Bitcoin's finally going mainstream and it's just awesome to see.
A few slight and shady mentions on TV shows isn't exactly going mainstream lol. Massive merchants accepting Bitcoin is going mainstream.
I think a good way to look at it is this: Bad publicity is ALWAYS better than no publicity. I hate to say it but look at someone like Justin Beiber. He's hated by a shit load of people yet he has more money than all of us combined (most likely).
