Sure seems to be concerted effort in some mainstream media to disparage BTC...interesting...

C'mon, blocks...gotta pay my hosting bill on the Ice Planet... Kiss

Credit Cards denying purchases of the coins themselves
Prices rising on miners/cards
Prices ~~falling~~ rising on coins themselves over the last 2 days.

Gotta HODL on and keep mining away.

FTFY

That's two days...gotta see a longer trend.

I'm comparing those to the miner prices which haven't necessarily dropped in step with the coins. Otherwise you're exactly right.

I've noticed an increase in trying to trash Bitcoin while trying to promote another coins. Funny how they seem to think Bitcoin is such a failure, yet these other coins or the blockchain is supposedly the "key". There is definitely an attempt to smear Bitcoin and I have no doubt that reason is because it the best chance of surviving the storms, especially the collapse of fiat currency.

If the government can't regulate or stop Bitcoin, what means would they go about acquiring it?

How plausible would it be for the FEDS to buy up Bitcoin as a quantitative easing asset?

They'd take over what they don't own already of Ripple first. I know it's altcoin talk but that's where they'd go first.

And now Bitcoin has dropped almost 1000 points.

I feel like they would (probably happening already) promote Ripple, but they know it's a company and can't be a threat to fiat currency. I think the unstoppable force would be the bigger threat and they would have to find a way to manipulate instead of trying to kill it.
