Just turned on the BBC News Channel (freeview channel 80 in the UK) & they're doing a segment about bitcoin. More coverage = good news Smiley

Not necessarily if they keep slandering it by mentioning it alongside drugs, child porn, ponzis and scams etc. There has been some pretty decent and unbiased coverage on the BBC though.

I only saw a few minutes of it and I was preoccupied at the time so I'm not in a position to say how positive or negative the coverage was.

As I said above, I just heard the magic word bitcoin but that was about it! Was too preoccupied to stop & watch it.

It has everything to do with bitcoins lol. He is a developer for Dark Wallet. Just because it doesn't talk about bitcoin directly, it is positive news for one element of bitcoin that is quite important. The security.

At anyrate, any publicity that isn't negative is positive publicity Smiley
