In the past, google searches were said to be a leading indicator but as of now they have fallen off significantly:

What does this mean going forward?
I honestly think it doesn't mean much.
Bitcoin is going to start going up without the searches, because now everyone already knows about it.
Once you search for bitcoin once, there isn't much of a reason to need to continue to search for bitcoin, am I right?
