People are eager for new things but bitcoin got a bad name because of the media. It's wrong but that's the way it is.
I guess bitcoin needs to proof itself once again.
Well, but the media has attracted more 'bad people' to use Bitcoin since they give a 'bad name' to our Bitcoin. There is no need for Bitcoin to prove itself, people just need to use their brain and don't trust every piece of the media words.
+1 for this, all the news about bitcoin only elaborate about scam, ponzi, and crime. not the good side of it and people who never use it believe what those media wrote..
Yeah those media are really trying to put down bitcoin but they will have to do a better job and bring up also the good news that bitcoin can bring to the economy.
the trend has been changing lately it is not like before any more, especially in other countries except USA.
the media and the government has been more accepting towards bitcoin in some countries for example Japan is considering announcing bitcoin as a real currency.
Over here in the UK the government has announced they're keeping their hands off of regulation for the time being, the chancellor has indicated his support, the BOE is busy researching and creating their own s**tcoin, RScoin...
All in all, it's a pretty good time to be involved, as the banks are actually trying to compete now, rather than sitting back and laughing at us. Makes it much more fun :-)
