because bitcoin is a Ponzi Scheme Bubble back by nothing but rumor / lie / fake hope
that's why media or rumor matter
Topic: WHY does the media have so much control over Bitcoin price? - page 2. (Read 3568 times)
There are two different subjects here.
One is about the power of media, which isn't only over BTC but also over elections and thousands of issues, and the second is about Apple versus BTC.
BTC has survived the silk road crash, and it will survive that sad affair with Apple. Back to the media, it's a sad fact that recent news, like the MtGox failure aren't positive news. I guess we just need more success-stories. It's a bit the ratings on politicians. Some months they're down, then they're up.

The media is responsible for the majority of pumps and dumps since the inception of cryptos
The exchanges are media. So is Bitcointalk.org. Even the Bitcoin blockchain is media. They all induce us to either trade for Bitcoin, or to trade Bitcoin for other things.
Usually there isn't just one soldier in a war. Usually there are lots of soldiers working together. Lots of times the efforts of a single soldier mean very little. Yet, without all those "single soldiers" nothing would get done.
Do you want bitcoin to flourish? Become the media. Remain the media. Become the soldier. Remain the soldier. USE BITCOIN.

Could not answer the poll because of limited choices, but my answer is;
Media has so much control over Bitcoin price because people are excitable, fearful, riotous, irrational, uncertain and doubtful. Some may also say stupid.

Why? Because we have a high percentage of 'sheep' in our population.
BTC is trending up....do what I'm doing, fill your boots while you can.

The media has a large influence on anything speculative where the value is based heavily on public perception (which is shaped by media). For instance if all news outlets said at the same time that it was imperative that everyone buy at least 1 btc immediately, the value would sky rocket.
media controlls btc price because governments controll bitcoin
Apple is powerful, but I don't think it was the only thing that caused this price swing; after all, just yesterday the Gox price shrank quickly driving the other exchanges down a little too.
there is the russia news... http://rt.com/business/bitcoin-russia-use-ban-942/
short answer to the first post
because 99% of people are sheep and at the slightest soundwave to shock them, they want to run. i personally dont eat grass and run at the slightest soundwave to shock me. and those that do panic over such things really need to look at themselves and work out, if they are this sheepish and fearful, is this high risk high reward new form of payment something they should really be investing in? as it seems their nerves can't handle it.
it seems those that live in fear should not be walking in a field of landmines. i personally love walking in fields of landmines. but thats because i know the true signs to look out for and ignore the false ones made to trick you into changing your direction.
and for those that are of a nervous disposition that still feel that bitcoin is for them. DO NOT invest such an amount to affect your nerves.
EG do not put your whole salary each week into bitcoin. but if you usually waste $90 a week on alcohol, fast food (items that end up down your toilet within 6-9 hours after purchasing) then waste that amount, and that amount only on bitcoin.
that way you will believe it to be your "disposable" income and not your living expense, and as such will not panic as much at the slightest bit of news.

Well said.
Some people change their decision very easily after reading an article or forum post...
i laugh at media stories. and their over dramatisation of the facts
EG "apple declares war on bitcoin"
........... no apple did not make a statement that they would track and kill any bitcoin users. they simply took it off of their website. this is not war, this is prohibition..

Because, the media is the powerful method of sculpting public opinion.
That's why its power was recognized in American governance as the 4th estate, the fourth branch of government behind the legislative, executive and judiciary, and given protections as such.
You have to control the discussion, otherwise people get other ideas.
Like how in America there are only 2 political parties that are not much different. If you set up the discussion in framing of only these two parties with no talk to any other of the other 1000s of political positions, then you have effectively removed any other political consideration out of the predominant political discourse for the nation.
Looks at the owners of the media conglomerates in any given country. You'd be hard pressed to find any of them that were not directly involved in governance as well, with enough political interaction to improve their positions and further their greed and power.
