How did the Covid-19 era affect Bitcoin?
Since the priority of people in the epidemic was to continue their lives in a healthy way, investment thoughts were delayed and uncertainty occurred. During this period, the need for cash emerged. For this reason, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have fallen.
Please be safe during this period.??
Bitcoin, which has come from the past to the present, will again be the crypto money of the future.
You can comment on your cryptocurrency predictions that may rival Bitcoin in the future.
The Future of Cryptocurrencies
A financial system that only goes over dollars from a single source will gradually lose its weight. Even with the blockage starting from business applications, crypto coins will be shaped according to trade. Central Banks will issue cryptocurrencies that can be regionalized according to their trade with the help of leading technology companies.
These are just my guesses, but the future of cryptocurrencies is very bright in the future. There are many unnecessary cryptocurrencies. Only a few of the cryptocurrencies can come to good places in the future.
