Nigeria and Cuba topped the October ranking of the countries whose residents were most interested in Bitcoin on the Internet. That is evidenced by the latest data from the Google Trends service.
The greatest surge in the activity of Internet users was observed in the second half of October when BTC tried several times to gain a foothold above $ 14,000. However, the cryptocurrency failed to do this, and it met November at the level of $ 13,600.
In the top five, in addition to Nigeria and Cuba, were South Africa, Cameroon, and Ghana.
