Looking at the google trends data you can see how the volume of searches on google regarding bitcoin has literally skyrocketed in the last few days; at the same time as the growth of online interest, as we have already had the opportunity to explain in an article a few hours ago, the prices have also shot up and, in both cases, it seems that the reason for all this is the tensions between the US and Iran.
However, while in the case of prices this type of correlation is only one of the various interpretations that analysts gave to the latest explosion of bullish volatility, in the case of the volumes of research we can be sure that it was precisely the critical situation of the boom that generated the boom.
'Iran; in fact, it is precisely the "bitcoin Iran" key that has made a huge leap forward to guide the search volume.
In any case, it is precisely the interest in bitcoin that has taken a step forward and it therefore begins to be decidedly legitimate to believe that this whole matter is attributable precisely to tensions in the Middle East.
Globally, the greatest interest comes from Nigeria, closely followed by Canada and Singapore, while the USA only ranks fourth; This says a lot, among other things, on how much Africa, as we have repeated on several occasions, will prove to be a crucial country for the spread of bitcoin as a means of payment.
Meanwhile, as reported in a recent article, the bitcoin prices on local Iranian exchanges have skyrocketed, reaching a maximum of 24 thousand dollars just a couple of days ago and the sentiment of the community is growing visibly, also by virtue of the fact that the countdown for the expected halving, the halving of the reward for the miners expected by mid-May has now started; in short, this 2020 has opened with enthusiasm for cryptocurrency enthusiasts, given that in any case analysts are still quite divided between those who already signal the start of a new bull run and those who, like myself, prefer to invite to prudence.
