Bitcoin Conversation Volume Beats Talk of Ebay Google, Facebook, Apple, Netflix, !

While eggs must always first give way to chickens, in the case of Twitter discussion volume and bitcoin price rising things aren’t exactly clear. Did the decentralized currency’s massive value increase drive Tweets? Or, did the Twitterverse push ever-upward the world’s most popular cryptocurrency, bitcoin?
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey made it known, “There are clear global benefits to cryptocurrencies,” he tweeted. “And great services and businesses will be built upon them. Just a matter of time.” His advantage in understanding bitcoin’s potential is due to having worked in the tech sector, struggling to explain the value of a seemingly abstract way to communicate. There are many similarities to decentralized cryptocurrencies in this regard.
Not known to tweet, having just joined the platform this year, Lloyd Blankfein of Goldman Sachs rocked markets by simply suggesting he was leaving open the idea of bitcoin (he later shut the door rather firmly).
Mr. Dorsey is also CEO of payments platform Square, who recently announced its trial of incorporating bitcoin into its platform.
