It is precisely because of the epidemic that the price of Bitcoin has risen. Due to business closures, many people are not working or working from home. Many people learn about cryptocurrency through friends or the news media. In my impression, there were a lot more altcoins during the popular period. I don't know if it is caused by the epidemic, many of them are scams. And some newcomers who have just entered the cryptocurrency have no experience and will lose some funds, causing some people to be afraid of cryptocurrency.
However, many people are still learning about cryptocurrency. When the epidemic has no source of income, they rely on cryptocurrency to make money. I will take my friends into cryptocurrency, which will increase the demand for the cryptocurrency market. This is also a good thing for the cryptocurrency market.
