Investopedia, known as the Wikipedia of the financial world with 20 million visitors per month, chose Bitcoin as the term of the year.
Investopedia has published the Annual Best Financial Terms list, measured by annual search volume and percentage earnings. Unsurprisingly, “Bitcoin” topped the list, leaving behind terms like “artificial intelligence”, “Trumpcare”, “FAANG” and even “millenials.” This interest is predicted to be a start for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, which have become one of the most talked about concepts.
Unprecedented interest
Investopedia editorial writer Caleb Silver said on the subject:
We’ve seen a lot of investment frenzy before, but the interest around Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies and Blockchain has generated unprecedented interest in Investopedia and all the media.
Following the rise of Bitcoin Competing to list futures contracts, US Exchanges are scrambling to launch the first Bitcoin-based exchange-traded fund (Bitcoin ETF). Central banks have even begun to explore ways to use technology derived from cryptocurrencies to issue government-backed currencies on a Blockchain.
There are other terms from the cryptocurrency world on the list
Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies is not the only term on the list from the world. Blockchain, which is thought to change the world, took the second place on the list.
The ICO, which is known to help start-up companies earn more than $4 billion net in 2017, ranks fourth on the list.
