2020 has been a crucial year for cryptocurrencies as Covid crisis has changed investors outlook towards cryptos as an alternate asset.

The escalating pandemic and sliding dollar value has significantly contributed to the 150% growth of Bitcoin in 2020 compared to a mere 30% jump of gold which is considered to be one of the safest alternate assets.
