Bitcoin Mentions on X Grow by 65% Reaching 140M in 2024

As a seasoned crypto investor with a decade of experience navigating the digital asset landscape, I must say that 2024 was undoubtedly a transformative year for Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency market. The surge in conversations about Bitcoin on platform X, with over 140 million mentions, was truly remarkable and indicative of the growing mainstream acceptance of this revolutionary technology.

2024 saw a significant boost in crypto-related chats centered around platform X, with Bitcoin leading the discussions all year long. The number of Bitcoin mentions jumped by approximately 65% compared to the previous year, reaching an impressive 140 million tweets, as per data gathered by social monitoring tool Visibrain.

In early 2024, there was a significant increase in discussions about Bitcoin, which escalated following the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s approval of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

The endorsement propelled Bitcoin conversations skyward. In fact, the collective worth controlled by Wall Street’s Bitcoin ETFs surpassed a staggering $110 billion, even outpacing the supposed holdings attributed to the enigmatic creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto.

Following the peak in discussions about Bitcoin in January, these conversations noticeably decreased. However, they resumed with renewed interest during pivotal occasions like the halving event, a mechanism that increases Bitcoin’s scarcity.

In November, the conversation grew louder with President-elect Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency pledges sparking hopes of making the U.S. a leading global hub for crypto. The buzz surrounding Bitcoin heightened once more in December when it surpassed $100,000 for the first time, igniting further discussions about the digital currency.

Approximately a million posts were shared on X when Bitcoin achieved this significant achievement. Yet, by the day following Christmas, Bitcoin’s value stabilized at around $95,000 as the holiday “Santa Rally” started to wind down.

2024 saw Bitcoin’s significant surge into prominence on X, fueling continuous discussions about the prospective direction of digital currencies and the expanding influence of cryptocurrencies within international financial markets.
