As the Bitcoin price has slipped below the 20,000 level, interest in Bitcoin (BTC) is rising and discussions over other crypto topics have faded. Historically, this has been considered a good sign for Bitcoin as well as the crypto market. 'Bitcoin' emerged as the most mentioned cryptocurrency in terms of social media conversations among Twitter Influencers and Redditors in 2021, according to GlobalData's SMA platform.
Mentions by technical experts, blockchain experts, CEOs, and fintech experts have been found to be more impactful to drive discussions around crypto.

The first-ever bitcoin transaction happened in 2010 via Bitcoin Talk when one user bought 2 pizzas for 10,000 bitcoins. Those bitcoins are worth 67 million dollars as I'm writing this article. At the recent peak of Bitcoin's value, they were worth around 200 million dollars.
