I think we should not let ourselves be affected by this article.
The fact that Bitcoin kept on staying at $10K last month amidst the coronavirus means it is not related to it at all. We are talking about Bitcoin increasing amidst the price meaning it is affecting the price positivity and then when the price fell we will be talking about the pandemic affecting the price negatively, I mean, it is just a coincidence. It fell 45% last week and a 3% fall is the main thing? No, Bitcoin is just volatile because of this fall. They can just say that it fell because of what's happening in Italy. Oh yeah, the price fell after I posted this, I think it is affected by it.
This volatile behaviors really affecting the market, negative news pays it impacts and we can't blames those who are afraid from losing money.
This decline is not because of the issue from italy but consider the major part of the world is really being infected and many people are trying
to survive from this pandemic virus.
And, no. I don't think the pandemic really affects the price of Bitcoin.
People are panicking, caged at their houses and just going out of their cages to buy essentials that could last until the pandemic stops or when the government says so. I can't even cash out some of Bitcoins right now since money remittances are jammed pack with people receiving money from their loved ones from other countries. Just read the PlusToken scammers that are putting their scammed Bitcoin into mixers, that is the real reason of that dump.
