As of today 06-24-2018, crypto is not trending. It was trending from last June to December. But right now it's not trending news.
It may not be trending as much as we had last year during the bull run which was normal since almost everyone wanted to get rich anyway, but as of now, it is not like it is still not trending at all.
If we really look around and despite this bear trend a lot of people are still talking about cryptocurrency, some who understand the possibility of the future are still looking for ways to invest and even though the excitement is not really there that much, it is still a space a lot of people are still looking forward to.
It's becoming popular because more and more people are becoming aware about it and changes the quality of life, however it's also trending due to negative feedback, misconceptions and false news. Cryptocurrency may be viewed as a scam for others, and an advantage for some. Despite all these, I believe that we have to keep our hope, patience, and determination that market will recover and more will become educated. As part of the community and as true believers, we can be the media and the voice to spread the good news and the real importance of cryptocurrency.
