Intelligent people will look at the facts and make their own mind up, but when most just see headlines of FLAW FOUND IN BITCOIN PROTOCOL - PRICE CRASHES and IS BITCOIN A PONZI OR A BUBBLE? etc people tend to get scared away.
I read that article actually (IS BITCOIN A PONZI OR A BUBBLE?) it's really a great piece... check it out
https://coinreport.net/bitcoin-a-bubble-ponzi/I think we all need to accept the fact that bitcoin is 1) here to stay. and 2) it will get coverage on media outlets whether good or bad.
The only thing that bugs me is when the mainstream media go outta their way to portray negative views about bitcoin. They make themselves look bad (pointing fingers towards fox/cnbc...) Altho i do agree with the above comments that any coverage of bitcoin is good because it shows the strength of the community as a whole. If the media says something wrong about bitcoin, we see rebuttals pop up instantly around the web. I think especially nowadays you can't really hide the facts for long...
Well the media thrives on bad news. Look at the ratio of bad to good shit on there. It's always good news for people who love bad news.
