From the point of view of corona virus that will make the market collapse similar to the 1929 Great Depression to the founder of IOTA, will refund the losses to users with their own money. Here are some highlights from the Crypto market.
Corona virus caused the market to shake
As the coronavirus outbreak rocked the Dow Jones, investors began to worry that the stock market crash associated with the 2008 financial crisis might repeat.
But Kevin Smith, founder and CIO of hedge fund Crescat Capital, believes that Wall Street's uncontrolled speculation has made the US stock market more likely to face an even more frightening recession. : The Great Depression of 1929.
That bubble appeared on Black Monday, January 19, and after less than a month, the Dow Jones crashed nearly 50%. The index continued to “bleed”, falling lower in the following three years, before closing at 41.22 (89% lower than the increase of the market).
More frightening is that it took the stock market 22 years to fully recover.

For now, a 89% drop from an all-time high will bring the Dow down to 3,250, an all-time low since the early 1990s.
While the coronavirus panic may be the first justification, the root of the upcoming crisis is very complex and deeply rooted in financial markets.
He said that the impact of coronavirus on the global economy will continue for many years to come.
Smith commented on a tweet from Crescat's portfolio manager, Tavi Costa, which rang the alarm about the wave of emergency rate cuts of 50 basis points this week by the Federal Reserve and Bank of Canada.
Friendly reminder.
These are the last times the Fed & the BoC cut rates by at least 50bps in the same month:
3/2001
9/2001
10/2001
11/2001
03/2008
10/2008
12/2008This is fine … pic.twitter.com/BWFCCMShaf
