According to the Buy Shares research report based on the ROI review, Bitcoin has remained resilient against all odds.
“In the first and second quarters of this year, the coronavirus pandemic wrecked the global economy leading to the crumbling of most stocks. Major stocks ROI has been in the red zone but Bitcoin appears not to have been impacted greatly. Largely, Bitcoin has remained resilient throughout this season despite occasional tumbling attributed to fear to spread from traditional markets.”
Currently, traditional markets are desperate for recovery mechanisms.
