Google trends have been considered as good indicators of retail investor’s behavior. Notably, the data from the platform has recently revealed that the number of queries for the term “NFT” has surpassed its previous all-time high. Notably, the previous high was achieved by the sector in March 2021, which later duplicated in late August and early September. Later, the searches saw a brief decline, but since last month an uptrend is being observed.

Following the data, PAolo Ardoino, CTO at Bitfinex, cited that the spike in interest for NFTs, as evidenced by google keyword data, once again shows how blockchain-based technology is resonating with the masses in a way that was unthinkable just a few years ago. 

Understand before investing

Ardoino also observed the case, and noted that Bitcoin and other leading altcoins are also facing such similar hype. Following the scenario, Ardoino urged the investors to familiarise themselves first with the technology rather than seeking to make speculative gains. He further explained that while saying so, he meant that the technology has become a worn clique so it is the sensible and enlightened path to take. Unlike buzz words such as ‘the metaverse’ that get bandied around by those in dying paradigms of technology, blockchain is at the fulcrum of the technological innovation that will shape this decade. Ultimately, we can become a participant in this by simply taking the time to familiarise ourselves with how this amazing technology works.
