People got a stimulus and stuck at home. They got bored and decided to invest in the stock market. Stock market went up like crazy due to retail participants.
Months later everybody started to follow crypto and it was the same. Lots of new adoptions and such. Lots of stimulus went into crypto and such. If it wasn’t for covid who knows where we would be in the markets.
Quite right. It was the pandemic that spurred the crypto market to large-scale growth, and thanks to the pandemic, institutionalists began to expand their investment portfolios and add bitcoin there as a protective asset against macroeconomic risks. And due to the fact that, due to the pandemic, the Fed began to actively stimulate the economy and allocate billions of dollars to maintain it, those people who received subsidy money, they spent it on cryptocurrencies, increasing the price of bitcoin even faster.
Americans, for example, very often spent $1,200 in social security payments to buy bitcoin.
