Even before the pandemic, doing cashless transactions is highly encouraged.

So to rephrase your statement, towards "digital payments" and not "digital currency".

With or without pandemic, expect that the volume of digital payment will increase time by time. But unfortunately, it doesn't mean BTC will always be considered to be used, at least from what I observed here in our community. We have to accept that bitcoin is still far from being accepted nor consider being used worldwide especially at a time like this due to the fact that there are not many merchants accepting crypto-payments directly or simply people are having more convenience with fiat payments online on which transaction are just 1-tap.
