BTC Bitcoin Wikipedia Pageviews: 4.9K
How many times people opened the English Wikipedia page for 'Bitcoin' each day — a clean, ad-free measure of ordinary public curiosity, drawn against the price.
The daily count of views of the English Wikipedia article about Bitcoin. Looking it up on Wikipedia is one of the first things many newcomers do, which makes this a simple gauge of newcomer attention.
Read it against the price. For example, a jump from 15,000 to 60,000 views a day means four times as many people are suddenly looking Bitcoin up — in past cycles those spikes clustered around big news and near cycle tops, when the general public arrived last.
A long flat low reading while the price rises means the wider crowd has not noticed yet.
The daily view count of the English Wikipedia article 'Bitcoin', across all devices and all visitor types, taken as Wikimedia publishes it, with bitcoin's price drawn alongside for comparison.
The count **only** begins in July 2015, when Wikimedia started publishing per-article numbers, and it arrives one to two days late. English only, so interest in other languages is invisible here.
