Donald Trump comes in the second most searched topic on Google. The American president has been one of the most polarizing political figures in recent history and has managed to be in the new, though not necessarily for the right reasons. In the last 12 months, Bitcoin has maintained a lead over Trump, while the latter managed to take the Numero Uno 11 times.
However, as the bulls came back roaring in 2019, Bitcoin managed to be on the top since the beginning of this year. Despite the Sino-US trade war intensifying after Trump’s controversial decisions, he couldn’t surpass Bitcoin. Understandably, Trump’s is more popular than Bitcoin in the US and neighboring countries, while the latter holds its ground in Europe, Asia, and South America.
- Bitcoin vs. Elon Musk:

While Bitcoin is a leading cryptocurrency, Kim Kardashian is a pop culture celebrity.
Bitcoin has been ahead of Kardashian throughout the year, despite having similar patterns. The survey report suggests that people search for Bitcoins and Kim Kardashian more when they look for a break from reality.
