honestly, I'm still a bit puzzled why everyone seems to be just eager to get Bitcoin somehow connected with Kim Dotcom.
Actually, being connected in the public conscience with such a sketchy figure would be a publicity nightmare. Do you really think the state of the coin is so desperate for us to need such kind of "publicity"? During the last months, the Bitcoin ecosystem featured a nice constant growth -- all without much coverage in main stream media.
Why not? Every time Bitcoin is mentioned they talk about Silk Road anyway. Would Kim Dotcom top that off? I dont think so.
It would provide just another case of a big business accepting the coin and therefore prove Bitcoins usability.
