Title: GLOBAL PANDEMIC - BLESSING IN DISGUISE
Post by: Huntler1993 on April 12, 2020, 09:35:40 PM
The truth of the matter is this global pandemic is really changing lives and changing nations. Things that we gave little attention to like regular washing of hand, the use of sanitizers and social distancing is now a must. Some of our leaders are now building huge facilities to curb down the situation. The most important thing is when everything calms down the  world is going to view the digital currency in a different spectacle which cryptocurency is going to be a great beneficiary. Lets calm down and stay safe since we are not in normal times. There is always light at the end of the tunnel. The cashless world will be coming soon  :)

We see the different angles of this situation. As we see bitcoin and crypto currencies being the answer to the pandemic, with the social distancing and lockdowns, it will be the way for us people to be safe but other people have another angle, that is tighter security, more safety precautions, and government assistance. People did not even think about using digital currencies, what they are thinking is to buy essentials to keep them safe from the pandemic. I am not saying that there is no possibility about that, there is but I think that is low.

It is indeed true; People are now very cautious about their health and their safety in terms of controlling and using things where virus can stem out. It may be true that people are sensitive now to fiat currency but we shouldn't rejoice due to the fact that without the virus, people won't rely too on digital currency. O believe there is a much more powerful tool that can be utilized to provide people with knowledge about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency. Still, I don't consider the pandemic as a blessing but instead, it is a wake up call for all of us.

I doubt people are going to try out cryptocurrencies just because they're going digital. The UI and UX of digital cash transfers we have right now(PayPal/Venmo/CashApp) are too good for them to move from that, to a clunky volatile asset.

Even though there is a light at the end of the tunnel, I don't see it as a blessing, not even in disguise! We always have to look at the cost of achieving this and with millions of people fighting for their life - is not the cost we are willing to pay to achieve cashless world! It's definite that the world will not be the same after this pandemic and so many things will change for better! But seriously - can't take it as a blessing because it will cost million lives!

Good thing is that you can still found some positive effects of this pandemic virus but no matter happens, the negative effects of the virus cannot still overcome by the positive effects of it, there are so many died people because of this virus, there are so many businesses that falls because of the virus and even the economy of different countries under pandemic virus also falls. I think if this virus has gone, our economy will be hard to recover because of so many things happened.

The negative impact of the virus is still prominents compared to positive impact of this because even though without virus we can still do such things anytime.

that is becoming a common misunderstanding from what i have been seeing. some are starting to think people move to cryoptocurrencies just because they are digital. the fact is that there has only been two reasons why anybody has been attracted to bitcoin and then to other cryptocurrencies. it is either for profit making when they see bitcoin price rise for instance. or it has been for the financial sovereignty that a decentralized currency like bitcoin offers. that is also why a lot of people in the later group never touch altcoins due to their centralization.

This is the 1276 forum thread about "hey,the global pandemic will force people to use digital money,so they will adopt cryptocurrency" type of BS.This theory is so simple minded and one-sided and don't even want to discuss it again.The cashless world isn't coming in the majority of the countries.In the western world,there is something like a cashless society,because almost everyone uses debit/credit cards and checks.
A cashless world doesn't necessarily mean 100% of the people using cryptocurrencies ONLY.

The disadvantage of this pandemic outweighs the advantage in my opinion, I don't really see any blessing here except a lesson for humanity which ordinarily we should have been able to recognize without waiting for a pandemic that will take lives to open our eyes to it, so many lives have been lost this past few months, the economy of the world is at a risk, many people losing their jobs, high rate of divorce (yeah, so crazy but true) and so many other issues,
So I don't see the blessing here, I only see a lesson, hopefully the world has learnt something.
And as for viewing digital currency,  I don't think this will really bring that impact for countries to start recognizing digital currency, I think they will just pick up the pieces of what's left.

Blessing at some angles but mostly it isn't, OP.
There are thousands of deaths happening globally and no matter how we look at it, it is bad. There are people dying right now. It is kinda selfish of thought to think that it is a blessing for something like crypto since we're hodling it anyway and we're not one of those people at the other side.

Frankly speaking we are not yet ready for a cashless society but maybe 10 years from now, the world will be ready for it as we are keep on growing especially in our technology. I can't fully agree that global pandemic is a blessing in disguise as you can see that many lives have been lost because of it and many countries are imposing lockdown where their economy will surely to be affected.

