Any press is good, right? At least theyre keeping it in the news and making it current. Were in trouble if they stop writing about Bitcoin.

Not necessarily. When the only press is completely devoid of facts, insists that it's a scam, or insists that it's only purpose is child pornography and terrorism, then the next step is an uninformed congressman lobbying to "shut it down." (Which, ironically, would make the lies of the sensational press come true.)

Exactly how would they go about "shutting it down?"

They come in your house and find bitcoin on your computer and arrest you for terrorism and child porn. Then you are in jail.
