About bitcoin
Bitcoin is the first decentralized cryptocurrency, invented in 2008 when an unknown author published a white paper under the name Satoshi Nakamoto, then mined the genesis block on 3 January 2009 after registering bitcoin.org on 18 August 2008 and posting the paper on 31 October.
Wikipedia dates software version 0.1.0 to 9 January 2009. The protocol caps supply at 21,000,000 coins. Circulating supply was 20,057,778 as of 12 June 2026, with a block reward of 3.125 BTC. Bitcoin Core 31.1.0 released on 7 July 2026. People still type the word because price, ETFs, and legal-tender fights keep moving. The first 11 U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs began trading in January 2024. The price printed $100,000 in December 2024. El Salvador made bitcoin legal tender in September 2021, then a January 2025 reform removed the duty to accept it. Wikipedia cites a March 2025 executive order for a U.S. strategic bitcoin reserve.
What the time series shows
The stored Google Search series for bitcoin runs 261 weeks from August 28 2021 at 47 to August 22 2026 at 33, a 1,820-day window of crash spikes and quieter 20s and 40s rather than a single climb that never resets.
Same-week prints read 28 on August 26 2023, 30 on August 24 2024, 60 on August 23 2025, then 33 this week. The series peaks at 100 on June 18 2022. February 7 2026 printed a local 98. August 2026 ran 29, 27, 27, then 33. growth_label is regular because +6.45% over 30 days sits under +100% and -5.71% over 90 days is not a 500% surge. speed_label is stationary because the 30-day percent change is under 10%. seasonality_label is medium. volatility_label is low; last-52 week-over-week sample standard deviation is 24.81% (n=52, skip 0). The four labels are derived from this series. Google Search data is the source behind every percentage on this page. Readers tracking ticker queries can start at the Moderna stock topic page.
