11 years? Bitcoin didn't even hit a news wire until 2017. That's when I first learned about it. You're a douche.
replied 2218d
Bitcoin was in the news well before 2017.
replied 2218d
Your definitely an outlier. Most would've heard in either 2013 or 2014 with the silk road and Mt.gox.

Neither of those was a mainstream news, but the run up to $250 and then to $1200 in 2013 was.

Most? LOL. You're definitely a douche.

I guess i kinda can be when the majority of people have known about BTC since 2013 or so and since you've been living under a rock until 2017 it must be new to everyone else too.

Prove to me in any way that the "Majority" of people knew about crypto in 2013? Most people today looked like deer in headlights when I bring up Bitcoin and crypto.

None of what you posted prove a "Majority" knew about crypto in 2013.
replied 2218d
No, but what i posted earlier definitely does prove 80% of people are aware of crypto by September 2018. So it isn't a ground level opportunity anymore like you seem to imply.
replied 2217d
It is a ground level opportunity, because the world obviously doesn't know yet that BTC sucks and that's why we just lost 25% of our value. BCH is definitely ground level.
replied 2217d
They do. That's why no one uses it outside of speculation. The public knows that's all it's good for.
replied 2217d
If you look at the same polls 40% of those polled said they were interested in using crypto. And you can't use BTC. So BCH will be the most likely one to be used the most
replied 2217d
True, but it's more likely people will be more interested in using LTC, ETH or a stablecoin like USDC or Libra.
replied 2217d
Whatever. LMAO
replied 2217d
Well hang on to your jock strap because BCH will be the biggest mover over the next five years You can take that to the bank.
replied 2218d
None of the topics were particularly popular, but BTC did however have a significant percentage relative to other topics.

By September 2018 80% of people heard of it. https://www.coindesk.com/survey-nearly-80-of-americans-have-heard-of-bitcoin

I cannot find any study made before 2017 yet.

Before the 2017 runup the only events to make any serious strides in google search trends were the Silk Road and Mt.Gox in 2013 and 2014.
replied 2218d
Obviously there was a spike in search trends in 2017. It's impossible to prove whether that was the first time people heard about Bitcoin.
