Why should anyone care? If you own BTC, then you have non-mainstream sources for pricing and news. If you don't own BTC, then what is there to read about?
The mainstream news rarely reports on commodity prices. When they do, it's because the price is tangentially relevant to a more important story.
So, congratulations I suppose. Bitcoin has matured enough to be granted the same status that the news gives to oil, cranberries and soybeans. It will be written about only when the price impacts a large number of consumers.

That's giving BC way too much credit. The cost of oil and soybeans have a HUGE impact on consumers (cranberries less so) where it actually matters - their fuel and their food.
The cost of BC has ZERO impact on 99.999% of humans - so commodity markets put about that much weight onto it (as they should).
