Alarming bad publicity to bitcoins in social media

[RoomBot]

I think if that bad news in social media about bitcoin will have an impact to people, it 's just a little. If a person doesn't know or doesn't even have any idea of what bitcoin is, he won't be interested with that news. Why should he read the article in the first place? Right? And of course someone who knew about bitcoin won't believe it in any way, since he knew the truth. I think there will always be people who will defend bitcoin from those bad news and let others know what really it is.

yeah, these bad news are getting old these days. and the article is also old showing that OP may have some other purpose for sharing it because it is for some months ago before the rise.

besides if people are making their decisions based on the crappy news they read on a news site they better stay out of bitcoin.

That is the problem. How can we encourage them with saying just stay out of it. It needs to be corrected. There are people who dont know a thing about bitcoin and didnt even researched it because of bad advertisement. There should be a goal to make them understand and not be selfish to tell them just stay out of it. We dont want it to be like a plague.

I agree! 
I think we all heard a lot of sensational "news" about BTC by writers who clearly did not understand it, especially in the earlier years.
Bitcoin topics are perfect for practicing our critical thinking skills, especially if our minds are open.

Media usually do bad publicity because bad news always caught the mind of the reader, that is how they can attract people to view their pages or listen to their news, therefore we should not rely on media alone and in order for us to verify the media always check in in the forum for accurate information.

Really? because I think media is also commonly publish good news and it also attracts a lot of people. Plus more because media compete with other media, I think the news is the news accurately displayed. Compared forums usually only issues that do not necessarily occur.

Good point!

Like everything else in life, including Bitcoin, you can focus on positive stories or on negative ones.

It really is a choice.

The "bad" stories can be excellent warnings too.

They are all the same, in media there are also publishers that are not telling the real score of the news and there are also what we called shit posters. I think it should come up unto us and we should more intelligent enough to evaluate what is the truth behind.

The mass media always reports more on negative stories and will hardly rally behind good policies or bitcoin doing good in the world at large. This is the nature of disseminating news in our world today. Also the corporate media has fiat dollars behind it so will not back this disruptive technology as it should do in these trying economic times.
