【12.11国外百咖说：顺便学英语】以太坊GOOGLE搜索量创历史新低

Ethereum saw a major reduction in Google searches in the last few months, attracting less attention than ever before.

以太坊在过去的几个月中Google搜索量大幅度减少，吸引了前所未有的关注。

ETHEREUM LESS POPULAR NOW THAN WHEN IT WAS $20

以太坊现在不如20美元时受欢迎

Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, is going through an interesting period as of late. A Trustnodesreportindicates that the project has seen the lowest number of Google searches in years. In fact, it was more popular even as far back as in 2016, when its price was only $20.

以市值计算的第二大加密货币以太坊（ETH）最近正在经历一个有趣的时期。Trustnodes的报告表明，该项目的Google搜索量是多年来最低的。事实上，甚至早在2016年它的价格仅为20美元时，它就更受欢迎。

Results from Google Trends show that the coin is seeing some stability with 4 out of 100 searches. There was a brief drop below this level back in October 2019, when ETH searches dropped to only 3/100. In comparison, the project was seeing a minimum of 8/100 searches throughout June 2016, while the number of searches in May 2016 was 5, and in April 2016, it was at the current minimum of 4.

Google趋势的结果表明，硬币在100个搜索中有4个保持稳定。在2019年10月，ETH搜索下降到仅3/100，跌破了这个水平。相比之下，该项目在2016年6月的整个搜索量中最少为8/100，而2016年5月的搜索量为5，而2016年4月的当前搜索量为4。

Granted, those search figures are exclusively US-based, but the worldwide figures aren’t much better either. Their recent report indicates that the interest in Ethereum sits at 6 out of 100, which is lower than it was a few months ago, when there were around 7 to 8 out of 100 searches in June 2019.

当然，这些搜索数据完全基于美国，但是全球范围的搜索结果也不是很多。他们最近的报告表明，对以太坊的兴趣占100的6位，低于几个月前的水平，2019年6月，在100个搜索中约有7到8个。

This leads to some interesting conclusions, such as the fact that the US was only interested in Ethereum for a few months in 2016. As for why the interest in the second-largest crypto project in the world is dropping so drastically, there could be several reasons. One of them might be the lack of awareness, where the searches are only performed by those researching the project or following news updates about it.

这得出了一些有趣的结论，例如，美国在2016年只对以太坊感兴趣了几个月。至于为什么对世界第二大加密货币项目的兴趣如此急剧下降，为什么可能会有几个原因。其中之一可能是意识不足，其中搜索仅由研究项目或跟踪新闻更新的人员执行。

Ethereum has also been facing a number of issues due to recentIstanbul hard fork. Some reports claim that small changes in SSTORE caused thousands of dApps to fail. In fact, failure rates have more than quadrupled, which is certainly not good news for the project.

由于最近的伊斯坦布尔硬分叉，以太坊也面临着许多问题。一些报告声称，SSTORE中的微小更改导致数千个dApp失败。实际上，故障率已经翻了四倍，这对于该项目当然不是一个好消息。

IS BITCOIN FARING ANY BETTER?

比特币的表现更好吗？

When it comes to Bitcoin, the coin is enjoying a form of linear progression. Currently, BTC has around 10 out of 100 searches. Meanwhile, in 2016, it only had 2 or 3 out of every 100 searches.

说到比特币，代币正在享受一种线性发展的形式。目前，BTC在100个搜索中大约有10个。同时，在2016年，其每100条搜索中只有2或3。

Trustnodes concludes that the reason for this is likely Bitcoin’s adoption, which has increased significantly alongside the coin’s price. The interest in BTC is especially growing in some African countries, particularly in South Africa and Nigeria. Meanwhile, China does not seem to care about BTC at all. On the other hand, it is one of the countries where the interest in ETH is at the peak.

Trustnodes得出结论，其原因很可能是比特币的采用，随着比特币价格的上涨，比特币的使用已大大增加。在某些非洲国家，尤其是在南非和尼日利亚，对BTC的兴趣尤其增长。同时，中国似乎根本不关心比特币。另一方面，它是对ETH的兴趣达到顶峰的国家之一。

However, the reason might be that texts concerning BTC were translated, and China’s population is simply reading about it on its own crypto media. On the other hand, if Ethereum is not translated, the country’s crypto users have tosearch for it via Google.

但是，原因可能是有关BTC的文本已翻译，而中国人民只是在自己的加密媒体上阅读有关BTC的文章。另一方面，如果未翻译以太坊，则该国的加密用户必须通过Google进行搜索。

In conclusion, it appears that interest in crypto is waning in the West, particularly as the year draws to a close. Perhaps the multiple Ethereum update postponements throughout 2019 has drained investors confidence in the project, or the fact that the price has failed to print any promising gains.

总而言之，西方国家对加密货币的兴趣似乎正在减弱，尤其是当年临近尾声时。也许整个2019年多次以太坊更新延期使投资者对该项目失去了信心，或者价格未能体现出任何可观的收益这一事实。

For the rest of the world, it seems that Bitcoin remains the sole focus as the asset edges ever closer to next year’s halving and potentially new highs.

在世界其他地方，由于资产边缘越来越接近明年的减半和可能的新高，似乎比特币仍然是唯一的重点。
