While miners took a double hit, the combination of the pandemic and halving could provide an unlikely tailwind to the crypto industry at large.



Normally, little is unexpected concerning the regular, pre-programmed adjustment of the Bitcoin network’s mining reward size, otherwise known as halving. Baked into the digital currency’s original protocol, the anti-inflationary mechanism gets triggered once every 210,000 blocks mined — or roughly every four years — providing all the interested parties with ample notice and time to buckle up.

We saw that only in the initial period of the official appearance of the coronavirus, the price of cryptocurrency, and above all bitcoin, immediately fell very much.

I see that the impact of the coronavirus epidemic on cryptocurrency has had an even more positive effect than a negative one. States began to pay more attention to digital forms of payment, and people became more interested in cryptocurrency during the period of inactivity during quarantine.

Generally speaking, the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has become a big boost to Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general. As more and more people are locked in their homes with nothing to do but to browse online they are exposed to Bitcoin and they got interested to also be a part of the coin revolution. The dip has never stopped people from getting on board and I am sure that by next year the same trend can continue. We can see this in the rise of the number of wallet address made in the past few months.
