I think this search stats at least show that some people are definitely interested in Bitcoin when the price rise in a short amount of time, your typical late comer guy, perhaps? But we need them to start the new hype cycle.
People are curious about what's going on, but that doesn't mean it will translate into something of positive nature. I hope it will this time, but I'm not going to put time into following searches until I see more upwards movement.
I agree, it's just people natural response to a when bitcoin made news of that sudden spike I''m sure twitter will experience that same reaction as well. There could be some Chinese investors who might invest on the ecosystem, but we won't see 2017 again. LOL. Lot's of irrational buyers and FOMO getting in without really doing research, and they think is that they can be instant millionaires, but they all got burned in matter of months.
