How do you interprete this?

[nakamura12]

I noticed that googl no longer shows the price and market data by default when you search btc to usd. How I interpret this is nothing since they only hide it. I don't usually use it before but I did use it to for comparison to other platforms between their prices and such. If Google will show it once again then nothing happens at all. As I have said, people wil only use it to know the price and maybe make an analysis about its price movements.

Google Search Stops Displaying Bitcoin and Crypto Price Data

Previously, Google provided charts displaying the current rates of leading cryptocurrencies, enabling users to check prices anytime. Consequently, this feature enabled users to see real-time or near-real-time price charts for Bitcoin without the need to navigate to another financial site or platform.

Just remembered, the last time Google search trends lined up with Bitcoin’s price was during the bull run. Back then, Google searches were used to gauge people’s interest in investing. Recently, it was reported that searches for Bitcoin have dropped, yet the price is still bullish. What’s going on here? When we think of Google searches, it’s usually driven by regular folks. But with the price soaring, could it be that institutional investors are behind the bullish trend, while the general public hasn’t jumped on the hype yet? Or maybe we’ll soon see a surge in searches as people start to FOMO in?

As for me, i don't think there is a need for me going through google in most cases before i could get the accurate search needed for me to achieve, either on speculations or any other related crypto updates, because there are enough platforms there to make use of, which can be as accurate as what we have expected to see from them, while from the use of google, they may only provide us with random response which may not best fit in our demands.

I interpret the news as misinterpreting it. They have not disappeared, they are just not shown by default, and now you have to go to the ‘finance’ tab to see it.

We can speculate why but we would never know the reason behind Google's decision. It could be because of regulations but maybe it is just to avoid people who are not really interested in bitcoin's price but is interested in seeing some articles or just generally want to learn about crypto or bitcoin. Google caters to the people and we know that they have the most sophisticated technology so they probably checked their data. How many people searching for bitcoin actually wants to see the price and how many are looking for something else.

If it is because of regulations, should it be different per region or country? Why would Google implement something because of a regional organization all over the world?

[Darker45]

I use Google whenever I need to know the USD or local fiat price of a certain amount of Bitcoin or even top altcoins. I just did it now and it isn't gone. It's still there. It's very handy. I don't even have to click search or press enter. It comes out right away. So I haven't noticed what's being disabled or what.





Anyway, it seems to me the general public seldom starts a bull run. Often, there's something big that happens first before the rest of them start getting into FOMO. There needs to be a significant initiator before the flock do their own thing and a trend is created.

[jcojci]

I don't believe in Google result because many times they don't give a right result that I want. We can not say that the searches for Bitcoin have dropped because that will depends on the keyword that people use. If you use the other keyword, maybe you will get different results.

People now just not use one keyword as their based search and they tend to use more keyword to find what they want. Besides that, with the growing of social media such as Tiktok, Instagram, X, FB and others makes people have more various ways to find something. So we can not say that the searches from Google dropped than the last years but we should find out from the other websites. But we already see what happen to Bitcoin today where the price increase and there is a tends to still increase.

Hopefully, that will happen and we will see the above of $70k. So we should wait and prepare ourselves for the coming of bull run.

You know i'm not sure what they're trying to do with this here but it seems a little fishy. At the end of the day I don't really give a crap whether or not google displays the price or not it just makes me revert back to coin market cap which is better anyways. If anything I think its an opportunity for someone to think of a clever landing page / conversion chart on BTC or something. Personally I favor Clark Moody tho, that breakdown is very pleasing to the eye, for any conversions tho just use a calculator, duh

This might be a minor inconvenience for some, but it's also a reminder that the crypto landscape is constantly evolving. Possibly reflecting the ongoing tensions between traditional finance and the growing crypto world.

Very well right on the fact that the traditional financial landscape is under control of the government and with that there will be constant tension as regards to cryptocurrency, and at most many factors will be employed just to undermined Access to such information as regards to Bitcoin, this could be a deliberate attempt and also a negation to how oftentimes more and more people have access to direct information as regards to Bitcoin, although whatever appears on Google search is what other internet users post's about such subject and is time it shows less people are making comments in the internet as regards to Bitcoin price predictions.

The decrease in search volume for Bitcoin aligns with historical data, which suggests that low search interest often precedes significant price increases. Market stagnation can present prime opportunities for investors.

Many will think that Bitcoin is over Priced with it currently increasingly high value, many now attempt to shift attention to other coins that are just short term trends that may likely not stay for long before faddin out in most cases, so let be clear with, why the decrease in search demands for Bitcoin Price on google, but still nothing to worry about as this doesn't make any impact on Bitcoin popularity in any ways.

It sparks curiosity about the motivations behind this move, could it be an attempt to limit easy access to crypto data, or simply a strategic shift?

I don't think so, because google search can not represent such a data that their is limits to access to Bitcoin and it informations, because value present demands and such it clear that since Bitcoin value is still at high price it significantly means that alot More are having Access to Bitcoin and a lot of buy order now exceeding the sell orders, this show's the growing interest in Bitcoin.

