So definitely, crypto has been taking the limelight in this crisis, although you can argue that this could be a looming manipulation, but we can't deny that people are taking notice of crypto right now.
Agree with this whole statement.
There is actually a looming manipulation happened. I mean that a huge decline coming at once with the stock market, when cryptocurrency has no direct relation with the pandemic.
On a lighter note, cryptocurrency has become more noticeable because people has enough time to read at home due to the lock down effect, like what the OP said.
The 13% Bitcoin boost might be an evidence that people are starting to engage in cryptocurrency.
