Google trends is showing search volume back where it was around October.
Most people who got in probably only cared about price, but many will no doubt be intrigued and decide to hang around and learn more.
I was kind of surprised when the "Bitcoin is dead" reports weren't so prominent in January and February. Apparently they're still out there, but it seems like the media is a little more hesitant to print that kind of thing this time around. They're starting to get the idea that this tech is here to stay.
Have a good one
