JUST IN: Google searches for "How To Buy Bitcoin" are now at a 5 year high! 🚀

Yeah, that's the buzz right now! Google searches for "How to Buy Bitcoin" have indeed spiked to a 5-year high, according to recent Google Trends data shared widely (including by Bitcoin Magazine on X and across crypto news outlets).

This is happening even though Bitcoin is trading in the $66,000–$69,000 range right now (down significantly from its all-time high of around $126,000 back in October 2025). We're talking roughly a 50% drawdown from that peak, so many are calling the current market phase a bear market.

The interesting (and bullish-to-some) part: Retail interest is surging during this dip, not at the top like we often see. Historically, big spikes in beginner searches like this can signal fresh capital coming in, though sentiment is mixed—searches for things like "Bitcoin going to zero" have also hit highs recently, showing fear alongside the curiosity.

Classic crypto vibes: fear + greed colliding. If this retail wave turns into actual buying, it could help fuel a reversal. 🚀🐂
