So I decided to take a look at Google Trends for Steemit to see if the recent Bloomberg article (via @dragosroua) had any impact or caught any attention.
While I didn't notice much in terms of a bump, something else DID catch my eye:
The country of Venezuela is #1 in interest by region.
For anyone paying attention to geopolitical news, this should be interesting since Venezuela is currently being ravaged by hyperinflation.
Also, China is #2, which should be obvious for similar reasons. Fighting censorship and surveillance is not a fun game.
