This trend coincides with Bitcoin’s value which nosedove since the beginning of the year. Personally, I’m not too worried about the Google search downtrend. Because when its surge happened, Bitcoin had become too much of a hot topic. Something that anyone, whether an avid investor or not, was talking about.
