Bitcoin Price Recaptures 50% of All-Time High, But Google Search Remains Stagnant

In the fourth and final quarter of 2017, Bitcoin price grew rapidly due to increase public awareness and interest, and so did search queries related to the crypto asset as people attempted to get up to speed on the emerging financial technology. But as the crypto hype bubble popped, interest waned significantly and along with it, Google search queries about the first every cryptocurrency plummeted almost as fast at crypto prices did across the market.

However, in recent weeks, the bullish sentiment has been revived and Bitcoin price has gone parabolic once again. Unfortunately, though, Google search interest has barely moved relative to the rise seen back in 2017. Although there are some additional factors this time around that might be preventing Google search from trending up much further from here.

Google Search for #1 Crypto Barely Moves With Recent Price Action

Bitcoin has reached nearly 50% of its previous all-time high price of $20,000 set back in December 2017, however, Google searches for the keyword have yet to make up any lost ground.

In fact, according to one crypto asset analyst, Google search interest for Bitcoin is only at 10% of its all-time high, meanwhile, price is sitting somewhere closer to roughly 45%.

While Bitcoin's price is at 45% of its all time high, the relative Google search interest for "Bitcoin" is only at 10% of its all time high. https://t.co/BLtKQIo5Rj

A few months back, search queries for altcoins on Google Trends began spiking upward, which many assumed to be a signal that an “alt season” was upon us. But instead, altcoins fell to new lows relative to their BTC trading pairs.

Increased Bitcoin Awareness Means Less Curiosity and Search Interest

The reason for the lack of gains in Bitcoin related search terms following such a powerful bullish rally isn’t necessarily a bad thing for the cryptocurrency created by Satoshi Nakamoto.

It could indicate that Bitcoin has a lot further to go before peak hype returns, and alternatively, the fact that Bitcoin has become such a commonplace, household term – even being added to the Scrabble official word list, and being an answer on the hit television show Jeopardy – could simply mean that far more people know what the asset is and don’t have to search for it anymore to find out what others are talking about.

Since Bitcoin’s meteoric rise in 2017 that captured the public eye, the cryptocurrency has made substantial fundamental progress and taken huge strides towards real world adoption. Bitcoin is now associated with brands like AT&T, Starbucks, Square, and even something as simple, common, and likely overlooked as being added to Coinstar machines in grocery stores has significant impact on the cryptocurrency’s awareness. The lack of a spike in Google searches is probably the best sign yet that Bitcoin is here to stay.

Tony Spilotro

I'm Tony Spilotro. Behind the pseudonym, I'm a digital media executive and global remote work leader with a decade of content experience and excellent. Here, I explore my newfound passions pertaining to privacy, finance, economics, politics, cryptography, property rights, and other libertarian-esque views. I am a Bitcoin evangelist, maximalist, and educator whenever I can be, helping to spread its message of freedom from government control, monetary policy mismanagement, and passing the buck - literally – to future generations. My journey from a curious retail crypto investor to a serious Bitcoin advocate, trader, and technical analyst is an unusual one, but life-changing nonetheless and has become less about money and more about a long-overdue revolution. While a firm believer in the laws governing math and science, I am profoundly fascinated by the impact of astrology and astronomy including moon and solar cycles and planetary alignment and their ability to influence and potentially predict markets. It hasn't yet clicked for me as to how to put anything to use, but I consider it my current rabbit hole I can't yet dig out of. My perspective of growing up alongside the internet, the dot com era, the Great Recession, and roots in video games collecting coins and rare items caused Bitcoin to immediately make sense to me. Through all of these lenses, I seek to produce content that is educational and entertaining, and I thank you sincerely for taking the time to read what I have to say. Please follow me on Twitter and feel free to drop me a line if you would like to work together.
