Bitshares interest on Google Trends and Bitshares price

Bitshares graph looks better than that, doesnt it.


I would argue that the Bitshares search graph looks better than Maidsafe's.  Maidsafe had just one spike, and has been descending (in jagged down-up moves) ever since.  Bitshares had multiple peaks going higher, and even though it is lower now, its worst month since the peak is at 45, while Maidsafe's worst month is 27, and Bitcoin 19.

As for NXT, most searches for 'NXT' have nothing to do with NextCoin, as you can tell from the headlines on the search graph, and the fact that it goes back for years, much longer than NXT has ever existed.

Bitshares graph looks pretty similar to Ethereum's if you take out the early part.  (Apparently there was something called ethereum that got a lot of searches back in 2007.  I wonder what that was). 


There is nothing terrible about Bitshares search graph, though of COURSE we want to create another spike.

Lack of Interest in Bitshares means Bitshares isn't likely to grow. Google Trends don't lie.

Something must be done to reverse the trend. Bitshares should be gaining interest while Bitcoin is losing interest but instead it's losing interesting along with Bitcoin?


Look at the Maidsafe pattern.https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=Maidsafe Interest in Maidsafe spikes and falls which shows that the Maidsafe community is fighting the downward trend tooth and nail. It did not just drop off the cliff like Bitshares so perhaps Team Bitshares can learn from Maidsafe.

Also perhaps Team Bitshares can gain by mentioning Maidsafe in more in blogs.

Out of all the trends I've seen NXT is actually on the most dramatic rise. It's gaining more interest now than it ever has had. Why is that? https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=NXT

It's possible that it's just a popular search term associated with pro wrestling?

People were more interested in Bitshares back in March 2014 than they are in April 2015.

Peak #1 was in August 2014. During this peak Bitshares also peaked in price at $90 million. Peak #2 was in December 2014.  After that interests seems to have fallen off a cliff.

It appears that the merger doesn't account for this effect. What went wrong in January to account for the dramatic loss of interest?
