The Corona Virus Narrative (And Its Influence On BTC)

2020년 3월 21일

The Corona virus tightens its grip on all of us as daily news comes out that causes many nations to panic. After the NY Times shared an article with the timeline of the progress of the Corona virus so far, I felt inspired to plot it against the price of Bitcoin. You can find a timeline here, based on the article where you can see for yourself how Corona impacted the price of BTC and how the subsequent panic caused many people to sell their assets. People didn't just sell their stocks, bot they even emptied their crypto wallets.
