Corona Virus will Impact the price of Bitcoin ?

[darkangel11]

I really don't understand why people are concerned about the corona virus here, can anyone explain me how this could impact the price of Bitcoin???

I think it looks like people are spreading fuds in this page to make it cheaper, nothing else is connected with the topic here. I can see the virus lookalike a real horror but it is not associated with BTC.....

Coronavirus is not a big threat if you compare the number of people in China to the number of people who died from the virus. How many deaths there were? 10? Coronavirus is a joke at this point. Sure they can't treat it but they can treat the symptoms and keep the sichk alive while they fight the virus on their own. If you're to weak you may die, but most people survive. The mortality at this point is what 10%? It's higher for cancer.

now bloomberg is calling bitcoin "a safe haven" because it rallied into the coronavirus outbreak: Bitcoin Bolsters Its Claim as a Haven With Rally Topping Gold’s

all of a sudden, they're pointing to a 60-day positive correlation with gold to make the argument. anything to explain a rally! the news media is hilarious.

reading between the lines though, there's been a notable positive shift in mainstream media sentiment. these bullish headlines tell me that sentiment is really beginning to shift in the bulls' favor.

Looking at the correlation of Bitcoin and the Chinese stock indicies I am not seeing anything.

When the first outbreak occured, nothing happened.
When the second outbreak occured, Chinese stocks and Bitcoin both went down.

When the third outbreak occured, Chinese stocks went down and Bitcoin went up.

I just don't think this will have any medium or long term impact on Bitcoin. And I assume that most of the stock indicies pullbacks due to this news are already at the lows and the markets will rebound in a few days. Just too much fear going around all of a sudden.

Thank you for this small article, but it's not "all of a sudden" at all. Most traders follow the digital gold narrative since the beginning of the Iran-USA conflict and the pegging with the crude oil and gold price risng. It's just like that, and you can't be against it. Even the oldest bitcoin holders can't do anything against that, because the market is in the hands of traders, not the hodlers. I'm not saying it will eternally be the case, but for the moment bitcoin is seen as a safe haven asset by the market.

Corona Virus will never big impact of Bitcoin, because it will affect the Share Market of China, India, Hong Kong, Singapore and Sri Lanka. But crypto will growing gradually and all the investors are happily celebrate the current moment. I think right now BTC cross the 9k USD so further hype will occur at similarly on all the coins.

yes if some conditions applied it help to increase price of bitcoin . for example when u need to send aid to that affected countries and wanted to send speedy transactions then people buy bitcoin to send .. and more and more people when buyed at once when disaster happened to send money in seconds then it takes btc price up . if these conditions not applied then btc price should not decreased by virus like that ... when more buyers and holders then price will up and when less buyer and more sellers then price goes down ...

You can "sort of" connect them together but at the same time its a really thin stretch if you want to. Sure maybe china is going through something major right now, sure maybe they will have hard time containing it, maybe then it will spread to other nations, that might also affect those nations economies and be a global epidemic which would result with all finances including bitcoin to be affected. Yet do we really think that it will get out of hand that much?

I mean don't we know that corona in itself doesn't have that much contamination all around the world already? China, even tho a horrible nation, will take this under hand right away and will fix all of the problems, all those messages on whatsapp and facebook that tries to spread fear is just old people making stuff up.

The corona virus has been attacked in many countries. Many People have died and many more people have been attacked this virus. so do you think situation with corona virus will impact the price of Bitcoin.

The current out brake of Corona virus is some country may not really influence the market value of Bitcoin and crypto currency in general base on the fact we have not seen in the past where an out brake of virus has influence the market value of Bitcoin and crypto currency in general.

Nothing won't stop the  growing demand of cryptocurrency, and even if there's a fear of that virus, the investors will pursue their interest to purchase bitcoin as a potential increasing asset. I know thi virus will be contained significantly within a specific period of time. If we'll able to survive this current problems, crossing $9k or even $10k will be possible.

