Nice to finally see bitcoin get some good publicity for once instead of them trying to drag bitcoin down. It's not too often we see this but when we do it's always a great thing to see as it's something that can help bitcoin gain the exposure that it needs.

Report is not completely positive, it is optimistic. It is saying that electronic money can interest the rich and the poor and banks are watching bitcoin. Didn't really say banks are pro or anti bitcoin.

very good propaganda. It will give positive impression to masses and increase its reputation. Even the media cant deny all the advantages bitcoin bring to us.

This type of news is not really good. The market price of bitcoin does't react at all. The massive recognition and adoption is still long way to go.

Why do people just concentrate on just the price?

Why do people just concentrate on just the price?

Because right now people buying Bitcoin mostly because of profit and expectation that price of Bitcoin will rise.
This will change when ''big'' merchants accept bitcoin and when Bitcoin become mainstream like Paypal.
