Less hype means less people actually searching for Bitcoin. It's basically like how everything works when it comes to hypes. Some times I think about how it would have been better if we didn't manage to go up all the way till the $20,000 level last year. Currently the only thing I see and hear in the mainstream media, is how they talk about Bitcoin losing popularity, etc. It's impossible for them to understand that the all time high was NOT a fair reflection of the market, and that it only increased that much due to hype and speculation. Another main point they ignore, is the fact that last year we were hovering around $1000, while we currently hover around the $9,000 level. Does this look like Bitcoin is losing popularity?
