Welll it's about time that this was supposed to happen, Bitcoin popularity is at a life time high. Every one wants that coin called Bitcoin. The people who had stayed away from it or called it scam are the ones wanting a piece of it. It's obvious logic that these media houses are catching on to it, they will gain some good traffic to their sites, channels which would not have easily come. Good to see that bitcoin is on the move, sooner or later who knows even the white house may accept it.

Bitcoin for sure is a "hot topic" of sorts at the moment
As posted above its purely because of the recent surge in dollar value
and is seen as "unbelievable".

I more interested in seeing this news in the mainstream media rather
than crypto blogs and crypto news sites because I want it to be highlighted
to the masses. The majority of people following crypto themed sites
are people already into crpypto.

I like cnbc reporting on it and recently the daily mail in the U.k, thats hitting
the average joe - more exposure

This is so hypocrite...
Bitcoin is getting all that attention only because of the record price,not because some big corporations adopted btc for their online business.
If the bitcoin price gets under 1000 USD ,everyone would forget about btc again.

What you say is impossible.
If bitcoin touches the price of 1000 usd more and more people and companies are investing in bitcoin,
Because bitcoin is a very practical and instant currency
Did not rule out that price will skyrocket again

Man that is harsh.... hypocrite? OP is just highlighting that Bitcoin is the talk of the town these days. We are seeing more and more reporting on

Bitcoin coming from the most unusual sources. Gold bugs talking about Bitcoin is a good thing... if they sold only 10% of their investment in

gold for instance and then used that to buy Bitcoin, then we would benefit a lot from that. Exposure on these platforms are good and even better

if the articles are positive. Grin

Well this is good. But on the other side, seing bitcoin to be more popular right now seems to be disturbing, I mean why bitcoin become popular now maybe because of it's price? Why it isn't not became popular by the time that the price of it is not that high?

It is good but in my perspective, some 3rd world countries would fall economically because most of the currencies now would be invested over the web and what if other countries are not ready yet for there own mining infrastructers. Because how would they get also btc if they just purely invest only. By the time they got in the same stage as other rich countries were, they would be already too late and what they can do now is but btc than actually buy a countries own currency.

They put it in such a weird light.

When most of these sites talk about Amazon stock or something, they'll be talking about Amazon's growth as a company, what they've been doing recently and other fundamental reasons for the price to rise. When they're talking about Bitcoin, they're like "hey look, it rose loads, you should have bought some, haha what crazy gains".

All that this shows is that Bitcoin is needing growth to keep growing. People are putting their money in expecting high returns, and therefore whenever the high returns stop people will start selling.

This variant of publicity is just not healthy.

Bitcoin OG

Some of the media is using very click-baity headlines. They're generating a lot of traffic when they figured out Bitcoin is getting a lot of attention. This is okay now but come the UASF August 1st and things get a little stormy the same media will turn on Bitcoin. Right now they're just useful idiots.

That's right. I remember that kind of attention that was when bitcoin costed couple of dollars. It was negative. I have even heard that bitcoin is new financial pyramid. Now bitcoin takes more and more attention only due to it's bull raising price. Nobody from all this mass media are interesting in it's technology and opportunities. That's sad, but all this world is rolling around money making and the mass media especially.

I will agree with you. All that panic from everyone to know about bitcoin and own some of them is because of the price, they don't really care about the benefits bitcoin actually have. They just want to make more money that's all. But there's no thing called bad publicity either

CNBC has been posting about Bitcoin nearly every day for months now. I've never heard of any of the other outlets mentioned here though. This much hype is bad imo. Bitcoin needs slow steady growth and institutional ownership.

There is no surprising in that.Bitcoin has become the center of attraction all over the world.Bitcoin price was around $750 in november 2016 and now on june 2017,it has raised to $2349.Almost it has tripled within six months.We could not find any asset today which would give such huge returns.We could say that revolutionary bitcoin era has started and we are very much blessed to be in this era.
