[2015-12-14] Google Searches for Bitcoin Surge by 157%

[tyz]

Bitcoin has had one its most interesting weeks since the beginning of 2015. The scandal of Craig Wright, Commonwealth Bank of Australia’s deployment of its own blockchain network and Ukraine’s largest bank’s announcement of a bitcoin-based commercial payments network have lured in a lot of attention to the cryptocurrency space.

I think the spark might have been with Craig Wright... He has most probably opened up a whole new audience in Australia. Another possible scenario could be that a lot of people,

possibly the wrong crowd, heard about Satoshi's hoard and the creator being identified. We may see loads of treasure hunters and thieves coming our way soon... On second

thought... they are amongst us already. The Google search increase is directly linked to the Bitcoin increase... so it's good news for us.

Whatever the underlying reasons for the surge in google searches, they seem to be positively impacting the price as well.
I am not complaining.