Though I only focus on negative effects while you are focusing in positive effects, yes there are good blessing that it bring but if I were to decide it's better that this pandemic will end soon so we can go back to our normal life. Crypto still needs a lot of improvement before it can be ready to use in the future.

A pandemic is never a blessing in many aspects as it cost lives to people who are innocent. This is a tragedy that no one is expecting, the virus spread immediately and uncontrollable and it affected many countries. Also the market stock are down and is hard to manipulate and manage. The misery that this pandemic brought to us is never easy to fix as still there is no invented vaccine yet, so we have no idea when this suffering will end. Maybe this is also the reason why bitcoin crashes last month, due to a falling economy of some countries. Let's accept the fact that this Covid-19 virus is NOT a blessing in disguise, you are right that this is a wake up call for us so that we are mindful with what is happening in the reality. Always stay safe and don't go outside without an agenda.

I'm not really sure about that, we still have the banking system standing after this global pandemic. And I think people will getting loans from banks after everything has settled down in order to start all over again. Of course, cryptocurrency is here to stay, but I don't think that most people will view like it will be the saviour, sort to speak. They will seek government help first through banks before anything else. So I don't consider it a blessing, but probably just another wake up call.

We will see. For now, right in the middle of this pandemic, there is still no sign that cryptocurrency is getting unusually stronger. That, despite of the fact that the brrrr sounds inside the central banks are getting louder and are heard more often than normal.

Hmm. Idk but most would probably learn what cryptos are, but their usage is not that well met. First and foremost, digital fiat currency is mostly what is being used to pay bills and the like right now and using crypto to pay them hasn't really been implemented, at least in our country(idk much about others). it isn't to say that it's better, but let's be honest. The usage of crypto isn't going to happen that quick. It may take even a few more decades or even up to a century for it to happen. Imo, it wouldn't even be domination of crypto but more like a mixture of both. Ofc, Physical cash/fiat may cease to exist, but it would most probably be replaced by digital cash/fiat. Kind of like a unique serial number for each which is registered to a database or something.

Sorry the premature deaths of hundreds of thousands, is not a good thing, no matter how you spin it.
I could not agree more with this, no matter how things you have reflected positive due to corona virus the deaths of thousands of people is never consider a blessing. We have different perspective on how we depict every situation but I think you have gone through this that much. We can easily say this maybe because none of your family has ever got sick with the pandemic but I'm sure you'll never say this if it happens to be. It's not a blessing but rather than a reminder for us that we are lacking of many aspect in one ideal society.

Somehow this is true we get a lot of benefits from the coronavirus even though it kills a lot of people around the world, one of the things is the air is clean again since cars that are being used in transportation are reduced.

We also believed that the dump in the past weeks is caused by the coronavirus it is also beneficial to some of the investors that is planning to invest in bitcoin and also to everybody in the cryptocurrency community.

That's the benefit on what the world gets and base on the news the fogs and pollution gone and those places has been covered by heavy clouds are now seeable and many appreciate the beauty of nature.

The one who got benefiter for the dump happening these days are the whales who want to buy cheap and waiting for this to come and after the covid-19 for sure many whales will earn more for buying on the cheap cost.

UTTERLY STUPID and FALSE...

BitCoins price CRASHED in response to the Economic Crisis...  Yet you think a crisis will be good for bitcoin.   The cashless world will NOT, NOT, NOT be bitcoin, it will be Federal Reserve Coin, Peoples Bank of China Coin, Euro Coin, etc. etc.

Nope, this is the 2009 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_swine_flu_pandemic) one..
Every time there is a pandemic, a crisis, a war there are some people who think it's going to be a global reset
There won't be one

The same people that are now washing everything like some bad raccoons in two months will enter their homes, grab a beer from the fridge jump on tier sofa and only go to the bathroom when they need to pee, and probably will not now wash they hands even then....

which cryptocurency is going to be a great beneficiary.

I wonder how people can watch themselves in the mirror after shilling in the forums so that 120 000 dead people will help their shitcoin stash jump 30 cents in value!Who is worse here, the virus or people who are using the tragedy to push their own agenda. I know the virus has no shame, but do you?

