bitcoin is ...... ? What does your auto fill suggest ?

[Mbitr]

I was randomly typing into google and whilst typing in bitcoin is ........., google prompted the next word/phrase. Above is the list that I was prompted - in no particular order .
I was wondering what other members got as the first auto fill / prompt from their internet browser ?
It would be interesting to see what comes out as the most common and also why ?
Thanks

Mine is bitcoin is a form of money, which can be considered perfect result for the people searching for bitcoin for the first time. That won't be so frightening like "bitcoin is dead" or so technical like bitcoin is peer-to-peer electronic cash that has distributed decentralized system of nodes operating on the mathematical rules of code. Money is what people are always interested in. If people see that bitcoin is money, they start learning what money is in general. Then they start their journey into the cryptocurrency space. Adoption is spread.

This is what I've got  


Curious though, is the autofill function has something to do with my privacy? although I am not typing "bitcoin as form of money" or "not my safe word". In fact , I am not using Google.

[Mbitr]

Interesting answers already !
Mine comes up as .. usd , probably as I’m always checking decimals of bitcoin against US dollars, ie , 0.003, 0.08 .

Since this is common question, so I try it using google search... and this is the answer



This is so funny I never search Bitcoin is dead/scam/fraud etc, usually I search "Bitcoin to USD" or "Bitcoin news". Oh man, no comment from me... because I trust and believe in Bitcoin.

Just for reminder, never using Google browser if you have something privation about your personal information (e.g. using this forum) because it's spyware

I believe that that auto-fill doesn't necessarily come from your personal history but rather the aggregate data they got from various users. To put it simply, it shows what kind of keywords users using that search website use when they type the keywords. Which means they got your private search history too.

[rhomelmabini]

I don't know if I search for it from the past but somehow the very first suggestion was interesting and it's more of a technical side of a question as well and among the suggestion on the image one thing was only was really worthless, see it for yourself, by the way, I haven't searched for it. Google really has weird suggestions it could ever record.

[pooya87]

In fact , I am not using Google.

that is the reason. every search engine has its own algorithm and the "most searched terms" so technically when you search the same thing on a different engine you should get a different result hence the different suggestions in auto fill when you used DockDockGo instead.

Bitcoin is awesome

[pakhitheboss]

I tried doing the same, I tried first Bitcoin and Bitcoin is with my browser search and I got Bitcointalk. So, I went on to google search  and entered Bitcoin is and got a very fantastic auto result which was bitcoin is a public permisionless blockchain.

That is the truth!

The topic/title could need a change.

If I use the browser auto-completion for bitcoin is I get all the time the same thing: bitcoinwisdom.io/markets/bitstamp/btcusd
On the other hand, if I open google.com web page (which I didn't do in years, I think, although I use google as main search engine), I get bitcoin usd.


PS. Now it's a lot better (at least I cannot complain )

[danherbias07]

It also depends on what you are searching mostly and what country you are.
I tried just bitcoin then put a space afterwards and this are the results.



(in php) is there since I am from Philippines and I mostly search it.
Then I tried bitcoin is (space)
Mine is different than the results which is listed in your poll.
..legit
..real
..going down

Yep, didn’t read so well.
Hope this is clearer ?

Here's mine:



I dont know why each everyone of us do have different autofill results... Does it depend on how you search up?
Base up on image it shows too much negative. 

[davis196]

Unfortunately I can't take a screenshot from my browser.He are mine auto fill suggestions:
bitcoin is:
-an example of which type of blockchain
- a_network of nodes
-dead
-a type of public blockchain
-a public permisionless blockchain
-the future
-legal in India
-worthless
-what

Pretty strange results.It's weird that my auto fill results are different.I assume that Google tracks our search activities and changes the suggestions based on our previous searches,that are related to the topic.

There is something called autocomplete in Google search engine, and the whole thing is actually based on predictions when you type characters in search box. The way Google does this is explained in the following section :

You’ll notice we call these autocomplete “predictions” rather than “suggestions,” and there’s a good reason for that. Autocomplete is designed to help people complete a search they were intending to do, not to suggest new types of searches to be performed. These are our best predictions of the query you were likely to continue entering.

How do we determine these predictions? We look at the real searches that happen on Google and show common and trending ones relevant to the characters that are entered and also related to your location and previous searches.

So the reason we see different predictions is that we are in different locations and that those predictions adapt to our previous searches. In other words, big brother knows a lot more about you than you think. This is also show what people close to you location (maybe your country) search most when it comes to Bitcoin.

I try to write again in a different browser tab, the results should be the same

When I read this it was actually the Autocomplete Suggestion feature. Apart from Google, other websites also use this feature. The goal is, helping increase typing speed for physically challenged people, and to help them reduce the number of key presses on the keyboard to complete a word or sentence.
How this works:

Google's Autocomplete Suggestion feature provides several suggestions from:
1. A search that is often done by people.
2. Based on location and language.
3. Based on your previous search.

Just had a quick trip around the world via VPN. Nothing much different to what has already been posted above... although the first suggestion for 'bitcoin is' from Canada was 'bitcoin Islam'

[Reid]

I have seen some bad results with other members so I tried to be different by using another search engine.

Yahoo


MSN


Look at MSN, something is different from the way the AI provide results.
While Yahoo and Google almost have the same results with just synonyms and antonyms of the words fake and real.

For me, Bitcoin is legal.

With me it auto-fills with the following; Legit, Legal, Dead, Real, USD, Going down and Crashing but what catches my attention the most is "dead" so I tried to click it and see what is it all about and I found out that it is about the Forbes article back in the 2019 and they are only trying to foresee what may happen in May 2020 halving. In fact, they just mentioned that it wouldn't be the end but had crashed down and it doesn't even give much information at all. One statement that was mentioned that I'm really certain and made me laugh is "Bitcoin is not dead but one day you will".
