Usually, when people write that Bitcoin will be some kind of breakthrough that can help us in a pandemic, I immediately have a logical question, why not, plastic cards will help us in this? They can also easily pay for something without leaving home, what is better than Bitcoin in this situation?

Obviously, credit/debit card still the number one used as far as online and contactless payment. No where can bitcoin surpasses it at this crisis, we are still in the minority. But with a lot of uncertainties because of the pandemic, and with crypto slowly maturing, there could be a chance that bitcoin will slowly be adopted in this outbreak, it could be another alternative. Be it as store of value against physical gold as people are looking for other means. Of course, there is the scaling issue, as you can see there's a lot of threads lately complaining about how much expensive the fee is, but I believed this will normalise and we can again use bitcoin will less than $1 which could attract more people to use it online.