Somehow this is true we get a lot of benefits from the coronavirus even though it kills a lot of people around the world, one of the things is the air is clean again since cars that are being used in transportation are reduced.

Oh but you can contribute to this type of air cleaning yourself...Want to know how?

Yah, that's the sad thing about the outbreak. It's never going to be any blessing in disguise for those who have lost beloved ones. But on the flip side, I understand where the OP is going with that. A lot of new stuff are going to come to play as innovations and discoveries once this pandemic is over. And cryptocurrency will definitely have a boost in all of it.

It's amazing how people who are affected are not seeing it as a blessing but a condemnation towards everyone who has touched this global pandemic. It's good to see it as a positive thing but nothing is really positive with what's happening. You can never say just look at the bright side at a person who has a special person who died within this period.

Just make peace and make sure to follow the social distancing rules, etc.

Every situation has who they favour, and there are those that are not favoured at all. But, I don’t really like what’s happening in the world today, it’s a bad news. Just look how this outbreak is spreading all over the world and thousands of people are dying, so I wouldn’t really call it a good thing. If it was a situation where people never had to die, then I’d say it’s nothing much.

There is no day that I don’t pray for this situation to end; I’m always praying and hoping that this comes to an end very soon, and yes I know that it will come to and end, but the question is when it will end.

The only thing I see as so called 'good' coming out of all this over the past month of it being taking seriously to create martial law in some countries, you see duerte and what he is doing to those without food ::), is how fragile each countries system is at mobilizing in a pandemic.
Every country from what I have witnessed has failed as a society to have a contingency plan put in place so to not have their own local stock market from crashing down around them. Sad really to see how the world really operates. :-[

This pandemic indeed provides many changes. In lifestyle, we are taught to care more about cleanliness and adopt a healthy lifestyle. For the earth, because outdoor activities are restricted, pollution is significantly reduced, we all "take a break" from our tired routine of life and learn to appreciate life more. Including economic activities, especially buying and selling, which TS mentioned. If the buying and selling activities will further reduce direct payments or cash, which becomes the first choice, of course, using e-money or digital cash transactions such as PayPal services, etc.

This is a disaster for all of us, many people have died, lost their jobs, and have difficulty making a living. Hopefully, this ends soon and we can immediately start a new, better life. Stay safe, stay healthy.

Aside from vaccine, medicine to cure for the severely infected patients. Up until now, doctors around the world are still in experimental stage to their respective patients. Because each patient has different response to the medicine, they have to find alternative drugs that will somehow treat the disease. Just few articles mentioning potential med treatment for covid -

Cashless coming soon?

Optimistic too much about crypto's acceptance? I dont think so.Then how about considering about those traditional e-payments that do credit/debit card do?
Im not saying or underestimating crypto but we should accept the fact that majority of people would always tend to rely into those things rather than
trying up something which havent been even mainly supported worldwide.So its still a questionable thing when it comes to that talks.

This global pandemic is not a blessing in disguise to me since I don't see it that way. But in the sense as a blessing in the nature I might consider it that way but I can't find the financial status as a blessing in disguise during this pandemic crisis. And I highly doubt that people would jump in to the cryptocurrency after this pandemic. Most people will choose the less risky options if they want to save than choose the high volatility cryptocurrency.

Global pandemic is a disaster man, no matter how you incorporate it with something positive it is killing people. Say that to the one that loss their love ones, it is not a fucking blessing at all. Please people don't think pandemic as a positive thing, yes! it makes us realize things but it doesn't mean that it is a good thing, it's a disaster that need a solution. Please think first before posting a sensitive topic.

This pandemic surely is a dire times for us but I am with you when you say that it is a blessing in disguise, if you look at it at a economist mindset, this will surely cripple a lot of markets that in turn make the price of their stocks and shares go down which is a once in a lifetime oppurtunity for people to buy more stocks or shares at a bargain price, I do not have to back up this with anything, this is just a basics in trading, buying low and selling high. If you do not believe what I am saying, you can just put your faith in the market, you know what they say about what goes up must go down and vice versa, that is how the market works, when it goes in a dump real quick, you can expect that it will skyrocket in a matter of time too.

