Here is a good article we wrote on American history through the lens of agriculture as the base productive industry unpacking how monetary history has integrated with the collapse of our capabilities and must be a part of restoring them
So it went from 80M bitcoin users worldwide to 50M American-only users in 2 years? That seems like a huge increase, especially because the United States is 26th in terms of search interest in this period.
Google trends search interest is a commonly misunderstood metric. It measures interest relative to all google searches in a given time period or area.
So if the population of country A is searching 1 billion times a day but only 5 million searches are about bitcoin, then it'll score way lower in search interest than country B, where the population is searching 100 million times a day and 1 million searches are about bitcoin. And yet, the total number of people searching is 5x higher in country A than B.
With that said, the 80 million users number we previously published was a conservative lower bound, before more extensive studies were done. Our upper bound went to 130 million at the time.
Here is a visualization of our explanation that shows estimated absolute search interest rather than the relative search interest shown by Google Trends https://x.com/River/status/1878878807043805377
