Article Summaries:
- Google Trends shows U.S. searches for “bitcoin zero” hit a record 100 in February, coinciding with Bitcoin’s slide toward $60 000 after its October peak. The spike signals heightened retail anxiety, but the relative‑interest scale means it may not reflect a larger absolute search volume. Globally, the term peaked in August and has since fallen to 38, indicating that panic is more U.S.‑centric than worldwide. Similar U.S. spikes in 2021‑22 lined up with local lows, yet the current global cooling of fear searches suggests the “bottom” signal is mixed. Recent tariff‑related risk‑off sentiment in U.S. markets may be driving the domestic spike.