Of course, there are some good things that bring this pandemic to us which is something we are not used to seeing every day in our life. but people's lives are changing fast and the most affected people are those who can afford to eat if they don't work on a daily basis. We cannot deny the fact that fear is taking over people's hearts nowadays. not only they fear becoming infected with the virus but they also fear when they lose some funds to buy some necessary needs, where they gonna get it.

This coronavirus is very alarming and now causing many people's death. It is very scary indeed but let's look at the brighter side this pandemic has given us. Many people are now concious about each and everyone's health, many are now aware that washing their hands and proper hygiene should really be practiced. Many nations are now helping each other. Many people are showing their goods sides by helping other people in need. Many scientists and anyone else in the medical field are now collaborating just to make find solution and cure to this pandemic, earth is now recovering and healing on it's own because of less vehicles in the road, and last but not the least, people's hope and faith to God strengthens because of this virus.
But still, people are dying, it's still a very scary thing.

Global pandemic is a disaster man, no matter how you incorporate it with something positive it is killing people. Say that to the one that loss their love ones, it is not a fucking blessing at all.

A pandemic will starvation and famine to those people who are poor and have no money. How come this is a blessing if people are suffering from this virus? Everyone are suffering and the government's support is not enough because they don't plan properly on how will they execute to manage this pandemic. The government should be responsible about this because it is for the safety of its people and for the people to survive this crisis. I'm not blaming the government, but they should fulfill the necessities of the people while they can't earn money because they can't go to work.

Please people don't think pandemic as a positive thing, yes! it makes us realize things but it doesn't mean that it is a good thing, it's a disaster that need a solution. Please think first before posting a sensitive topic.

It is good for the people who uses bitcoin, but not all of us here are using bitcoin, that's why the don't feel any excitement and confidence because all they are thinking is the lives of their family. It is very crucial to think that we have people who are risking their lives just to help people to recover from the virus. There are many people who are dying because of how lethal this disease is, and how people are risking their lives.

In any hard situation, there will be a way for us to solve every problem. Behind of this pandemic, we need to be grateful that we still are safe. We don't know how other people live out there, and I think they still struggle at this moment, the same as us.

The cashless already happen before the pandemic, and now, I guess, that way become popular among the people because people get limit when they go out, and that makes them use the online application or ordering food using an app. We need to calm down at this moment, and still clean from anything after we touch because we don't know how the virus can spread.

I agree it isn't a blessing in disguise we should consider the death and for those who sacrifice a lot during this crisis.
We shouldn't be so insensitive to call it as a blessing when there are so many people who are still in danger and there are so many casualties.
We are supporting the cashless society but not by sacrificing or using the death of so many people.

Of course, there are some good things that bring this pandemic to us which is something we are not used to seeing every day in our life.

Please name those good things that this pandemic has brought to us...
What are those?
Death, unemployment, fear, isolation, economic recession, overcrowded hospitals?
What good things has this pandemic brought?
You have more time to read cause your unemployed? You have time to spend with your family cause you are forced to stay indoor 23/7?

If this continues for two months we will all have a lot of time to "read about the blockchain" between to forages to Gas Town and the Bullet Farm.
Seriously, stop! There is nothing good in this, nothing, if this pandemic has brought more good than bad for you it means you had a pretty fucked
to begin with.

This coronavirus is very alarming and now causing many people's death. It is very scary indeed but let's look at the brighter side this pandemic has given us.
Many nations are now helping each other.
Many people are showing their goods sides by helping other people in need.


Yeah, lol..I've seen so many cases of nations helping each other I think it's almost like a war scenario.
Everyone accusing everyone of stealing their supplies or contracts, the same for the people!
The good part in people helping each other? Have you seen how there were fighting for a pack of toilet paper?

earth is now recovering and healing on it's own because of less vehicles in the road, and last but not the least, people's hope and faith to God strengthens because of this virus.


Yeah, the earth is recovering and millions are facing poverty and starvation. Such brilliance.
And people's faith in God is not rising anywhere, probably in some remote 10-century village, but Easter has passed with churches closed and nobody cares, faith in miracles is fading away, religion how it is now is on its last legs.

Well fundamentally we are still all going to die. So the pandemic did not change that.
It does point out how fucked humanity is but if you pay any attention to the world  you should have already known this.

