If covid never happened we would have never seen that 3k+ for Bitcoin at the time, only handful of smart investors took advantage of the low price and pressed the buy button.
The point is, we will never know for sure what would have happened with Bitcoin without COVID pandemic. Maybe you are right, or maybe a different event would have caused a similar price dip, creating another buying opportunity for those "smart investors."
But the OP's claim that Bitcoin whales started the pandemic on purpose is not only ridiculous but also extremely stupid, defying any logical explanation.
Of course, lizard people with their natural immunity to a pesky little bat virus, manipulating global economies for their own reptilian gain, is a much more believable theory.
