Google Trends shows that Americans are searching for “Bitcoin” consistently at around 1 AM Eastern Time for the past week, as this hourly data is only available seven days into the past.
It has been reported that out of 50 states, California is the most search-happy at this hour, possibly because 1 AM Eastern represents just 10 PM local time on the west coast, as plenty of reasonable browsing time left in the evening.
However, the peak search interest in Bitcoin over the past 30 days coincided with this week’s Twitter hack.

As Satoshi Nakamoto once noticed under similar circumstances, “it would have been nice to get this attention in any other context.”