If I weren't personally involved I would say  mother earth is simply cleaning house.  People won't like it cause in this case people are the dirt and filth that needs to be cleaned up.

I was born in 1957  I remember when the world had less then 3 billion people.  It was still a fucked up world with a lot of filth caused by people.
Now the earth is around a little less  then 8 billion.  My thoughts are: fuck is this the first of many pandemics and are a shit ton of people going to die?
So yeah while it is a wake up call people in general won't be able to do what is correct and more of the same is coming until the population gets drastically lowered.

so stompix I agree with you  it is going to be a long drawn out mess over the next few years.


Look at this site  the worlds population is still growing

https://www.worldometers.info/


more then 100,000 people more each day.  So I think this pandemic is just the first of many.

Let alone the world survive at first, then we will be seeing and talking about those prices and coins. Seeing this global pandemic as a reward, we can see a drastic drop in terms of air and noise pollution, the weather has completely changed and our environment looks pretty healthier than before. Taking it as a curse, the Coronavirus curve has steepened so quickly that it's looking to get out of the hands of our living big-hearted superheroes and we need to give them a lot of support for them to save us and save themselves too. This fight is not with Coronavirus if you ask me, it is a fight with ourselves because karma takes revenge and it's our karma that's showing us these days because this is what we did to our Mother Nature, so we are suffering from the same. Fight yourselves carefully and let us win against ourselves and save us and our Nature both.

We have now time for ourselves, we have now more time with our loves ones. There are also many things to do in quarantine. We can improve our mindset, mentality and also our intelligence by studying and reading different information sources while we are in quarantine. But still, the pandemic is a threat in every economy and in every human that is why we should always be careful.

No matter how we look at it there are so many casualties and so many people who would never be able to see their love ones again.
So we shouldn't be so insensitive about this topic because as some of us see it as a blessing there are some who are longing for their love ones be it a deceased or those who are still at the hospital fighting for their life.

Yeah it was, but for a while. If we compare bitcoin price movement after the pandemic came with stock price movement after the pandemic came. I have my own assessment that bitcoin is better then the stock market. Even in the few time ago bitcoin price was trying to increase and touch $8000 which I think it can't be happened on stock market. Most of the stock market are slumped down and can't back to the original price. Seem like you need a free time to see bitcoin price movement and I suggest to see it per day.

They won't openly say it but some people are actually glad this happened. Europe for example, has the problem of population aging, there are too many elderly the State assigns resources for (Socialism, remember?); while the wealth producing youth keeps decreasing.

And so it happens that those elderly are dying mostly in their homes over there. Spain and Italy are gruesome examples. Of course this virus also kills the youth, but in a lesser proportion. So from a cold, Machiavellian point of view, this benefits the State. I think it was some Japanese politician (Japan has the same issue) that said: "Hurry up and die already", to the elderly.

I don't know if this is also Trump's (USA) and Bolsonaro's (Brazil) mindset, when they wanted to "do nothing" and let the virus "wash" the country...

But its true that some people; politicians, wealthy, believe this is benefiting them in the long run. Logically people with money can easily isolate themselves at home since they don't need to work to live. The masses can go out and die for them, to keep their assets valuable of course.

I don't see this particularly benefiting for Bitcoin, unless one of the leading fiat currencies crash due to politician abuse (ie. printing); but this is a side-effect of a damaged economy product of people being unable to work for months rather than some sort of scare of using physical money; and clueless politicians following advise from Chicago school boys.

Bitcoin was built for exactly this scenario.

The global pandemic might just kickstart the worst recession in several generations. The fed is printing US dollars at record rate and most other fiat currencies are feeling the squeeze.

If Bitcoin can overcome its scaling woes relatively quickly, it has the potential to really take hold.

Yeah..it makes total sense, total sense!!!! So they are doing this to save money!

Let's check a bit the numbers, should we?
Italy had 15 million people living on pensions, the number of deaths, if we assume everyone dead was living off a pension is around 20 000. Let's make it 30000.

That would be 0.2%. Now, the cost of pensions related to GDP in Italy is 14%, which would lead us to 0.028 of the GDP.
Let's, however, assume they would have lived ten more years on average, they wouldn't have paid any VAT back from the income, they would be on the median pension and not on the lower-income category and you would still only have 0.02% of the GDP in savings!
0.02!!!!!!!! This compared to a recession which is going to be around 5 to 10% in the worst-case scenarios.

