Well, here we go...we're probably going to hear bitcoin mentioned on major US news programs this week. Buckle up everybody, this is probably going to be a bumpy ride.
Can't be a bad thing, many first heard about it(myself included) in relation to silk road. While we have no interest in purchasing from silk road the bitcoin piqued interest. If it hits CNN negative or positive there's a fresh spike.
The problem is that the Silkroad angle will be used to attack and possiblly legislate against bitcoin. Senators are either themselves too stupid to understand that the connection between drugs and bitcoin is not a necessary one, or they do understand that, but are counting on the public not seeing the slight of hand they'll engage in in attacking bitcoin from that angle. First impressions are important. Some people will see past their obviously invalid or unsound arguments, but most people, sadly, won't.
