you can't do anything about people who are spreading these kinds of negativity about bitcoin all around the media. even if you do a rebrand they will have an additional excuse to bash bitcoin and we all know they need a new excuse to do it since everything they have been using so far is overused and see through at this point.
not to mention that rebranding is like erasing the problem instead of trying to solve it. and the problem is that bitcoin is new and decentralized so there is no centralized authority (like a company) that can sue them for defamation and false information spreading. so they do it freely.

I think rebranding is not the solution we are in the beginning of accepting cryptocurrencies by public so we have to wait a liitle time to adopt bitcoin naturally its actually gaining some attention to every corners of the world slowly but in the end after some years bitcoin will reveal itself to public how powerful it is despite of this negativeness being thrown by some against in crypto.
To replace those negative impressions on bitcoin, the government should first recognize bitcoin and from there every thing might follow smoothly. Since, bitcoin is already used worldwide, why don't every government acknowledge its presence and recognize so that they can start putting some rules and regulations just to bring trust.
"Rebranding" is what a failed company (in this case failed altcoin) does in order to start fresh and fool people by trying to hide the dirty history it had. bitcoin does not have such dirty history and does not need to hide anything so there is no need for "rebranding".
in fact all these negative FUDs that we keep hearing about bitcoin is a very good thing because history proves how many idiots have been around and how many big names were among those idiots. you can check bitcoin obituaries https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoinobituaries/ to see all of them and counting and bitcoin still goes on stronger than before.

I think you make an interesting observation about perception of bitcoin at the moment. Although i'll go as far as to say this perception is of crypto in general due mainly to the way that the media tend to report on crypto but bitcoin in particular.
There is something about trust in the idea of phsycial cash that people can't seem to attribute with bitcoin/crypto, if you add that doubt with the negative news and government opposition to bitcoin then all of these creates problems for mass adoption.
IMO, i think the most important thing is about education and making the use of bitcoin/crypto as SIMPLE TO USE as possible. In my discussions with crypto newbies, one thing i have noticed is the lack of desire to have to learn about blockchain tech and understanding how the whole thing works. If the crypto world can somehow make this process a lot simpler and easy to follow, add to that some positive drive to change perception, i would hope that bitcoin and crypto in general might become a widely accepted payment method and better perceived concept.

Re-branding you say? Bitcoin doesn't need no re-branding
Every financial system goes through its own fair share of criticism and negativity,even the USD has millions of its counterfeit currencies in circulation,it causes and brings about negative news..
There have been numerous hacks on our conventional financial systems(banks), it definitely brings about negative news from the media and users, but is there any talk about re-branding them..
Even as far back as World War II the nazis were able to forge counterfeiting USD and British pounds,thats so much for negativity isn't it, but this currencies happen to be number 1 and 2 respectively today..
It's just impossible to run a financial system,a medium of exchange,store of value ETC, Like the bitcoin and not expect fraudulent activities that will breed negativity, so why worry about bitcoins negative feedback,instead of doing that get into the system and start making profits of it.

Try to focus on the good things of it, its qualities, maybe it will help it to stabilize or something?
We do not really need bitcoin to be stable,if the bitcoin is rooted at a particular price how then can investors and traders make profits of the network 
Rebranding bitcoin's name will do more bad than good in my opinion. Even though a lot of people look at bitcoin in a negative manner, it doesn't matter. Instead of rebranding, what's better is that we wait for the developers to make bitcoin as easy to use as possible, hence potentially decreasing the negative feedback.
How do you stop bitcoin's negative publicity? BUIDL, and educate people on their false impressions of bitcoin. There's a lot of skeptics but they're skeptics simply because they mostly don't understand a lot of things about bitcoin. That's why we always get stuff like "why use bitcoin if we can use USD mobile banking?" and stuff like that.

So I am subscribed to quite a few crypto news and general news websites; and one thing that frustrates me to no end is to see such negative publicity of this currency!
And I know most of the people are of the opinion that bitcoin doesn't really need publicity! But I think a little rebranding is very much needed to put bitcoin in the good light.Try to focus on the good things of it, its qualities, maybe it will help it to stabilize or something?
Whats your say on this?
