This really isn't anything new, banks and certain big-named individuals in general have been saying that Bitcoin is a bubble and whatever negative adjectives that could think of.
Now, is this bad publicity? Sure; but the statement "any publicity is good publicity" is definitely at play here.
Now the Banks and Governments are talking about launching their own Crypto to complete with Bitcoin but surely this wont be decentralised so its not really going to be 'The internet of money' is it?
More like 'money on the internet', and that's pretty much it.