[Peanutswar]

In this upcoming bull run or every news came from internet and once people see the potential again of the bitcoin for sure the search and statistics will show up again in their recommendations and people again will curious. Well this most likely happens if theres a big event like the price of the bitcoin pump or likely politicians like trump support and about the outcome of the bitcoin if he win this coming election.

[Adbitco]

I don't search Bitcoin price directly instead I searched coinmarketcap from then I go directly to site to check my bitcoin price.
Sometimes it's mostly happens to a newly buy device, when you search some things only you wouldn't get the information, but with an old device that you have been surfing the net with would quickly display the results you searched. I believe this could be as a result of browsing history or cache history on your device or PC.

The guy, who wrote this cryptonews.com article is completely wrong, or maybe he is trying to spread FUD.
I get the Bitcoin to USD real time price chart on both Microsoft Bing Search and Google Search. The guy probably had problems with this laptop or something. The weird thing is that sometimes when I search for "BTC for USD" on both Google and Bing, the price chart disappears, but it shows up again after a day or two. Maybe Google and Microsoft are updating their search engines and this causes temporary changes in the search results.

Having this in the first page of results was really handy for doing quick conversions. This didn’t just affect Bitcoin but altcoins also. Sometimes I want to know the exchange rate for different coins to see if I’m getting a fair price when buying things with crypto or when doing a swap between different coins. Whatever caused this technical issue, it has already been fixed by Google.

For me, when I write "BTC to USD", it's still working and is not hidden, though, some say that it's just hidden in the "Finance" tab

[Wexnident]

I wouldn't be surprised if it had to do with some EU measure, and I say this as my own speculation, but something similar happened recently. Before, when you searched for a street, it immediately showed you google maps and now, due to an EU antitrust measure, it no longer shows it and you have to search for it from the app or add ‘maps’ to the name of the street you are looking for.

Oh so that's where it went. I've been wondering where it was the past few days since it was my go-to whenever I wanted to quickly check on the market.

On checking though, Maybe the live tracking API that Google had just temporarily went down? Rechecked it (both desktop and mobile) and the chart once again appears, so it doesn't seem like Google intentionally moved it or anything. Took quite some time to restore it hence why Mr FUD journalist here probably made the article lol.

No one should trust what Google does or doesn't show as search results, and if you care about privacy then you should use other search engines. As for regular people, as always, they are the last to react, I have no doubt that this will be the case this time as well. The data on the inflow into spot ETFs say that 2 days ago we had 8400 BTC, and on two occasions another 3700 and 4100 BTC, which means that large investors are intensifying their activities, which is obviously reflected in the price.

Looks like the price will still have to cross $70k and stay there for a while to trigger FOMO.

coinmarketcap is a good place to do any similar kind of search about Bitcoin price and any other prices someone would like to check, though searching Bitcoin directly is also nice because it has some unique ways of getting any kind of Bitcoin calculation you want because if you have use the direct search before you will see that it has already calculated what one unit of Bitcoin is worth on your fiat currency and for those who have an amount of money on their fiat to invest on Bitcoin can find it very easy in calculating it from there to know what they would have in Bitcoin after buying but for coinmarketcap the person will have to go through the stress of punching their calculator before they can get the information they need, so if not for the Google adjustment it would have been good for inexperience people to use the direct search in checking the price.

Yeah, and it was made basically just to fud about it, in my opinion. Hence way that's the opinion he wrote about: to get attention to what he thought

[DaveF]

BTC price and btc to usd give me all the info.

EXCEPT when I am logged into chrome with an account that is part of a domain that I support for a customer.

I'm wondering if it's some setting in a Google account perhaps business and / or personal that causes some filtering / changes.

Some odd settings in some ad block or similar software?

But for me same browser. No account it's fine, my account it's fine, small corporate account not there....

All US based if that matters.

[kryptqnick]

I agree with Don Pedro Dinero that the limitation is probably region-based and perhaps related to some EU restrictions or whatever. In my country, when I google "Bitcoin" or "Bitcoin price", I immediately get the price chart (in local fiat, but it's in USD if I add the word "USD" to my google search), just like before. So the limitation isn't a worldwide policy by Google. Similarly, search results for locations include maps in my country, and I wasn't aware that there were limitations on it elsewhere.

[Z-tight]

Just seeing this thread and checking, but i don't see any changes from my own end, everything is as it used to be and i have read through the thread to see that there are users like me. Those who initially experienced the changes should check again, i believe theirs should also be the way it should.

Looks like the price will still have to cross $70k and stay there for a while to trigger FOMO.

I believe so too, if the price crosses $70k and stays above that, people would know that what's next is $80k and above and that is really high, and it should trigger FOMO amongst people who are waiting for BTC price to be bullish before they buy.

It seems to me that the expectations from each new halving are getting higher and higher because the number of those who invest in BTC is obviously increasing - but what people cannot understand is that halving does not mean an automatic increase in the price that some clearly ill-informed media are promoting.

History repeats itself only with some new numbers - those who not so long ago bought under $50k are enjoying the moment, those others are wondering if the bull run has started or is this just another trap.
