Wasn't there a saying like bad news sells? In other words people won't pay to read about a basket full of puppies

I agree and think it's more of an effort to focus on positive stories.

It might take some time for the general public to forget about MtGox and other negative stories.
Im sure when more big companies start accepting BTC this attitude will change.

Any news is good news at this point.  I found out about Bitcoin when a guy lost several hundred thousand due to a hack.  This was several years ago.  The smart people will do their own due diligence and go just beyond the words of a single story, right now it's more about getting the word out regardless of how that is construed.

The countless bad news make bitcoin harder to get public acceptance. Now average people think about bitcoin as something related to drug, scam.

if you have a business, start accepting bitcoin.
if you have a facebook page, make posts about bitcoin.
if you have friends and family, express your enthusiasm for bitcoin and educate them about bitcoin.
if you see an article online about bitcoin, post a supporting comment.

other than that, dont worry about it.  the fact is, bitcoin is
a revolutionary technology and will continue to be
adopted by more people and businesses.

The solution is to expose that it's governments that are manufacturing this negativity, not Bitcoin. Take MtGox for example, the only reason it maintained its market position is because governments are producing a chilling effect. A centralized Bitcoin exchange is a cash cow of epic proportions that everyone and their grandmother would ordinarily be stampeding to enter, but the prospect of having to plea against trumped up charges suddenly poisons the well.

600$ is the nonstop negativity price

what would it be with neutral news - or good news? 1000? 2000? 5000? 

[EvilPanda]

It depends how you see it but there's been a lot of positive news as well. Just go to coindesk, at least 50% articles there are positive.

$702 BTC/CAD@Bitstamp looks like any news is good news.

Some of my classmates (note I'm studying engineering and I'm in my second year, and I was allowed to choose my classmates this semester so they are not dumb by any means) said I made a huge mistake having invested so much money in bitcoin and tought I lost all my money because mtgox went bankrupt. I had to explain them that mtgox actually had little to do with bitcoin because most people who were serious about bitcoin avoided mtgox like the plague anyway.

Cool story. Then what happened ?

It's going to take a while for the Mt. Gox bankruptcy to blow-over, but BTC seems to be holding up quite well despite of all the bad press.

It's fine we will have bulls coming in for a while yet then the bears lagging behind

If dipshits IN bitcoin would stop doing stupid shit, we could convince regular people that bitcoin isn't just a bunch of stupid people. 
It's hard to get people on board with so many scumbags in bitcoin.

[notbatman]

IBTCM could do a lot for Bitcoin.

Remote, anonymous, irreversible transactions are a scumbag magnet.  Over half the Bitcoin exchanges have gone bust. And that was before Mt. Gox. The "online wallets" were even worse.

Bitcoin also seems to be a sucker magnet. Look at the topics on this board. "High Yield Investment Programs". "Lending" at 200%/year. If there were real financial opportunities that good, they wouldn't be advertised on here.

Bitcoin - connecting scammers and suckers since 2009.

HA!  That's funny.  Too bad the FUDers will probably use it.

QFT!!! The longer Bitcoin stays under 10,000 usd, the longer we get insanely under-valued BTC. This is good for us, just keep buying.
