there is a good news in here somewhere but not because of what you said. there is no change in the people's perception of bitcoin. it has not changed that much. however what has changed is that the weak hand newbies who were panic selling are almost gone now. and these type of people have always been the loudest. which means they were mostly the target of FUD and the FUD spreaders themselves. now that they are mostly gone the community is calm and more silent because what is left is those who understand things better.
