I am curious why the reports on bitcoin on television are somehow making bitcoin bad. Somehow many people are thinking that bitcoin is a criminals money. And while reading this article it just make sense that media has made attempts to destroy bitcoin in favor of blockchain. Is someone behind this bad publicity to bitcoins. But at least bitcoin remain strong.

Media will always try to spread the negativity towards common people in such an extent that they will eventually create a bad taste towards certain innovation or ideas.
In this case they always are trying to influence common people to create hate towards Bitcoin as it was used by some criminals and drug dealers.

This kind of blind bandwagon is making me hate the media.
They are always trying to gain traction to their news by spreading negative messages since people gets more attracted towards negativity as a whole.

Media gets no views for spreading good news about bitcoin. If they were to start explaining the advantages of bitcoins in the newspaper, not a lot of people would read it. But the moment the newspaper talks about a drug bust involving bitcoin or something similar, then a lot of people get interested in reading up about it. So they just target viewers with news that interests them, and unfortunately its the bad news which does.

Lazy reporters need a way to come up with some headlines that will shock people.
"Hey did you know your kids are using computer money to buy drugs on the internet?!?!?!"
That's why we need to work hard to educate people about cryptocurrency and blockchain.

you seriously need to stop googling for bitcoin news and posting anything you find on here. this is an old article by the way from 3 months ago.

besides there has always been some kind of negative news about bitcoin in the media. many times it is like that becasue they are looking for something hot to post as news and many times it is because they are against bitcoin.

Governments all over the world are going to be pushing the anti-cash agenda soon, this means that people will search for alternatives, and Bitcoin is the only alternative for freedom once physical cash is removed. They know it, which is why they will keep attacking Bitcoin, but we will win.

Most people don't care about freedom with their cash.. They only care about ease of use and security through governments backing part of your savings when something bad happens.

At the moment any mention of bitcoin in the mainstream news is good imo. More people need to be aware of it first, later they can then consider using it. More and more of my friends are asking me how to get into bitcoin, so I guess the tides are slowly turning.

I think you are wrong, the media is a neutral party. Because I think the media also spread the word about the benefits bitcoin. I also know and use bitcoin because of acquiring of the media. Just imagine if without the media, maybe people in the world do not know bitcoin. LOL

[IMO] they do that for dropping the price, and after the price drop they will buy Bitcoin as much as they can. And then they will make a good news about Bitcoin til people come back again to use Bitcoin, and then they sell their Bitcoin to have a profit.

The media knows too well that bad news sells better than good news. We can't expect them to be all praises to bitcoin if they themselves are not that familiar with it. We know that media can really be big influencers when it comes to our decision making but we also can't expect them to report what they hardly know about.

Thats normal in report on bitcoin because almost all of illegal buyer, user  use this bitcoin in sending their payment to the seller of drugs or illegal Guns. But news didnt report about bitcoin's advantages? Yup because only few people wants to hear it, and some people watching this will feel boring. And for me, media dont want to destroy bitcoin because they just reporting what happening in the world. Even if they want to destroy it they cant.

There is hardly any mention of bitcoin in the UK in mainstream news channels, and if there is its usually negative, even the positive stories seem to have a negative connotation to them. The negativity doesn't seem to add fluctuations to the price so much now, but I'm sure that it puts people off. I mentioned to a friend that I was investing in BTC and his response was 'Isn't that only used by criminals', we could do with some more positivism from the media.

The media (television channels and newspapers) are under the control of governments and as the governments do not want bitcoin (because they are of the view that it is easy to use for criminals) so they use these media source for destroying this technology.

there is nothing alarming about this bad publicity about bitcoin in the media, this is only alarming to you because it is apparently the first time you listen to the media and the news. they say whatever they like and whatever they think is attractive and it doesn't matter if it is true or not.

or did you forget how they announced craig wrigt as satoshi without asking for any proof?

What you are telling is a long time ago , but in today Media is the first who are creating the small thing as a big bubble. They just wanted their channel to get high TRP so that they can get more revenue through advertisement. In my view today media are the one big threat to the public as most of the times they just spread the rumors with getting full detail about the actual news.

For the moment there is no worrying about the rush of publicity about bitcoin to the media . This may only concern for you because
it seems that you hear first is from the media and the news . ( Keep in mind ) they say what they like and whatever they find interesting
regardless of whether it is right or wrong

look at the media coverage say three years ago compared to now.

maybe one piece in five is a hatchet job and it's reversed compared to back then.

It's pretty rare to come across something totally uninformed these days.
