Topic: Spent a week away from bitcoin websites (Read 2232 times)
Yeah, you really don't see that much mention of bitcoin in mainstream media lately, but should be more and more as time passes.
I shaved my head, put on an orange robe and went to Tibet to live as a monk. I can't find any news about anything.
This is probably the ideal strategy to follow as a Bitcoin holder. Other than that will only bring massive stress.

try checking http://www.theguardian.com/uk/technology as bitcoin has been talked about and this is a large UK newspaper.
Yes I did miss Wired. You are right. I mostly went to the big news sites looking at their technology and money sections. I went to fewer dedicated tech sites.
What sites were you checking?
I noticed BBC (UK) always mentions Bitcoin when some big news happen, usually in 'Technology' section
That proves bitcoin is yet to become mainstream media...like they carry major forex rates in almost all newspapers. Way to go.
It would be like complaining about why you didn't find news about how awesome the internet was in the early 90's.
And this put things into perspective. People want moon - moon isn't coming for quite some time. Looking at the price every five minutes will not bring the moon quicker. There is much work ahead, otherwise no moon.

Well you likely missed wired although that isn't a really good measure
You need to define your search means

I follow two rules about Bitcoin news:
1) If the article has a photo of a physical coin, I skip the article.
2) If the article has a @#*$^ picture of Karpeles holding a physical coin, I never go back to the site.

These are interesting (but good) principles. Care to elaborate?

Where the heck has the OP been hiding? Must've been one huge rock! 
Unfortunately(fortunately?), I have CNBC TV shoved down my face in my office, so all I saw was Coinbase and Gemini news and the Winklevii interview and Davos mentioning Bitcoin.
In my case, I couldn't help it, it was pretty apparent in the news headlines.

My friend, I started my break on the 27th - that was after the coinbase news.
Today I was in WHSmith a British bookshop. I was having a look at the top selling/rated non-fiction book shelf and at number 16 was a book about bitcoin! This was in Euston train station. One of the busiest stations in the land. Now that was a surprising find.

healthy advice to stay away for a week now and then.
For now i am happy there is not lot of news on front pages cause most of them would be bad. In my opinion Bitcoin have long way before become mainstream and there will be lot of time for PR, but before that all of us enthusiasts must work to solve problems of this fairly new technology. Rome was not built in one day but it lasted for thousand years.
We want adoption - we need positive news coverage.
Why?
Haha!! Less for me and you.

welcome in the mass media ... proprietary of the rich people (bank essentially).

visit techcrunch or wired and you will find BTC news regularly.
I think I should lock myself away from checking out btc price constantly like what you did. Tried couple of times but failed. It's because I'm still waiting for much lower price to buy the coins.