@NNRR the news of this virus spreading has spooked investors who believe that global economies shall take a hit, which in turn may lead to long periods of recession in many countries. It is due to this sudden fear many investors are rushing to purchase bitcoins and gold, and due to this sudden purchase bitcoin prices have shot up.

Every time I'm surprised over and over again when I seed threads like this.
Not everything that appears in this world, no matter from the field of economy, health, environment or whatever else, doesn't necessary influence Bitcoin price. Sometimes I think that people are trying to find all possible excuses or reasons to explain or justify price changes.

There is no correlation at all. A sudden rise in price is not always related to what media deemed to publicize. Always remember, correlation does not mean causation.

This is the kind of question we get when every time Bitcoin rises and falls significantly and seemingly out of nowhere it is directly associated with anything like the US-Iran tension, Hong Kong protest, and so on.

Bitcoin has the capacity to grow and its price increase with or without calamities, disasters, and violence.

I wonder if the possible zombie apocalypse would also affect the price of Bitcoin.

I think you're partly right. In the case of the Corona virus, I don't think it's very likely that it will influence the price of Bitcoin. But if two countries come into conflict, one way for the population to protect themselves financially is to buy assets that will give them some security, if the conflict extends over a very long period. Gold as well as Bitcoin are reserves of value that serve this purpose very well. In this case we are talking about a very large number of people who may come to buy Bitcoin and in that way it can increase its value.

Not probably, unless a countries economy collapse because of the virus then their could be an effect financially but indirectly to Bitcoins price.

As of the moment Bitcoin is a virus that continuously growing globally, and we love this virus 😁.

Haha I like that! Bitcoin as a virus. Anyway, I am not seeing that the virus crisis has significant impact in bitcoin's price. But in the past hours, bitcoin is gaining a lot. Really good to see that bitcoin is increasing. If this virus crisis has some influence, it is not that vital but maybe a lil bit of contribution. We all know that the bitcoin's price is the combination of too many factors and no one can really pinpoint the major factors in play.

Around 50 people have died so far,in country with a population over 1.3 billion.Can this be considered "many people"?

^ this guy gets it

oh and in the same ~10 days.. 7000+ people died in china due to road collisions.. so should people abandon roads and are road accidents going to affect the btc price.......... um no

56=corona
7000=car

no one is fearing the car

Some people looks like overthinking about this Corona virus could be the factor causing end of this world after seeing some dramatic videos highlighting how the situation really similar to a zombie movie where the extinction of mankind is near lol.

We've been through similar case where a virus called MERS hit the world 10 to 15 years ago , and the virus has not been seen yet again now. Stop overthinking and correlates everything with the price of bitcoin itself.

The Saudi energy minister made a statement about the crisis, which makes it show that he's taking the corona virus very seriously. "Muh oil prices".

That's indeed shows how coronavirus fears hit everyone in the financial market include that oil king ...

Shares... stocks market etc are now hot shaking.
It won't last long , it's just a temporary fear and everything would reflected to normal where it should belong.
These fundamentals rumours more to a bullshit that what trader needed in order to get some profits from the bad weeks .

Corona is car or virus, looking the history of car maybe any one remember with Corona car label but why today called with virus, just my joke but I think bitcoin could raise up because impact with Corona virus where many people look care with their healthy and left investment with bitcoin and altcoin for several days later.

That matters once the countries economy being hitted and heavily affected by this virus, but for now it isn't so there's no any effects that
we seen from the market. Though this virus are being reported from time to time and there are lots of affected countries, but inside crypto
market investors still actively participating.

But people are really fan on making things connect to each other and its no surprise that this one will really be considered out but if we do really think carefully on how this Corona Virus would impact BTC's price?

We do even see that the current price is soaring above 9k instead, rather seeing some slump if there would be possible connections to it but this one doesnt really have any correlation at all.
