Where is the media on this one? I would think that main stream outlets would be licking their chops for a chance to drag Bitcoin over the coals, using how ANOTHER Bitcoin business has imploded as justification. All I've seen is coindesk, newsBTC, and other small outlets have picked this story up.
How juicy does it need to be to fly on their radar?
-Insolvency after 25 days of the IPVO
-Stock traded on a unregulated securities exchange
-Holders of the stock have 0% equity in the company
-AWOL CEO
-Bitfunder mishap
-Mt Gox
-One of the leading and trusted voices in the community being involved (Andreas).*
I think that Mt Gox being picked up by main stream has peaked an interest of Bitcoin in the public. It didn't matter if the spin was pro or con, more people are now aware of Bitcoin because of it. I'm of the opinion that the only bad news for Bitcoin is no news at this point.
So come on CSNBC, Bloomberg, WSJ, Forbes, show Bitcoin some love (even if its the tough kind)!
*My belief is that Andreas is being authentic in claiming that he was just a technical advisor. That was a point made clear by him before the whole melt down (maybe he saw the writing on the wall).
