Filled it out.

And don't be weird and say "Feel much better about Bitcoin" after the Gox thing.

Be normal and say "Nothing has changed".

Just my two cents.

Then I must admit I'm weird and start learning to live with it.

Are the results public or they plan to make an article about it?

Bloomberg is very anti-Bitcoin.

no, they are very pro in my opinion (for mainstream media). Matt Miller does a great job to educate the people there. i watched and read nearly every piece they made.

All this misunderstanding is only because of lack of information, mtgox it's an exchange and not the only one, and if it turned out to be not truthworthy it doesn't mean btc is the same

I do feel much better though. It was pretty obvious that Gox was garbage that needed to come to public attention as early as possible.

Now that people no longer consider Gox a viable reputable exchange; things can greatly improve and move forward for BTC --- with major exchanges that actually service their withdrawals in a timely way.....

It's biased just as usual. But the fact of the matter is that a lot of the mainstream is slanted in this manner too and as unfortunate as it is, Mt. Gox was one of the main Bitcoin media players. After all you don't hear too much about the other Bitcoin services because they usually have their crap together. Mt. Gox other the other hand has always managed to garner more media attention than healthy.

Seems like that last question is phrased to encourage the "MtGox made me much more negative on bitcoin" answer. Let's get the results to reflect an understanding that MtGox is not Bitcoin.

rated all positive, good catch on those bastards. they are always saying stuff.

So is there a survey to compare the answer to,? Grin

such as....
When will Bloomberg be asking the question about...
"Do you trust the dollar to not lose purchasing power?"

or
"Do you trust the value of your US dollars under the management of the federal reserve and rich executive officers of large central banks?"

Trust level depends on $$ level, isn't?

I happen to listen to Bloomberg radio everyday. They are not "anti-bitcoin" they are "skeptical".

You lead and I'll watch you walk away.

Why even post anything from Bloomberg? That's the most biased piece of crap rag in existence. Reading anything from them is like reading the transcript of a rant from a gossiping old woman (only 10% will be true).

Bloomberg is very anti-Bitcoin.

They want cheap coins perhaps Tongue

or they have some deeper ideas... Hell know.

Most likely because Bloomberg is very invested in the way the stock market works right now. Any alternative is a threat.
