Its definitely getting better at the mainstream level. I still remember the first time I heard on Bitcoin about the big price surge of the MT Gox exchange and the questions of the journalists were always about drugs and stuff.

LOL, well it was an irresistible headline for many in the news industry.

"Digital Currency more valuable than Gold, fueled by the sale of drugs, guns, and other aspects of the criminal underworld. Details at 11, tune in and learn how you can protect your children."  

Even a reputable journalist can't be blamed for wanting to jump all over that. I think the media is starting to realize that you get that with any currency, key here is they now see it as a currency and not just some evil back alley trade thing.

Excellent article.  One can't blame them for telling the truth; in fact, it gives the article more credibility.  They wrote it as it is....Any publicity is good publicity....To the Moon, Babie!

Grin Looks like the paper of record is recognizing the price increase and its possible causes.

We need dozens of articles like this to erase negative experience people might have about BTC which s been caused by crypto scammers and ponzi pumpers. So just keep spreading he good news. We need to find a way to proper BTC over $600. In my experience, this is the limit where new people start flocking in and we get all that positive buzz we ve had before.

It is nice to see that more people are getting into Bitcoin. It is also great to see that people are recognising the price rise of Bitcoin. I guess people are realising that Bitcoin is the currency of the future.

This is going to be another fun day, or a lull before the exchanges warm up.
It's nice for Gemini being in New York and the article is quite positive some of the fundamental infrastructure weaknesses are getting addresses the one that may still be a shadow is 1mb but for the most part its getting there.

-
Past price rallies have generally been followed quickly by collapses, usually set off by some sign of weakness in the infrastructure of the Bitcoin industry.
-
Exchanges of the Third Generation and Fourth with reasonable reputations are addressing this part so I like how the article went into the next part on that.

-
The companies that currently handle most Bitcoin transactions seem to be far stronger than those that did in the past.

....


i agree with you. but as we saw in the past, OKCoin and Kraken were attacked and went offline for some time. There is still room for alot improvement.
What we saw in the past is kindergarden compared to what could happen in the future.
