People with nothing to do on their free time at home with internet have ventured many things to contain themselves and bitcoin and crypto were a hot topic. I believe many new people made their first wallet during this lockdown be it out of curiosity or investing or for trading as crypto market is the one that is never closed.
That's very feasible to happen. One way or another, there are individuals who inquire how to use crypto esp btc.
And with the lockdown, many people are stuck in their homes and so they have a lot of time to study about alternative payment methods and that includes btc or crypto.
Also, the hype surrounding before the btc halving, for sure, there were also people that got interested in looking up for btc.
The using of online payment will allow bitcoin to be used as the payment methods, but it is not easy to introduce bitcoin to people who already use the old ways. But there will be a chance for the adoption of bitcoin use will be increased, especially if many more merchant who allow people for using the bitcoin as the payment.
We still need to have approval from the government and encourage eCommerce to use bitcoin during the lockdown in many countries. Besides that, people need to learn about bitcoin before they used bitcoin, and it will require time for them to understand how bitcoin work as payment methods.
That's the challenge here. Many people who are new in crypto don't know where to start.
Lucky if they have friends or colleagues who are already into crypto, whom they can discuss with, but for those who don't, it would be hard for them to grasp how to deal with crypto.
It will take time for them to place their first btc order or btc payment.
But if a specific merchant will make it easy, like they have internal conversion from fiat to crypto, that would be very helpful for them.