Stop it!
Btw, that's not socialism, that's welfare.

The truth of the matter is this global pandemic is really changing lives and changing nations. Things that we gave little attention to like regular washing of hand, the use of sanitizers and social distancing is now a must. Some of our leaders are now building huge facilities to curb down the situation. The most important thing is when everything calms down the  world is going to view the digital currency in a different spectacle which cryptocurency is going to be a great beneficiary. Lets calm down and stay safe since we are not in normal times. There is always light at the end of the tunnel. The cashless world will be coming soon  :)
Well you're right about that. There are countries where the government never cared about the health system, all because they know that they have the money to travel out to better countries where there are good health systems and leave the poor people to suffer.

But in this situation, every country is in lockdown, and these same people are not allowed to travel anywhere, which means that they will have to start building their health systems starting from now. This will be a very big lesson to countries where the governments never cared about the health system. From now on they will focus on it, if not, then they are fools. I really hope that this situation comes to an end and people recover quickly, so that things can get back to normal.

This is what they are calling "The new Normal" right now. Since many of the people out there are aware of the virus, many will do regular washing of hands, using alcohols, wearing masks while going out etc. I'm not quite sure about the social distancing though because even though it is implemented right now, there are still some places who aren't observing it.

People are transferring their money right now thru digital way but I doubt that they will use cryptocurrency after this crisis. Maybe there are some but still people will use digital transferring apps but not related to crypto but to fiat. We know already that there are some digital apps that we are using like Paypal, Gcash etc. Lets just stay safe for the moment and let us see what will happen after the pandemic :).

I agree about that that this pandemic is like a blessing in disguise just like you said but in a different way, Why? Because of the number of casualties is not a joke and it keeps on growing from time to time and most of the people are really scared about this virus that hit all over the world. On the other hand, people now are much closer to their families and the bonds are getting stronger each day. I am not saying that the pandemic is good for us but in times like this, we need to see the good in everything.

most people will see this pandemic as a non-natural global disaster that can endanger many people and even be a deep sadness for the world because it has claimed many lives. if there are people who consider this pandemic as a blessing, of course that person uses this disaster situation for business because they can take advantage of this situation by producing masks or personal protective equipment and even other needs that can be used now. for now without cash can indeed be an alternative, it is even strongly recommended to avoid physical contact with each other to reduce the spread of covid-19

It quite unfortunate that it turns out this way but those the created it has a stupid plan of creating a big havoc into the world, whereby weakening countries economy, gaining grounds with the millions of dollars they will make through the relief materials they'll sell out in course of finding the cure of the pandemic.

That's not the most important thing by far, nor do I even think that statement is true.  This outbreak may push the world toward being more cashless, but I don't think bitcoin is necessarily going to be a beneficiary of that.  Not unless more merchants start accepting it, and even then there's the problem of how bitcoin offers the average person an advantage over using a debit card or their smartphone when making payments--and that's been an issue right from the start.

This epidemic might be an eye-opener to the current population of humans alive at present, but memories are short.  Very few living folks remember the flu pandemic of 1918, which was much worse than COVID-19 in terms of lethality.  I'm reasonably confident that a few generations from now everyone will have forgotten all about this, and the world will have gone back to what it was before in terms of forgetting to wash your hands and staying six feet away from everyone else.  People just don't learn.

Yes, and no. It may teach us a couple things here and there, but to be honest these are things we shouldn't have forgotten to begin with. It's good to see the silver lining, but also don't just gleefully walk wide smiled face first into the next catastrophe, we need to prepare properly for future world events like this, we have the capacity and the means, people just don't seem to take this seriously.

The sad truth indeed my friend,,, I am very lucky to still have my job, but they cut our working hours to half, which we all agreed as one instead of letting go of some people, we opted for everyone to have half pay but the work is not really improving, so we fear we will face another cut. I am still spending days at work without working, at least they let us have free drinks in office. Scary time for everyone.

This makes me thankful for some small bitcoin savings.

Yes, it will need more time for every government will accept cryptocurrency, but we have good progress to go there. I think people now are learning about crypto while they at home, so they will know what the benefit of crypto to them is. But we already see the cashless already used in real life because now people are using credit/debit cards to pay or buy something. And there will a time for a crypto to be used in the local payment transaction.

