Bitcoin Forum

I have watched bitcoin in the news and they warned the viewers about this matter. Will this increase or decrease the value of bitcoin?

What are you talking about?  ???
what news - without context its difficult for us to comment.

What matter? I have the news on nearly every day in the background and I see little mention of bitcoin other than when something major happens like when it broke 5k and 10k for the first times.

Where you see the bad news, This bad news will affect the value of the coins, but I think not for bitcoin even though its value drops only temporarily

I think that OP is reffering to some news article or story on tv in his particular country.

BTC is spreading more and more , In last week I have noticed news articles in my region which is unusual since in the past there was none.
Interestingly they are mostly negative

Its been on the news a lot lately so i don't see this news as anything new! Haha, anyway some people say that any attention is good attention but i just think that the more times it is heard on news or by word of mouth the more people that will be intrigued/convinced. People don't like by left out basically!

Bitcoin has been all over the news a lot of times, both positive and negative. The immediate impact doesn't seem to be that large. Long term it seems to be a major factor in gaining traction as media presence increases. Bitcoin is it's own marketing, so to speak, the volatility and drama helping a lot in keeping the news interesting.

We will definitely be hearing more of bitcoin in social media and news, mostly about the negativities that surround it which could affect the people's perception about bitcoin. It would boost bitcoin's popularity regardless whether good or bad, it's still publicity. Bitcoin has prevailed and came out stronger than ever from last year's issues and dramas which results to gaining people's attention and curiosity about bitcoin, therefore, increasing its value.

Most likely we are talking about the fact that in the media there are various "specialists" in the crypto currency and warn people that bitcoin is a bubble, a financial pyramid that can burst and that people in this regard should be cautious of investing in bitcoin . I myself have seen such broadcasts on television many times. As a rule, information there is provided in a superficial, unobjective manner, and the "specialist" giving an interview usually has either, or has to do with, banking or other financial structures to which the distribution of crypto-currencies in the world is unprofitable economically, as they lose part of the crypto-currency his profit. I do not think that such programs will cause any significant damage to the image of the crypto currency. In many ways people derive information from relatives and friends who deal with crypto-currency and which they trust more than the media. In addition, people learn more about the crypto currency information from the Internet. So do not worry about it.

which news you heard? I think you should not analyse the Bitcoin future. Because Bitcoin is the decentralised cryptocurrency so majority of the companies should invest this coin. So demands should be increasing in the market automatically value should be increased. First you should explain the complete news. Otherwise no one should explain the exact reason.

 I’m trying to figure out what you mean, did you see bitcoin coverage on the world news? I myself have been seeing it more and more being talked about on TV and advertised on the Internet. To me this is great, it’s kind of what everyone has been trying to do this whole time, is to get exposure to  bitcoin and other crypto currencies. I believe the increase in coverage definitely had an impact on the price of bitcoin the past few months.  Even people in my every day life who I have talked to about bitcoin before are just now starting to take notice.

It depend what the news is all about because bitcoin have a lot enemies this days due to it volatile which affect some people investment simply because they are not in or gaining from the bitcoin system just like the Senior regulator in the UK which said negative thing about bitcoin.

Bitcoin now on hot topic. Is is now headlines of every newspaper and also news in television. Because of that, it was promoted publicly that will result to increase in demand of bitcoin. Due to many people got interested, its value will absolutely increase.

Due to many people got interested it's value increased.i.e Bitcoin is hot topic

maybe we should get used to see it.. everywhere.

It`s the future and it`s already here.

Like iPhone, or Facebook, or Internet itself. Yes, it should be in the news but the real thing is, how we may adapt and benefit from it.

I look at it in the same fashion that celebrities look at publicity. All publicity is good publicity.

So in the long run, it is bringing the topic of BTC to people who have never heard about it, therein increasing market adoption rates.

I agree with you .This kind of is bitcoin ,only on TV. I think it might have been good for cryptocurrency in General. Thanks to the news about her and learn more people in all the world!

You didn't provide a proper information about the news you have watched. Which country, when, what they told about bitcoin and why should people be careful about the btc..

Anyway, Those news can be government generated. Maybe your government concerned about the amount of money 'went' to bitcoin. If there's no any regulated exchange company that they can audit, they can't tax, the money is 'gone'. So it's normal and you should understand it.

And understand one thing ; There's no good reason for governments to love bitcoin. They will use their power to keep the money 'inside' thats normal for a gov.

Yes as you would know alot of people are getting to know about bitcoin as bitcoin's price has become so high and alot of people are investing in it. I don't know why every news channel has to actually tell bad things about bitcoin. Alot of them are just like clickbaits or linkbaits which are half true and just trick people which would definitely result in bitcoin's value to fall to some extent. I think they should stop doing such things and show some positivity towards bitcoin too.

It actually affects the value of bitcoin, if the mainstream media will make bitcoin appears bitcoin to be something untrusted this would make its demand lesser. Bitcoin value is all dependent with its demand, peiple ahoyld be properly informed how it truly wirks and what is really uts purpose serving. In the past weeks, there were misleading new which makes the people question the credibility of bitcoin. One big fctor favtor why oeoplw cannot fully trust bitcoin us really the mainstream media.

of course, with the news about BITCOIN in the electronic media and online media, some do not like it and some are curious,
curious to find out what is Bitcoin, and certainly, if he is interested in Bitcoin he will definitely invest in Bitcoin and Bitcoin indirect price will be affected...

Making news against bitcoins will also increases its popularity. The person who know the real value of the bitcoin will ignore these types of news. Bitcoin is so high that different banks are threatening of it. Just don't listen rubbish news and invest in crypto.

We can tell that bitcoin becomes legal in many countries, so sometimes it is in the news so that some of them have their bitcoin. All the latest news on bitcoin, cryptocurrencies and virtual currencies. We report on bitcoin exchanges, merchants, regulation, mining and prices.

Bitcoin is a big topic now in many countries... & become more popular... so that is why it is now on the news..reporters are making reports about bitcoin..

yes, now bitcoin has become viral, there is a lot of news spread about bitcoin, a few days ago bitcoin entered the newspaper, and the government has also discussed about Bitcoin

haha...they have warned about bitcoin 5 years ago. and what's happen? there are thousands people become richer by investing in Bitcoin. Do you wanna become a millionaire?

Warned about what? Bitcoin? Regardless of the news being positive or negative towards Bitcoin the end result will be positive for Bitcoin. Bitcoin became popular because it was published in a magazine that states that Bitcoin is being used to purchase drugs (I've read this in this forum months ago). It's a negative news but it turned positive towards Bitcoin. So will the news you watched would result in an increase or decrease in Bitcoin's price? Either. Bitcoin is volatile. The possible demand increase would not be that huge to influence the current price.

I was explaining Bitcoin to my gran (88 years old, bit deaf in one ear) and it was sort of going
fine until I get to the bit about putting a postage stamp on the envelope to cover fees and I told her
the stamp costs between $25-45 per stamp and you never knew quite what price it would
cost until you sent the letter.

Well did she laugh and she said that the last time she gave the postman $40 he came
inside and took all his clothes off but she's getting a bit to old for that nowadays  :D :D :D

The mejia won't talk about fees being the elephant in the room

In my country they started broadcastings news with some bitcoin stories mainly interviewing these so-called experts. Funny enough they all predict Bitcoin is just a bubble waiting to burst, but from the way they speak they don't even know much about how blockchain works.

The more people interested in bitcoin, the better for us. As soon as the number of people who know about bitcoin becomes more than 60-70%, this will entail irreversible processes in the economy of most countries. The price of bitcoin will only grow from this, and accordingly its significance.
