Bitcoin Outperforming Typical Heavy Hitters in Terms of Google Searches
Google Trends is a fantastic tool for comparing how different search phrases compare in terms of popularity. It therefore provides a window into what the internet users of the world are passionate about. One of those things right now is Bitcoin.

According to a post by Ethereum-focused blockchain software company ConsenSys, the term “Bitcoin” is being searched for will more frequency that many other consistently popular searches.

When compared with the term “Donald Trump”, ConsenSys found that the last twelve months has seen the two popular search terms jostle for dominance, with “Bitcoin” breaking out in recent months. Naturally, when people hear about rising Bitcoin prices, they are much more inclined to search Google for the crypto asset.

Unsurprisingly, searches for the US President dominate over those for Bitcoin in North America. Meanwhile, South America, Europe, Australia, and much of Asia shows the opposite.

The terms “Tesla” and “Kim Kardashian” were then included in the comparison. “Tesla” actually outperformed Bitcoin over the last twelve months on average and is currently at almost equal popularity as a search term.

A surge in the numbers Googling “Kim Kardashian” in recent months wasn’t enough to overtake Bitcoin, however. At almost the exact moment interest picked up in the media personality, Bitcoin’s price rally was noticed leading to more searching for the crypto asset.
