Were they all asleep all this time? $2445 already.

BBC came in late but better than nothing we shall at least get more exposure and possibly new users to join the crypto world but reading the article i honestly think its too back dated!

Moreover, fees have also risen, hitting a high of $5 per transaction at the start of June.

Such news reporting will dent bitcoin, fees are far much better now

I think this is a good news. Bbc is one of the news studio that is so reliable that makes all people around the globe watch their news as it spread throughout the world. Which means that bitcoin will be known to the whole world. It would be so cool for this to happen, it will make us reach the cryptocurrency world we are talking about where all people use cryptocurrency as a currency of their country.

Yup and the story is now in the top 10 most read articles.

Meanwhile elsewhere in the cryptosphere the BTC price is breaking out.

Since several hours the price is increasing rapidly, I think it's because we are close to the lock-in, and it looks promising at this moment.

Were they all asleep all this time? $2445 already.

And now its already approaching $2600.

Since several hours the price is increasing rapidly, I think it's because we are close to the lock-in, and it looks promising at this moment.

At the current rate its almost certainly locking in this period if not then F2pool and Slush should signal in the next period.

Funny thing is they were able to recognize bitcoin when it is almost a decade now and when its price is more than $2000.  But it is better late than never.  Feauturing bitcoin in a news channel like bbc will open more doors for bitcoin and for us.  It could open more establishments to accept bitcoin as means of payment.  Bitcoin price will continue to go up if there would be more user.

There are only 3 reasons that bitcoin makes it in the mainstream media headlines:

1) The price is hitting all time highs or some kind of impressive rally
2) The price is crashing and breaking floor resistances
3) Another fake satoshi is found

This is literally all they ever report. They never report anything actually interesting. Just ignore mainstream media, they are clueless.

First time I've seen it on BBC News front page and in the top 10 most read though.

This is the one that everyone likes  no matter what media it is if someone claims to be Satoshi then they make it a huge news even though they are pretty sure its a fake Satoshi. This is one of the reasons I don't like mainstream media they are always on the frontline to show news even if it's fake if it is their good interest.

How media can change the situation with bitcoin? It does not have the power to make even the government. Journalists are just trying to jump on the leaving train and earn money for the report. Nothing depends on them. The blockchain lives on the network and users don't care attitude to bitcoin, the Media or the government. Get used to freedom.

Now number 4 in the top 10 of most read stories.

[Kprawn]

Mainstream media cannot seem to see through the scam that is Ethereum. 

"........Such as schism could help rival cryptocurrencies, such as Ethereum, prosper and ultimately doom Bitcoin altogether. " Bitcoin users know

the difference between a coin where you have ZERO centralized authority and control {Bitcoin} and a coin that has a Foundation with centralized

control. This Foundation can be corrupted and arrested and influenced by governments.

Bitcoin swings as civil war looms

Not very appealing but there's no such thing as bad publicity 

[iamTom123]

Notwithstanding the fact that some data can already be outdated, still the fact that BBC allotted space and time for Bitcoin is already some sort of a victory. Now, we should be happier if BBC can give regular updates for Bitcoin in their news. Good media coverage coming from big networks can help in the spread of Bitcoin especially to people who have not yet heard what it is.

Now, that the civil war can be over for good and we can all move on...I am so sure that Bitcoin's price can astronomically accelerate to greater heights never seen before in the entire Bitcoin history. And again, I am sure mainstream media can be covering that related story.

well it is a known fact that any news is good publicity.
are we looking at a $3000+ rise soon?
it does look like there is an upsurge at the moment as we pass $2600

Bitcoin has been on BBC's news front page before mate. BBC are slow as snails when they write about any techno news anyways lol.

[Sithara007]

As usual, a lot of negatives been thrown in the article. Very typical of the BBC. They have mentioned that BTC came down to $1,800 from a peak of $3,000. But there is no mention of its rise from $1,000 per coin to $3,000. Also, the article clearly mentions that the fee can be as high as $5, but hides the fact that right now even $0.10 fee transactions are getting confirmed.

[btcprospecter]

Yeah price is rising quickly expecially after last week's blip. It is good it's getting a spotlight for good reasons other than the it's use on the dark Web on elicit goods.
