Topic: Channel 4 News (UK) Gives Very Positive Report on Bitcoin (Read 1931 times)
Finally, a good article.
Banks were already nervous, but now even start to admit it. That's an insane accomplishement in just 5 years time.
Wow, I'm actually quite shocked that the tone of that video clip was overall positive. 
Usually they'd fixate on Shrem, Silk Road, Gox, etc...but they actually focused on the positives and the potential.

That's because UK gov's stance on bitcoin is rather positive:

Media approach to BTC was pretty neutral at the beginning, now it seems to be getting more positive.
The audience must have been of something like 600,000.

What time did it show on TV?
great news..it`s about time..to the moon 
I guess someone spend some time and learned about the advantages and also 'magic' of Bitcoin and decided to present an actually positive review. Maybe they're just heavily invested though and are not as altruistic, as we might think 
I think the UK media are all well invested in BTC this isnt the first pump we've had but its likely the best report so far. How to get around the corrupt banking is the tricky part.

This type of news is not really good. The market price of bitcoin does't react at all. The massive recognition and adoption is still long way to go.
Why do people just concentrate on just the price?Because right now people buying Bitcoin mostly because of profit and expectation that price of Bitcoin will rise.
This will change when ''big'' merchants accept bitcoin and when Bitcoin become mainstream like Paypal.
Another 'Bank of England on Bitcoin' article:

Key takeaway for the masses - Bitcoin is legit and no banks needed.
Yeah hopefully this brings in a few more newbies, the mainstream really truly hate banks over here im not sure how they feel in USA/elsewhere
Good news.
good for bitcoin 
Key takeaway for the masses - Bitcoin is legit and no banks needed.
very good propaganda. It will give positive impression to masses and increase its reputation. Even the media cant deny all the advantages bitcoin bring to us.
Report is not completely positive, it is optimistic. It is saying that electronic money can interest the rich and the poor and banks are watching bitcoin. Didn't really say banks are pro or anti bitcoin.
It doesn't get more common than Channel 4
