Oh look. Another Bloomberg article shitting on bitcoin. Seriously, I don't even have to guess the source of these doom and gloom articles on HN anymore. They are wrong way more than they are right and have made it a sport to generate clickbait like this article, titled: The Bitcoin Fad Is Fading—for Now (note the word 'fad', clearly meant to be inflammatory). So, does anyone want to ask why the vast majority of searches for "Bloomberg" originate in Turkey, Singapore, and Hong Kong? Seems odd that interest in the term would be low enough in the US to place it outside the top 10. https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=bloomberg,bitcoin https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=bloomberg,bitcoin What's stranger is that the trends for 'Bloomberg' Turkey don't match any surrounding countries (that I checked), and outside Singapore and China, relative volume has dropped over the past few years, especially in Asia. https://www.google.com/trends/correlate/search?e=bloomberg&t=weekly&p=tr# https://www.google.com/trends/correlate/search?e=bloomberg&t... Maybe it's the conspiracy nut in me, but if I was a conservative financial news source and I saw a lot of interest in a totally new financial system that I don't understand (or have influence over), I'd be afraid, too. I mean, if the search interest in bitcoin was showing strength in those new markets I just spent cultivating, I'd probably downplay it too. But that's probably not what's happening... https://www.google.com/trends/correlate/search?e=bitcoin&t=weekly&p=tr# https://www.google.com/trends/correlate/search?e=bitcoin&t=w... Or it totally is. So, is the fad of Bloomberg fading? Nah, they've been consistently low for years, and everyone loves a 0 growth business. Is Bloomberg about to collapse? Hopefully. Fucking dinosaurs, man. The worst part about them is having to hear their death moans from miles away.
