It is easy to see why more people are interested in Bitcoin these days with the crowd chasing the price gains... BTC is up 658% year to date for +6,263.
While the precious metals markets up the following amounts: Gold 11.41%, Silver 6.43% and the Miners ETF GDX up 9.02%
I think the cryptocurrency market is still in an early phase and there is a lot of years ahead for growth, for both coins and applications. With more countries becoming economically unstable, the migration to a safe haven asset in digital assets may continue to spur both interest and investment.
Very interesting. I hadn't thought to do a trends search like that. I do use GoogleTrends for trying to forecast eCommerce sales of various products so I know how to stock inventory.
