I think bitcoin has hit a bit of a boring slump. I think there's just no excitement or interest from the media currently. I'm sure it'll pick up again eventually but I think we need some good news to get bitcoin back buzzing in the media again. All we've had recently was the SR trail and that's not exactly great publicity.
exactly, there was some buzz about bitcoin when the price jumped to 1000 USD+ a few years ago, but right now theres nothing that big to write news about bitcoin on, not in a positive light anyways. the only things i hear are negative, like that man who got robbed at gunpoint for bitcoins.
