Google Searches for 'Bitcoin Zero' Hit Record High in the United States

In February, the United States recorded a record surge in Google searches for the term "bitcoin zero." According to Google Trends, relative search interest reached the maximum value of 100, which coincided temporally with a substantial price correction in Bitcoin ^[1].

A similar pattern has been observed in the past: comparable peak values in U.S. searches were recorded near local price lows in both 2021 and 2022 ^[1].

Globally, however, the trend presents a different picture. Worldwide, search interest for the same term had already reached its peak of 100 in August and has been declining continuously since then – in February, the value stood at only 38 ^[1]. Google Trends emphasizes that the value of 100 does not represent absolute search volume, but rather a relative measure within the selected time period.

Bitcoin's price has recently failed to stabilize sustainably. The risk of another wave of selling remains, while the cryptocurrency continues to languish in a narrow trading range ^[1].
