Someone on Reddit took this picture

[neurotypical]

I think this deserved it's own thread there.
When I started to look at Bitcoin back in the day, it was still some sort of nerd thing that had absolutely no recognition in the real world. Now, a person was able to take a pic with 3 magazines (not some random magazines as you can see) in a shop talking about Bitcoin on their covers. How insane is that? I think we aren't really grasping what's going on in here. I wonder what things will look like in 10 years.

This is good publicity, unlike what we see everyday... Obviously not talking about the articles inside the mags, as I haven't read them, but as you say they aren't indeed random mags...

I do wonder too what's it going to be like in 10 years. I just hope mainstream media starts to write without presenting only half of the facts.

[ajrah]

I hope those magazines find it's way to other countries that are not yet aware of Bitcoins. Magazines like that is a good medium in spreading awareness of a certain product or topic. It's about time that the world should know about Bitcoins and it's uses.

I think in general people here often forget how far it's come in such a short time. New arrivals seem to think it's been around forever when a few short years ago the entire concept didn't exist. Lord knows what things'll look like in a decade.

I hope this is only the beginning, Still waiting on more magazine, even local ones to cover some eye catching bitcoin articles as well which the mentioned magazines are well known but not easily acquired as only few countries get to read those... with the current events I could really see more magazines doing some sort of similar covers too as they don't want to get too far behind

I am skeptical about how they promote blockchain. But still this is going great.
In couple of years bitcoin will be known even more I believe.

There's a lot of anxious people waiting to become millionaires overnight that can't stop looking at the price, meanwhile amazing stuff is happening. The technology gets better and better and we've shaken bank's and institutions heads, they are still trying to wrap their minds around the thing. No doubt we will be very rich as we are still very ahead of the pack but it will take more time than the super early adopters, so sit back and enjoy the ride.

Well, media usually divide block chain and bitcoin. Into 2 separate beings, which is pretty silly in my opinion but it helps them feel better about knocking-off this technology.
But for bitcoin present in any form on the Covers of MAJOR economic title is HUGE! No wonder price is so high.

[kolloh]

It is always nice to see bitcoin in the mainstream media/press. Well, at least as long as it is positive news like it is in this case.

Hopefully we can keep adoption steadily growing and the price will follow.

I just saw this picture in another post and is incredible,
In the near future bitcoin will be more available in magazines.
Let's see how many other magazines will re-write this article/image and spread more.

[vipgelsi]

Very good for bitcoin. Hope it draws more people in.

In 10 years I expect all the major economic magazines to have at least a fixed btc-dedicated column

Bitcoin is almost ready to go, with bigger blocks and more merchants it can be an awesome money medium (for money transfers), in a few years more I hope it will be considered a currency, and we will start to see the first products directly denominated in bitcoins

yes, some people still dont realize what has happend in the last 3 years. i cant wait to see  the next 3-5 years 

[~Bitcoin~]

I amazed to see how bitcoin is getting popularity. However in developing countries like Nepal bitcoin can be more popular if we can spread more words about bitcoin because paypal like payment processosor doesn't allow us showing security reasons. As bitcoin is secured itself in its network, i think it can be new way for us to involve in international market. Feeling happy to be able fullfill some of my online purchasing need via bitcoin which was not possible on past.

Something is cooking just look at the price. I wish I learnt about it earlier and invested.

There's already a thread on this one started by countryfree 2 days ago:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1232642.msg12836093#msg12836093

But shit, this deserves 2 threads 

[YraggarY]

It's a beautiful thing, and as someone that's been invested in Bitcoin since 2011 it's great to see more widespread adoption of Bitcoin itself and the technology behind it being utilised in very innovative ways.

[defaultking]

I enjoyed reading the article in the economist.

[visual111]

that's quite cool. a year ago we'd never see anything like that. if the media is picking up on Bitcoin, then obviously average joe will begin to pick up on it too
