If this is how the idea of Bitcoin gets exposed to the world, through a
negative
event, then Bitcoins will be seen as a bad thing for many people and governments.
And it would open it up to further condemning and denouncing attacks by politicians.

no. it'll be interpreted as a huge positive. it's been made loud and clear that Bitcoins are
valued
. it's an efficient, highly desired fixed supply currency that can be sent or received w/o being present in person. try that with gold or USD's.

For its longer term success, I'd prefer it if a beneficial event did the introduction of Bitcoin to the world.

Right, and right.
Somebody from this forum saw that and decided to get some free bitcoins. That's my theory.

No it's not. The worst thing that can happen is a neutral effect should it turn out to be a hoax. That kind of association doesn't damage bitcoins reputation since it is not related to it's infrastructure.
I wouldn't be surprised if we hit all time highs next month, and I think everybody here agrees I am one of the most resilient bears in here.
