Over 100 million Bitcoin tweets in 2021

Not only has Bitcoin increased in value during this year's intimidating market, the world has its eyes on Bitcoin.

This is true for most social platforms, with the number of Bitcoin ads crashing all the time causing Bitcoin's public popularity to rise again this year.

According to Visibrain survey data, 111 million tweets contain the word "Bitcoin" in 2021.

This is an increase of 350% from the figures recorded in 2020.

The figure shows the number of tweets with the word "Bitcoin" from January 2009 to December 2021.

The significant increase in media attention that Bitcoin has gained over the past year can be understood as the increase in the number of people who understand cryptocurrencies. However, major changes in the market can also be a major cause of this situation. Every month of this year the cryptocurrency market will be hit with big news that has a big impact on the value of Bitcoin. In early February, the media was inundated with rumors that Tesla was buying $ 1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin. In March of this year, the company announced that it would accept Bitcoin as a payment method, which led to further rise in speculation.

Just two months later, the number of comments skyrocketed when Tesla rejected Bitcoin payments. That same month, China banned bitcoin mining, sparking another media scandal.

The graph shows the events associated with the most recent "Bitcoin" on Twitter in 2021.

The rise in June was due to the rise of Bitcoin as a fiat currency in El Salvador, which fostered the same news as when the Bitcoin bill was passed last September.
