Twitter can be used to measure the popularity of a specific topic, trend or, in this case, cryptocurrency. It is also possible to see that the interest on Twitter follows the price of the digital currency and how it behaves. During periods of lower volatility, the interest for Bitcoin in the market seemed to drop.

At the same time, it seems that the official announcement of the Libra cryptocurrency could have positively affected Bitcoin and the whole crypto market. Analysts and investors discussed whether the virtual currency is going to be having a positive or negative effect on the crypto market.

In addition to it, there are several analysts that consider that the digital currency could keep growing in the future. This could also help attract more individuals to the space. If the price of the cryptocurrency continues growing, the Twitter enthusiasm would follow.

A few days ago, Bitcoin surged above $10,000 and then it surpassed $11,300. This has generated a generalized enthusiasm about digital currencies and the future of the space.

At the time of writing this article, Bitcoin is being traded around $11,356 and it has a market capitalization of $201 billion, according to CoinMarketCap.
