    (Universidad EAFIT, 2022) Miranda Argel, Juan Fernando; Ballesteros Egurrola, Enrique Luis; Gaitan Riaño, Sandra Constanza
    Bitcoin is a decentralized currency supported by a blockchain system behind its issuance, so it transmits security regarding its value, since it cannot be simply duplicated or falsified. However, given that the volumes of transactions are high and quite variable, it is necessary to study their speculative nature, since studying the influence of some media factors allows us to observe how this type of less regulated asset can be the target of speculation and manipulation. through media such as Twitter and Google. In this study, we use the VAR model to analyze Bitcoin time series, its popularity, and some features. With the purpose of identifying if there is any correlation between fame in social networks and interest in Bitcoin within the Google search engine and the capitalization of this asset in the market. The results show that the influence of Google search interest and Twitter popularity does not have a large effect on Bitcoin's market capitalization.
