Why media against bitcoin ?

[AjithBtc]

Actually media has not an attitude against btc or anything. Media doesn't interest in truth usually, they interest attraction. So they want to attract people with interesting content. That's why more and more news and reports about bitcoin.

Media always wants people to be in a dilemma or in a mesmerized state. This is possible only through illusions as well through fake news or exaggerating a common incident. Similar way now media has outlined bitcoin and the same has impacted bitcoin on a large scale. Hope this will change with the growth of bitcoin in the falling weeks.

Media is not against but government is against as they need large amount of tax.

This is not a tax problem, the Government has done its duty.
investors should feel safe to invest or trade crypto.
do not fall prejudiced against the Government.

[gakadem]

This is done to disrupt the market, because with negative news
investors will panic, then sell assets on a large scale, to protect their assets
and this is a strategy to weaken the bitcoin
It could be said that this is a business competition

[Black Angel]

This depends on the media owner, and we all know that the news in the media is full of conflicts of interest so as long as there is an expensive pay then they will accept without ever being concerned with the actual facts.

Media is spreading news which is sponsored by big corporate and Banking sectors where the most of the money flow going towards crypto currecny . They want to stop this flow and they want to take back financial independence from people.

I don't actually think that media is ''against'' bitcoin, but the idea is, it can be a means of promoting bitcoin and also increasing its popularity among the entire population. Why? Because once they are aware of it, they will be bothered by questions concerning what is bitcoin, once these questions were established, they might be hooked to it. Also, maybe some of the media people are truly ''against'' it maybe because other companies or other ''well-respective'' people are actually against bitcoin for some reasons.

when ever I found any news about bitcoin it is negative news , i am confused why traditional mass media always against bitcoin ?

Because drama sells newspapers...or clicks on a website. This is also the natural progression of human acceptance of a new technology. First people criticize it as a fad, then they say "well I would never need that", then they start to get curious, then they realize the want it, and finally they realize the need it.

We're in the "well I would never need that" phase with a few people starting to get curious.

Bitcoin's been making its epic run all year long. The mainstream media didn't care until August. And when they were reporting in August the news was all about "epic run, it's a fad, it's a bubble, bitcoin fans are foolish!" Now, in December, we're starting to see more articles about the future, the value, and the staying power of Bitcoin.

It's been fun to watch! Don't worry about the mainstream media...worry about your own personal comfort level with Bitcoin.

got it mate,thats how media works selling the drama while the truth is they only expose single side just to have proof,and some of them only waiting for brive to ignore what the real story is.but this thing dont bring bitcoin down,instead only letting bitcoin to be more popular.because good or bad publicity is still publicity

Selling drama is a core point of media else half the news would be boring af daily lmfao IMO atleast

Media is always against something new. Because the more drama they can present, the more profit they will have. Besides normal people does not know much about bitcoin still. Media is taking advantages of that situation. Also, some country does not allow bitcoin. That also creates a little bit o negative effect in the mind of the people. That is another reason why media is manipulating us with some fake news.

We need someone like Donald Trump to promote Bitcoin and thrash the media LODL

They were just used by influential people who just want to buy cryptos on much lower price or maybe from businessmen that thinks they need to bring down cryptocurrency since it became dangerous on their business, they just using media for their benefits.

Normally the media companies are owned solely by financial conglomerates or share holders of some of these financial conglomerates so the fact that no one seeks to  tell an unbiased view of bitcoins and let the people decide for themselves suggest that someone dosent want the general population to know the truth of what bit coin is , hopefully when people now see and hear the announcement from Samsung that they will be producing mining chips that will give thinking people a very good idea of what is happening. All these people in power who are painting a bad picture of bit coins is doing so with the sole objective of protecting their cash flow with little regard for us the normal regular population and what would be in our advantage.

[menoharrison]

is because the media thinks about bitcoins as a fake scam! so newspapers also make negative articles about bitcoin for public demand! you know newspaper only published their news for public demand for their own profit.

[Darklinkz]

I don't agree with that. Even that there are some instances that they got paid to release negative articles about bitcoin, it does not mean they are against it. It's just that they stick on what's the trend. When it's bear market, it's all FUD but when it's a bull market, they're like 100% supportive.

[asu]

I think they are against for it because its not aware of the benefits of bitcoin. And they are not knowledgeable for it. They want them   to get the bitcoin down.  Many news right now is that kind of bias. And took advantage for it. Many people have that crab mentality  attitude because they dont want us to achieve more. May be media will help bitcoin to promote bitcoin. Its kinda marketing strategy

Most people or news channels that criticize bitcoin and altcoins do so because they do not understand what bitcoin and altcoins are.That is the sickness of all people, we are so quick in judging at one thing or at someone, we manipulate things so that other people will be confused on what is the real truth,
You can see some governments that today say they will support bitcoin and tomorrow are in the press to criticize bitcoin. For people who own banks and certain governments who want to have total control of all their citizens so that their people become enslaved to their system, they do not look at bitcoin as a good thing. I myself do not watch certain news channels because they are news channels manipulated by the government or are manipulated by the elite of the political party that commands the country

They wanna drive the price down a few hundred dollars so they can make a few extra million

[Lester Cole]

looks like he's writing from a short-term perspective. hoping that stocks for oil and gas companies will catch up soon with rest of the market... even then i wouldn't put my money in them. just leaving this comment here because you actually gave a bad example of anti-cryptocurrency news

[vv181]

Because the nature of media is being biased?

I Believe the there is two option that why'd i see media is always having a negative sentiment about Bitcoin.
first, I believe most of them are uneducated, we can see hows their headline and news are terrible if we have known about Bitcoin, we can know easily which media is bad. second, I'm sure laziness is the part of it, the media director have a little time to research more about Bitcoin, so that will result in a biased opinion.

[icol333]

It depends on what media that issued the news. Mostly, if the media is government-pro and the government itself is against bitcoin, so the media will publish "tilting news" about the bitcoin. Vise versa, if the media itself is familiar with bitcoin and espouse with cryptocurrency (from their own research or another source).

 Most people are here on the new channels that have been criticized in a bitcoin and an altcoins  here we are moving .because everything does not move in.I think what bitcoin and altcoins are here to and why people are going to a normal judge about something they did not even even think before publishing articles should be criticized at bitcoin .and altcoin are seen most if a government in the present time that everyone would like to support bitcoin and tomorrow everyone is pressing to criticized the bitcoin of people who have his own bank and of course the government how we have control over all citizens so all people go toward the enslaved of a system , all I can not do is how to look it other in bitcoin as a good thing .I was not watched it manipulated by the government or all a political occasion that orders a country .
