Don't get me wrong - this thread is ridiculous, but thinking that bitcoin has gained "real traction" is only little bit less ridiculous

In normal news for people who are not involved in crypto world bitcoin is still something strange and unknown and on same level as other crypto things. There was a little hype few months ago and average person saw bitcoin mentioned about 4 times in general news when there was that big jump in price. since then it was mentioned 0 times in last 3 or something months.
I am talking about news that usual people watch and read.
