I agree with you, bitcoin raised up 50% only in few months during COVID pandemic and it proves it people found out they don't need cash to pay everything and they can use cryptocurrencies, thanks to PayPal now more people would find out and use bitcoin and it seems like USA election has helped it too, The only thing that bothers me in cryptocurrencies is too many scams and no consequences for the scammers, in that way it would be hard to bring trust to this when we hear every day thousands of dollars have been rubbed through scams.
It is due to a general lack of knowledge about how to invest in crypto. Indeed, now many traders or new peeps are coming to crypto because they want quick profits. But again, because there have been several cases that have occurred, I'm sure there will be some people out there who will create a new platform that is safe and easy to use even for new traders.
