We are all still currently experiencing the effect of pandemic and most of us do still tend to stay at home to avoid getting infected by the virus.

My question is that does this pandemic intensifies the usage of Bitcoin knowing that physical or paper money might also be a carrier of the virus once pass on hand might caught droplets bringing the virus from a certain individual.

Using Bitcoin provides cashless experience that we know safer with this pandemic so, does this means that people will tend to use Bitcoin at this time or still into fiat?

people will continue to use fiat for the current pandemic but more to e-cash or electronic money, where we only make top-ups/deposits to an electronic money application in our country which only uses fiat pair of the country and we can shop or buy something only by using their application without leaving and without holding the physical money. Bitcoin is still rarely seen by laypeople, and there are very few shops here that open cryptocurrency payments. maybe because many laypeople do not know now but the existence of e-cash or electronic money can make the view that bitcoin can be a digital payment option like electronic money.
