publish any negative news, Bitcoin included.

You can see in news how big inflation have venezuelan people with their fiat currency as well, over 1000% yearly so basicaly using it is pointless, and any fiat currency can easily end in similar trend. So media news do not just bash Bitcoin, they like to report about any negative news that come up, so nothing to worry about.

I am curious why the reports on bitcoin on television are somehow making bitcoin bad. Somehow many people are thinking that bitcoin is a criminals money. And while reading this article it just make sense that media has made attempts to destroy bitcoin in favor of blockchain. Is someone behind this bad publicity to bitcoins. But at least bitcoin remain strong.

ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED!!!

OK, Illuminati may even not exist (I don't think so), but it's true there are dozens of secret societies around the world, big ones with really wide influence and can control many powerful things like the media easily like a piece of cake. Should they drive there attention toward bitcoin and try to manipulate it? Yes, because it's profitable.

If you are with the government you will understand. Something that os not in their control should be stopped and with the help of media it can be done.

That is also true so they are treating Bitcoin as a threat to their financial status. We will soon see how far can they go to stop cryptocurrency in the coming years.
Not sure if its possible to control github but if it is they might as well take that, domain registrars and hosting companies which is going to be scary.

in the article they're right when they've said "Blockchain is a hot term" and that everyones focused on it, rather than Bitcoin. It's all because once the media gets to be aware that Bitcoins are used on the darknet by illegal drug markets and for other unusual activities, they try to relate those as a bad omen to Bitcoin itself. Most of the power lies in Big banks and Financial institutions and they play a major role in polluting the reputation of something that a minority of the public accepts cause it instills freedom for people from monitoring. These big institutions inturn tend to spill the same to the media to create a "Bad" hype about Bitcoins, and then the chain follows from one media channel to another.
