With the explosion of interest in Bitcoin over the pass two months due to the massive jump in price, millions of people are beginning to hear about it via word of mouth and the news. To get an idea of just where general awareness lies I have compared search interest using Google trends. In the chart above I have compared Bitcoin to Love (the search term). Love is a universal human search query and is very stable so we can get a good idea where Bitcoin stands by looking at the comparison. As can be clearly seen Bitcoin is coming very close to surpassing Love in search interest and that is a very big deal.





The time scale of the graph is 5 years.
