But classifying crypto as an investment is complicated, too.

Like all cryptocurrencies, the majors are digital assets that secure and verify transactions using computer science and complex mathematics, known as cryptography. Unlike traditional (‘fiat’) currencies, they are not currently issued or backed by a central authority such as a government. Instead, they run across a network of computers and are underpinned by blockchain technology – a permanent record of transactions that cannot be altered without the consensus of the network.
Other criticism of the founding team has come on the back of several promised developments of a Safemoon ‘ecosystem’ (including a bespoke wallet application) that have thus far fallen short of expectations.

Google Trends returns data with different granularity depending on the historical time interval queried: daily search volumes are returned for queries under 90 days and weekly search volumes for queries of length over 90 days. However it is possible to reconstruct daily data for long time intervals using a combination of daily and weekly data and the method described and validated by [4]: Daily data is retrieved in buckets of under 90 days, and weekly data is also retrieved for the complete time interval of interest. Then using the daily data, the percentage change of each day in a week from the first day of the week is calculated; these percentage changes are then applied to the weekly data to build a daily time series over a longer period.
