While many do not seem to see an effect I think it had it, when the corona virus made the news the stock market went down, gold went up and bitcoin went up as well, this means there is uncertainty about the extent this disease is going to impact our world and people decided to invest some more money in assets that can hold their value and this included bitcoin, obviously bitcoin was already in the middle of a positive trend but I think it had the effect of prolonging and making that trend even stronger.
