Coronavirus has made us stay home for months now, Bitcoin's price rised while most stocks crashed. Bitcoin's price rise probably has something to do with Coronavirus, People are staying home, buying things online to avoid contact with other people. My question is are more people being initiated to Bitcoin and are Bitcoins scams more frequent because of covid-19?
I totally agree with you.Due to pandemic, bitcoin got the attentions of the people who are terrified to go outside and just want to use online transaction to buy their needs. Bitcoin is very easy to use and hassle free, that is why bitcoin is the most used digital crypto all over the world.Well, on the positive side COVID 19 help other people to appreciate Bitcoin because of our situation right now BITCOIN really helps us to survive this pandemic just by staying home and help not spread the virus. KEEP SAFE EVERYONE.
There are many payment methods for online transactions, bitcoin is only a small part of them. Even in some countries like China and Vietnam, payments in bitcoin or another cryptocurrency are prohibited. So I do not think that bitcoin is going up due to people participating in many online transactions. Perhaps during the epidemic many companies' stocks plunged so many investors turned to invest in bitcoin and that caused bitcoin to rise in price.
