[Santiment: Silver and Gold's Popularity on Social Media Surpasses Cryptocurrency] According to Cointelegraph, Santiment data shows that as precious metal prices rise, discussions about silver and gold on social media have surpassed those about cryptocurrencies for most of this month. Conversations about gold surged during the second week of January as gold prices hit record highs, dominating social discussions from January 8 to January 18. After a brief rebound in cryptocurrency discussions during the third week of January, silver has recently become the focus of social media again as silver prices reached historic highs. Santiment analysts pointed out that cryptocurrency traders often switch between different digital asset sectors (such as meme coins, AI tokens, and blue-chip coins) to chase trends. Currently, retail investors have shown a tendency to switch across asset classes, with their interest shifting to the latest rising assets such as gold, silver, and even stocks.
