While the Bitcoin bubble comes people are looking for metrics and indicators.
One of them is checking Google Trends aka how often people searched for some term in Google.
Just keep two things in mind - in China or Russia, Google doesnt matter they own really a little of the market, so this metrics we can say are based only on EU/USA yet still can give some data.
I know you guys are lazy, i will do this for you and give a comment on results!
In the past 12 months only Ethereum had a little traffic others are so below BTC its not even worth mentioning.
If we remove Bitcoin from the sight, we can see only Litecoin and Ethereum are doing all right.
Monero who tries to push a lot of marketing doesnt have any real interest in the global network.
