Very interesting bit of info, I suppose until we see this 'trend' slow off then we shall probably continue to see this steep growth in price.

Please note that this data is always a few days behind.  I wouldn't use it to judge future demand.

And on the same page "Bitcoin MtGox" is 20% of the "buy bitcoin" search volume.

So real life volume is at least 5 times larger than what flows into Gox?

That means 480.000 BTC bought today, that can't be right?

"Bitcoin MtGox" leaves out whether it's buying or selling the searcher is after.

I think the trend for 'blockchain' is much more awesome.  These are people who are actually (trying to) understand bitcoin, not just buying on a fad.

Nah, they just are looking for blockchain.info, not learning how the blockchain work

It seems people are more likely to search "buy bitcoins" compared to "buy bitcoin" now than in June . Overall interest is still slightly lower I'd say.
