And thirdly, you were considering to invest in Bitcoin – at least not until the middle of the second quarter.
But there is nothing that could be referred to as a V-shaped recovery in a market that is still affected by a resurgence of the Coronavirus cases. The beginning of this week released Chinese economic data seem like a nightmare.
They show that factory prices in the country have fallen to four year lows. The worst of the factories, whose profits fell in the first quarter, to 36.7 per cent were affected.
Liu Xuezhi, an Analyst at the Bank of Communications, commented: The Chinese investors would have to anticipate a V-shaped recovery of the Coronavirus-factor would slow down the recovery however.
Thus, the first two investment are ticked off priorities. Low consumption, slow production, and unemployment – all lead to an economic contraction.

As it says in the report:
“Tether was used in this year, in 99% of the Bitcoin spot transactions in China, making the Yuan has been almost completely superseded”
