Oh wow, I almost forgot about the pandemic but then yeah I remember that everything crashed on the same period as today on that year.
It was a total crash for the majority of the markets and many have thought that Bitcoin wouldn't survive but then, I was optimistic back then because it was also the year of halving.
And a year later, we've seen that the ATH of Bitcoin and bull run came to the market. After 4 years, here we are and we're enjoying again new ATH and soon we'll see a new ATL.

-cut- Hold your bitcoins, Bitcoin Spot ETFs will make you richer if you can hold your bitcoins.
The red color looks so beautiful, haha, just kidding this must be beautiful for bears not for bulls. Covid was a bad time, with too many difficulties, I am glad that we have passed that time, so many people lost there lives just because doctors killed them. I am still of the mindset that there was no COVID-19, it was all a manipulative disease I don't know who must be behind it. But Doctors were killing patients without any reason in my country. I don't have the proves, but I heard these words from trusted parties. Well, COVID-19 not only crashed the crypto but the whole market as well, only the pharmaceutical markets made money at that time. But one thing that did happen during COVID-19 is it made people to search for online jobs, and from then to now, many have left there corporate jobs and now are earning online. Covid if closed thousands of doors then it also opens hundreds more, as people always improvise and comes with surviving techniques, and in the digital world, money is what we all need.

After that whole markets globally crashed. Bitcoin crashed too.
4 years later, we have a new all time high for Bitcoin, above $72,000.
To be clear that drop had nothing to do with the pandemic nor did it have anything to do with other markets crashing. It was all about the economy crashing. To be more specific it was the recession that led to bitcoin price dropping too.
I was actually thinking the same too and wondered how a global economy or pandemic could have such and effect on Bitcoin as a digital currency that is decentralized. I assume the value dropped so poor as a controversial or the markets system when the volatility could be weakened at then and this time, it regains its high volatiles which has got it to this high volume of today's beating the historical performance. Hence the volatility of Bitcoin is based of its own economic system and not the world or global economy.

That's not even the interesting point. If we look back, Bitcoin was actually somehow insulated from the effects of the pandemic.
We don't have to look forward 4 years later to see Bitcoin recovering from the pandemic and making new records. After the announcement of the outbreak, the price went down, yeah, but not too low. It wasn't even continuous. There was an immediate reaction, from the shock. That's understandable as the entire global economy was affected by it. But things were already starting to look better after just a couple of days, not 4 years later.
The recovery started immediately. And within that year alone, the previous ATH was already broken. From that point onwards, new ATHs were registered until reaching its peak in November of 2021. The new ATH was more than x3 of the previous ATH. And it was recorded just around a year and a half from the announcement of the pandemic.

Hence the volatility of Bitcoin is based of its own economic system and not the world or global economy. When a pandemic occurs, many activities stop. be it from work, other activities that can make money. while the main needs continue, such as food, medicine and so on. it's fitting that global markets are that red. and for those who have assets in bitcoin, of course they will also sell some of their assets to survive the long-lasting pandemic downturn. Maybe if the pandemic only lasts a few months it won't have any effect at all on bitcoin price movements. and no one will sell bitcoins for daily living needs. because many people are selling, the price of bitcoin also falls.

Bitcoin is definitely a completely separate market with its own ecosystem that does NOT depend on any other market, which is the point I was making. But at the same time Bitcoin is still part of this world and part of the global economy so it is expected to see bitcoin price be affected by the global economy, but that effect still doesn't mean "following" other markets.

Not all people are rich, the whole markets crashed, many employees receives salary cut and some of them gets fired.
If they're in struggle and they need to use their investment to cover their monthly cost, how they can hold their Bitcoins? it's also why not many people are afford to buy Bitcoin at that time too.
So, if you didn't affected with the pandemic, you're lucky, unfortunately not everyone are lucky like you.

This is what I felt frustrating now seeing the Bitcoin price claimbing 72k and going more while those days of pandemic I almost withdraw all the bitcoin and altcoins just to survive for those more than 2 years of having no Job at all.
But this thread also remind us that we must never let go of our bitcoin whatever happens because seeing it growing each time now makes us understand the potential in the next 10 years again.
you can let go but not 100% and even then we are sure that we can buy it back in the same amount but at a different price, I think you are not the only one selling crypto assets during the pandemic, I do, because there is no other choice , than going into debt, it is better to sell existing assets,

The price dropped to approximately $5K at that time. Seeing that it's at $72K it's about a 1400% return in 4 years, not bad. For comparison, we can note that the S&P 500 had a return of 125% in the same period, which is not bad but far from the Bitcoin return.
This end of cycle can make us optimistic after the disappointing mid-cycle returns.
$3k if I'm not mistaken, and then we have the halving during the pandemic and it didn't deter the market to hit all time high at $69k. And 4 years later, assuming that we didn't hold and sold everything. But then again during the bear market in 2022, and keep on buying, lowest low of $15,500 to now $73k so that is still a huge gains, almost 400% if my calculations are correct. So how time flies, and we haven't cross halving yet and so there are still more profits to be made just like the last time. And everyone is looking for 6 digits as our new all time high.

Bad memorized with the first time World Healthy Organization (WHO) announced to public about the pandemic and become the moment with market get big crashed. I hold some coins when the first time WHO announcing with pandemic and until four years later some my coins can't recovery well back to the higher price although bitcoin success break out to the new higher price. Last four years ago when WHO announcing the the pandemic and lock down some countries access not only bitcoin get crashed but many aspect of economic set get down, most of worker have retired from their job and most of them get difficult financial condition when the first time lockdown adopted. Must learned more for the future if have another pandemic we need save some fiat and buy back bitcoin on the lower price, I think earn much profitable for the holder buy back bitcoin since the pandemic first time announcing by WHO.

Although these pessimistic times in the crypto cycle last for a long time, people are finding more investment confidence in the high value of Bitcoin. At that time despite the impact of the pandemic no one could stop bitcoin showed its high position. Those who invested at that time have also reaped huge profits. The Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted people's health and safety and the economy has slowed due to mandatory holidays. Those associated with low-income and or labor-intensive employment are the worst affected.

It feels great to have this discussion at this period of time again, 2020 pandemic felt like a calling to have the experience of how the world would feel like if the end is coming, I've never felt that way since I was born, and thank God that I am still alive today. Many people in the crypto space were expecting something similar to COVID to knock out Bitcoin again and I knew its not going to happen, people like sleeping on the past history, they fail to understand that drastic changes will also likely occur in the future, in this crypto space you don't want to stay at a side for long, it's better to always be ready for any possibility. 2020 was a very tough year, many Bitcoin holders lose hope and sold because they thought that the Covid will wipe out the world, some even felt like the world was coming to an end because some people they knew lost their lives to the virus, there was fear and massive jobless amount of people, since there was a lockdown, knowing that we are in the same period that the virus break out in 2020 brings back a lot of bad memories.
