Recent crises are testing the abilities of Bitcoin. The adoption of
Bitcoin is increased as people are stuck at home they are looking for better solutions to transfer remittance and for purchasing.
Many countries are using blockchain technology to fight against the pandemic.
Why the price of Bitcoin is still down?The answer, wrong timing.
Apparently, most people still don't think that Bitcoin is a store of value. Why would they? When clearly, Bitcoin and the rest of the cryptocurrencies are very volatile and as we have known, its market value can easily be manipulated.
Also, Bitcoin itself isn't widely adopted yet. Holding it now, in times this Covid-19 pandemic isn't gonna do you any good. Heck, you can't even buy a roll of tissue paper with it. Get my point?
If the current Covid-19 pandemic happened at a time when Bitcoin is already widely adopted, maybe, just maybe, people would have opted on using it as a mode of payment or store of value. Then we can see an increase in its demand thus, a higher value.
'Cause as of now, I'm sure nobody would want to convert their hard-earnt cash to cryptos when they know, anytime, its value could drop 50% or they wouldn't be able to buy anything with it.
