I realise Coronavirus is not a reason why

[CarnagexD]

My country faced big problem with corona virus and make many people increase more every day and one hundred people got corona each day announce here, I hope this virus could stop soon and get back our activities and hope many people got corona virus back well soon and take their activity and looking for job.

There are a lot of people getting affected rapidly by the virus and this is not good because many people getting more panicked and can cause of being doomed about this outbreak still we are seeing other people getting well after they are getting affected and some of the people better to stay into your houses because we are avoiding the pandemic virus spread more it is better to be secured about your health. After this virus, there is a chance that the market price in the stock market will come back to normal and also the cryptocurrencies becomes profitable again that we can earn more income with the help of it but still it takes time before all the things become recover, keep safe guys.

It might really be an indirect effect to the market value of cryptos. Actually, it is still blurry for me. There are times wherein I do agree with the hearsays that it is corona virus which mainly affected the market condition at this moment. And by reading other people's opinion, there is really a possibility that the crash recently is due to panic with regards to the problem and not the virus itself. Since establishments are being forced to close at the moment, as well as works of different fields, people might panicked, resulting and making them sell their holdings jn a sudden to prioritize daily needs.

It is an indirect effect of the virus until it got severe in some major countries that builds up the crypto space like China, again I would like to use the word 'underestimate' since we did not thought of it before and getting prepare for the next year coz all we did is wishing that 2020 will going to be a great year for all of us. The decline is merely due to panic that most people have felt when things are getting out of hand especially in epicenter, China but now the new is Italy. Some of us don't believe that the virus impacted the decline, coz there is no data because of decentralized but again the virus has the most possible reason why we are experiencing these things right now.

[Youghoor]

That's a candid explanation about the crush of this market @OP but I still think in a way the fear that this virus spread around the world cause this crash. For instance, if governments had not announced lockdown in various countries people would not have sold their bitcoins out of panic.

The market price of the bitcoin drops because of the outbreak happens in the world and this is not quite good because many investors made an investment while the market price is too high that is almost 9k dollars and now it is immediately down into 3.9k dollars and that is lost so it is better to hold your coins until the issue of the virus are still on the top and also it is better to keep safe into your houses to prevent spreading the outbreak too also the market price of the bitcoin always declined by the trader but still we need to support this if we make some changes.

The lockdown is expected because it's the right strategy to minimize the spread of the virus, and more countries are in lock down right now, but look at the value of bitcoin, it does not dump anymore, so I'd like to believe that crypto is not correlated to stocks and it will grow regardless of the situation.

We are in global crisis right now but we have the crypto market which is a good option as a payment method, in fact some people are accepting bitcoin as a donation and in this time, it's easy to use bitcoin to send money in different border of the world.

[gabbie2010]

There are other factors that play whenyou are considering the plummet of bitcoin but I think that some factors are rooted with the pandemic, we can't blame the people who are selling their holdings at this time. Maybe they are in dire need for necessities which we all should understand.

In this period a lot of  people used their crypto in exchange to Fiat to buy and stockpile foods and other essential stuffs while on lockdown the sudden decline in the price of Bitcoin indicated a lot of sellers of crypto assets I agreed with you on while all the necessities that can cushion any effect of the lockdown on the daily lives of hodlers is a welcome development.

Bitcoin is Down

As you can remember when the virus spread at the beginning BTC price sharply reaching $9,439 on January 28, 2019, and the markets follow the BTC as always many crypto markets rose up, that means coronavirus favor CryptoMarkets first,

I believe that is January 28,2020 and not 2019?because in that date Bitcoin falls at $3000 level so better edit that part 😂

But what makes Bitcoin price go down
As the spread continue people start to panic with the disease not Btc, thinking of many Negatives and some people exchange their Crypto to friendly fiat money so they can cover some emergency staff buys extra food, drinks, masks, etc, the simple view is that many sell result to cheapest sell which automatic kill the prices of an Assets.

Because the people that formerly holds bitcoins starts selling their fund and convert to fiat for the reason of being scared of the effect of this pandemic ,and i know many of us here relates on this as majority of us make withdrawals when the dump starts happening.

