Before the Hong Kong protest is over I read all the banks are closed due to the mass protest by the people. Thus, all the protesters have no choice but to use cryptocurrency in form of money. When I read the news, I thought the Hong Kong protest would boost the bitcoin price in the market but sadly not maybe next time I guess.
Sad to hear that Hong Kong protest not over yet and China plans to impose national security laws in HK after months of anti government protest, as they said the violence happening there should not be tolerated and accepted by any nation in the world. It is creating an alarming for the people, because of this, the economy of Hong Kong is fluctuating.
Due to protest one of their source of income is tourism and it will affect their economy without it, Let's pray that soon they will find peace in and try to negotiate things for everyone's benefit. It will be hard for them to use crypto too if they already have no ways to earn (for non-crypto works) and since some didn't know they can earn thru crypto. Lucky those who already engages in bounties and trading since they have idea and option to work too.
