Bitcoin in times like this will be very effective. I suppose it will be popular payment method in the future (if banks will be closed).

lol it wont happen . banks will never get closed but it will only get modernized , as you can see banks supports mobile and online platfroms now but with the growing success of banks , many payment method are also being introduced and one of it is bitcoin/crypto . right now bitcoin is already popular too and will be more popular in the times like this when there is a problem on financial as it acts as an alternative to banks or fiats but no one predicted events like this could happen , so i believe that bitcoin isnt created for times like this .

Maybe the idea is on the view of making a transaction because we all know that there's a global threat spreading all around the world and making transactions physically is really dangerous. Maybe the idea is that it is better to make transactions using bitcoin because it is for the sake of your health to avoid being infected. The idea about the payment method in the future thinking that banks will be closed, I think that is impossible because we are really used to make a transaction using banks and we need that for making your crypto convert into fiat, it is really hard to think that we can only use crypto, yes it is possible but to think of it as of now is impossible since the adoption is not that really serious, what I mean is that there are countries that are accepting crypto but not that they are making technology to implement that they should use crypto, it is just an alternative payment as of now.
