Charts don’t always tell the full story, and that situation is no different when it comes to these Google Trends results. Even though the number of Bitcoin searches has more than doubled, traffic did not start picking up until May 1st and 2nd, which was close to the date when Craig Wright claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto.
Whether or not this vast number of searches comes from mainstream media outlets trying to educate themselves on Bitcoin all of a sudden, remains to be seen. But it is probably not a coincidence to see the number of searches more than double before the Satoshi Nakamoto announcement. Someone has been doing a lot of research on Bitcoin all of a sudden.
