Google Trends Shows Retail Interest Sees a Lull
It may have something to do with the coronavirus economy, but retail investor-based interest in digital assets seems to be lacking these days. Google Trends data shows that the searched term “bitcoin” is lower than it was on the week of May 10 through the 16th. At that time, the term “bitcoin” had a score of 80 out of 100 points.
Today, Google Trends (GT) shows the number tied to the term has dipped to 44 points. The phrase “buy bitcoin” used to be at the highest level of 100 on that same May 10-16 week, but today “buy bitcoin” is around 66 points for GT data.
Google Trends (GT) data for Friday, June 19, 2020, is 66 points. On the week of May 10-16, the “buy bitcoin” phrase touched 100 points.

Institutional investors are taking a bigger interest in bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency industry,” the Finsmes bitcoin price analysis further noted on Thursday.
