Search for bitcoin that surpasses the stock when the economic sky is gloomy

What people search on the internet can often be a good indicator of potential investment trends. According to Google Trends, there are now more people interested in bitcoin than stocks.

Bitcoin passes stocks on the search front
For the first time since the end of 2017, bitcoin searches on Google have surpassed searches for stocks. For most of 2018 when bitcoin and electronic money were difficult in the bear market, looking for higher stocks.

Once again, the United States is leading financial tension with the escalating trade war with China. The collapse has since been felt across Asia as neighboring countries began to wonder if they would be the next target for Trump's tariffs.

Britain's Brexit created an unstable economic cloud that lasted more than two years when fighting between incompetent politicians delayed the process and prevented any opportunity to move forward. As a result, GBP has dropped to an unprecedented low for several years.

The problem of escalating debt in most developed countries may also be pushing people to study bitcoin as a way for them to find ways to counter their own currencies while worrying about a crisis. other finance.