Again, It is not just the corona virus that causes the value of Bitcoin to crash. If you're not aware there was a massive plus token scam and dump happened just after the worst spread of corona virus all over the world.
The pandemic is just another factor why the market is struggling right now.
As you can see Bitcoin is gradually recovering because cryptocurrency has no direct relation with the pandemic unlike the stocks.

at first yes it is not Corona who makes the Bitcoin price because the Virus has been in effect from December 2019 but its just this month makes this pandemic the whole world so the effect in crypto market is just later felt.
from March second week the Virus becomes Pandemic and the death toll comes very Huge and now is making people quarantined in their own houses and made also panicking from this infectious virus.

See ,
No one can fully tell what's the reason because at the end of the day , it is a decentralized Currency , you cannot point the reason out ever.

Even the US have just pushed the plan of digital dollar a little faster, so because of that many news companies are claiming that Bitcoins is going to die.

One problem with Bitcoins is their unpredictability and also at the same time you cannot be sure so as why this is happening , so don't worry much about the reason.

It's just that the whole world is suffering.

That's completely unrealistic if you compare a number of facts.
1. The amount that was stolen by the scammers.
2. The average daily volume on exchanges.
3. The time when plus token was found selling which was somewhere in May or June of 2019.

They wouldn't be able to cause a crash like that because the amount of coins they had was too small. Especially in 2020 when they were already out of coins or mostly out.

Not when the virus spread began, the price of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies has been going up even before then and they kept going up the day it started, and that’s the same thing with stock markets. But after the case got serious, that’s when it started affecting every market. Although there were other underlying causes that led to the decrease in the price of Bitcoin, the pandemic was part of it.

There are other things we heard as well and not just the Covid-19 outbreak, and I have been seeing some articles on Forbes and Cointelegraph that have stated different reasons, but whatever...

[thesmallgod]

There are many reasons people have identified as the major reason for the crash. While many of these reasons such as crypto scam, whales, etc. are general reasons which are known before. The COVID-19 pandemic is also part of the reason behind the fall. A lot of people panicked and sell off their crypto for foods and sanitary materials which also add to the reasons.

[Maestro75]

Now, Bitcoin is artificially cheap, and real hodlers are loading up before the upcoming massive price pump.

Am just as hopeful as you are that there will be a price boom soon and am banking on the Bitcoin halving for this activation. However, we really can not for certain know how things will go when it comes to cryptocurrency and bitcoin.

Your Title and body of the post are contradicting.

It is likely the OP did that to captivate readers to the thread. Not bad a strategy in the media

But to believe or not, the recent market dump is mostly because of the coronavirus where more people are in panic selling, converting it in fiat money in order to buy stuff and other necessities. Think this could be wise and smart moves? Maybe it will. We know how many people struggled and face market difficulties making them no choice but to sacrifice their holdings.

This thing never lasts forever and we know that there still room for crypto to grow. Yet, it can't be instant and it takes a while but something we don't need to lose our hopes and keep positive the same thing that this pandemic health issue will be over soon.

Because its not a threat at first to many people and it seems an ordinary virus that cant spread worldwide but the situation became different few months later.

People need cash to spend for primary needs so they sell their assets thats why the market crash (I believe this is the reason) because after the situation turn to worse the market declined. Nevertheless its good to see cryptos bounce back even most places are in lockdown, people might be looking for an opportunity to still earn while at home or they are using crypto for remittance.

I don't think regular people caused the crash (people who need fiat money to buy food and masks). But rather big investors and whales who simply used the virus panic to crash Bitcoin price and they bought back at the bottom at half price.

Hmm, the construction of your topic title are very vague as with the connection with your thoughts. As far as I know, the coronavirus is the primary crisis on what this situation are happening. Before the coronavirus spreads throughout the world the price of bitcoin are almost 10,000$, but when the virus starts, many people around the world are panic selling at a cheap price. That's why the price of the bitcoin are rapidly fell.

[tbterryboy]

I am not going to doubt what they have said, I’m just going to have faith that the pandemic is going to end even before that month of June  , it already feels like a year lol. And probably there is going to be change in the market once the pandemic has stopped or maybe the changes might even take place before then and the prices of stocks, oil, cryptocurrencies and other assets will start to recover.

I am most worried about the virus spreading in countries where there are no good healthcare, it might be worse in those cases, they better find a way to prevent such from happening.
