The IMF is predicting the world is heading towards a massive financial crisis which will be even greater than the Great Depression that hit 90 years ago.
Bitcoin was born during the last financial crisis from back in 2008 and the crypto will reportedly face an unprecedented challenge to prove that it meets the main purpose for which it was created.

Not too long ago, IMF chief economist Gita Gopinath said that the magnitude and speed of the current collapse that’s been brought by the coronavirus pandemic is “unlike anything we’ve experienced in our lifetimes.”
Gopinath also said that there is too much uncertainty these days, and this will affect human life and the global economy.
“There is substantial uncertainty on the impact it will have on people’s lives and livelihoods. A lot will depend on the epidemiology of the virus, the effectiveness of containment measures, and the development of therapeutics and vaccines – variables which are very hard to predict.”
