Been seeing a lot of post about the COVID-19 and how it affects different markets like stock, oil and cryptocurrency
but I wonder if these things are just now or it happens every time there is a pandemic disease like this.
I tried to search for some charts that might help to analyze if there are really a direct effect on the bitcoin with [url=https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price-index]https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price-index][/url]

I'm not going to include the 2009 H1N1 pandemic virus since the bitcoin was created on that same year. I'ma start in 2012,
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-COV)
DATED from Jan1 to June31 2012 (6months)
Discovery of MERS-COV was in April, Seems like there isn't much effect on the price not until in June when it starts to increase ( about 20%)
Ebola VirusAlthough it was first discovered in 1976, there is an outbreak happened last 2014.
DATED FROM Jan1 to June31 2014 (6months)
The price increased relatively.
Price dump in Feb but recovers in March where the first case of Ebola was recorded.
COVID-19 Discovered in late 2019 (Pandemic outbreak; Recent)
The price seems great in mid-feb and reached $10K but then it starts declining when things are getting worse with COVID-19.
The bitcoin seems unaffected by the first two pandemic at those time, while now the COVID-19 looks so impactful but why?
The relative increasing of price might be the root why such pandemic disease happen so rattling the crypto space.But then again we cannot assure these things.
I'll update this thread if necessary.
As I understand the word pandemic it means most every country has an epidemic.
So this is the first pandemic of note since the spanish flu in 1918-1919. Dont count the 2014 diseases.
Also if all that is wrong Btc had very little value in 2014 as compared to 2020.
More whales 🐋 own it now and they have complex investment platforms. When everything tanked only gold hung in there dropping less then 5%. So the whales 🐳 included shifting btc as part of defending their piles of wealth.
If I were a whale 🐋 I would set my wealth up by judging what I think will go down due to this world wide pandemic.
Airlines
Boeing
Movies 🎥
mid to higher priced restaurants
all above look to be losers in this new world 🌎
cryptocoins can be mined maybe good.
respirator builders very good.
ppe builders very good.
gold okay to good
platinum bad
palladium bad
oil bad
I am merely guessing above.
less cars 🚙 due to quarantine
less oil burned due quarantine
less need for platinum due to less cars 🚘
less need for palladium due to less cars 🚗
So if you are loaded with a bad hold you will push to sell off.
this disease is everywhere. so lots are going to be affected.
