Bitcoin’s surge in social media attention this year can be attributed to an increase in the number of people doing general research on cryptocurrencies. Large market fluctuations can also contribute to this.

Almost every month this year, the crypto industry receives important news that has a significant impact on the price of bitcoin. Social media exploded in early February when Tesla bought $ 1.5 billion in BTC. In March, Tesla announced it would accept Bitcoin as a form of payment, which led to another spike in mentions.

The popularity was surpassed just two months later when Tesla stopped buying bitcoin. In the same month, China’s bitcoin miners saw a mass exodus that sparked another boom in social media.