The most important thing is when everything calms down the  world is going to view the digital currency in a different spectacle which cryptocurency is going to be a great beneficiary. Lets calm down and stay safe since we are not in normal times. There is always light at the end of the tunnel. The cashless world will be coming soon  :)

It will be difficult, every country has different rules. Bitcoin system, can not be controlled thi is a big problem. The decentralized system is opposed to the bank system. But I support the use of blockchain technology as efficiency.

Yes, it will need more time for every government will accept cryptocurrency, but we have good progress to go there. I think people now are learning about crypto while they at home, so they will know what the benefit of crypto to them is. But we already see the cashless already used in real life because now people are using credit/debit cards to pay or buy something. And there will a time for a crypto to be used in the local payment transaction.
I think bitcoin will stay as a crypto stock. Because as long there are poor people who dont have knowledge on cryptocurrency it will take a long ride to be title as a global currency. Like the movie In Time. The money is their time.
But i think with the day coming with a cashless society it will really have a big help for the earth as the earth slowly healing itself because of the lockdown

The truth of the matter is this global pandemic is really changing lives and changing nations. Things that we gave little attention to like regular washing of hand, the use of sanitizers and social distancing is now a must. Some of our leaders are now building huge facilities to curb down the situation. The most important thing is when everything calms down the  world is going to view the digital currency in a different spectacle which cryptocurency is going to be a great beneficiary. Lets calm down and stay safe since we are not in normal times. There is always light at the end of the tunnel. The cashless world will be coming soon  :)

In my opinion this pandemic situation in the whole world will change and is changing nowadays already not only the world of crypto and digital assets, but lots of different directions where we act, earn or whatever. For example people throughout the world started to study via online, and lots of governmental institutions implement lots of online services. Even private companies and restaurants use nowadays online services)))) of course it is possible not with every direction. Lots of them need your physical presence. but digital payments and online services nowadays are really popular, even there are an urgent need in them. But I am not sure that fiat or some physical assets will disappear at all))))) for example in my country government adopted a law that will tightly regulate the cashing out and digital money payments and transactions . In my opinion lots of people will start to use more fiat in this case)))

It is so sad that it needs to have a pandemic to finally appreciate everything and not take it all for granted. I have realized that people will only cling to things when things go awry and that is very disappointing, the other good thing that is happening right now is this pandemic let's you see real people, their real attitude which is a good thing because you are given the chance to avoid these people.

While this is horrible to say, I think we're going to get a few good things out of this Pandemic. I'll list them out below:

1. We'll be prepared for the next Pandemic - In the event that something like this happens again, we should've already started to put money towards this issue and we shouldn't have such a horrible response to it again. Meaning that we've probably dumped tons of money into proper research, planning, purchases of masks/other medical products, and things along those lines. Either we don't even have an issue with the next Pandemic due to a vaccine being found before it can spread or we just have a better response in the future.

2. Working from home should be easier - Now that a large amount of jobs have setup the infrastructure for working from home, people may have a better time convincing their boss that it is possible and that they'll be able to work from home without issue.

So that's what I think we've got out of this. Sad to see the lives lost and everything from this, it's horrible and I feel for those that are suffering.

The pandemic taught us how we should not neglected proper hygiene and to not relinquish new scientific discoveries and advance our learnings towards both technology and medical treatment, so we can prepare for the next pandemic with less casualties. One of the major changes that this pandemic could potentially woken up others is that the fundamental flaws of our monetary system such as banks. On how they can manipulate and produce money injecting it to the system causing inflation.

No matter how you say it. COVID-19 is not a blessing in any possible way but COVID-19 made a lot of people realize that Health Care System should be prioritized and strengthen, It should be affordable and accessible by all people. Government can take this pandemic as a lesson learned for the next upcoming Pandemics. It is important to Fund researches for Vaccines to prevent pandemics and future influenza mutations (https://www.niaid.nih.gov/diseases-conditions/universal-influenza-vaccine-research) . Vaccines are important and Everything should be backed by evidences and scientific facts. But Still, This Pandemic is not a Blessing in Disguise, more of a Wake Up Call for every people in every nation.
