I have wondered if the COVID panic and subsequent awareness of BTC actually drove the BTC higher than it would have gone otherwise. Perhaps people had more time to look into Bitcoin. Perhaps realizing that we have been gas-lit for decades. Just wondering, that's all.

I can tell you I was a product of this. Bitcoin was somehow invisible to me prior to late 2020. Never heard of it. Bought my first BTC in Feb 2021 after Breedlove’s Saylor Series helped me get it right away. Hit me like a bolt of lightning. 10,000 hours down the rabbit hole later I’m forever changed.
I often think this too. There were also a lot of stimmy cheques going around then too.

This was my story. Co-workers talking about crypto and slow work schedule due to COVID silliness gave me time to start down the crypto rabbit hole. I quickly decided I was a bitcoin maximalist.
