Title: Google Trends 8/16/2011
Post by: the joint on August 16, 2011, 06:29:16 PM
Well, a look at Google trends indicates increased interest in the past couple of days.  Do you think this is related to the conference this upcoming weekend?  Might be the time to buy...

Edit:  I recognize the data for this assumption is minimal as it seems the increase started only 2 days ago and may just as well fall off again tomorrow.

It's up  a lot these last 2 days because of the mining trojan.  All news is good news.   ;D

My guess is the same or up a little bit.  The only thing supporting my guess is that it looks as if the 11.1 barrier is currently being tested a little bit, and so far we haven't really seen anything out of the 11 +/- .1 range in the last 36 hours (went down to 10.8 a bunch, but that barrier seems strong).

it JUST broke the 11.1 barrier right now and hit 11.2. and google trends specifically for the past is going very up

it means 104 people signed up on whatever. i didn't go far, but i just checked and it said the average daily sign up is 60. if it was something like 6 then your former guess would have been right i guess

Yeah - I've noticed the numbers as well and bought a bit.  Many other people also use google trends as indicator - so the price goes up immediately, but there will be a few weeks of delay before the people who searched will buy bitcoins.

that's new signups each day. So, yes 104 people signed up on the 15th.
