More coverage = good news :) Depends how they cover it... you know what they say, even bad advertisement is advertisement :D Not necessarily if they keep slandering it by mentioning it alongside drugs, child porn, ponzis and scams etc. There has been some pretty decent and unbiased coverage on the BBC though.

Watch the video and you'll probably find out. I watched it (and the damm ad too), it has nothing to do with Bitcoins except that one guy is quoted as a "bitcoin developer" Title: Re: Bitcoin on BBC 24 news channel now Post by: CounterEntropy on April 13, 2014, 10:55:29 PM I suppose they did not give any sneak peak of the underlying technology
Title: Re: Bitcoin on BBC 24 news channel now Post by: pinksheep on April 13, 2014, 11:12:01 PM As I said above, I just heard the magic word bitcoin but that was about it! Was too preoccupied to stop & watch it.
Title: Re: Bitcoin on BBC 24 news channel now Post by: Nutterboy on April 14, 2014, 05:11:31 AM It has everything to do with bitcoins lol. He is a developer for Dark Wallet. Just because it doesn't talk about bitcoin directly, it is positive news for one element of bitcoin that is quite important. The security.
At anyrate, any publicity that isn't negative is positive publicity :) Title: Re: Bitcoin on BBC 24 news channel now Post by: MUFC on April 14, 2014, 11:34:59 AM Not worth the watch really.
