Do you think that the recent situation will encourage people to use (or rely) on crypto more thoroughly? What are your thoughts?

I dont think so, because if they will consider using crypto during this time the market would not be in red status. Its just an option when it comes to online payment and fluctuations are not suited for people who want to use it for transaction and not for investment. Nevertheless thinking that the current situation can give other people an idea about crypto is good either way because it can spread awareness about its existence and might convince others to use it.
