Bit of a dumb question, but what made Bitcoin so popular so suddenly?

Hey! I'm writing a math paper on bitcoin, where I was thinking about comparing bitcoin prices to search popularity on Google (for an obvious correlation. I'm bad at math and in high school please don't judge my shitty paper).

I noticed that interest just fucking spiked in the spring of 2017, and I'm honestly confused as to how. I remember being in middle school, begging my parents to buy some and them thinking it was a Nigerian prince scam, but what happened that spring to suddenly change that reputation?

Also sorry if this is the wrong subreddit, I wasn't sure where else to post and I don't frequent reddit that much.

No, Bitcoin is not controlled by a small group of investors and miners (A rebuttal to the TechSpot article)

Day 9: I will post this guide regularly until available solutions like SegWit, order batching, and Lightning payment channels are mass adopted, the mempool is empty once again, and tx fees are low. Have you done your part?
