Bitcoin Forum

Bitcoin is a famous and valuable digital currency in crypto world. Many hackers using it on their evil deeds,that's why many people says that bitcoin is useful for criminals and people involved with them. But despite that,bitcoins value keep on increasing and many others also said that bitcoin is important because of the technology that makes it work.

During this time that we are experiencing difficulties because of pandemic ,I can say that bitcoin is what we really need.Why? What is the importance of bitcoin now?
     >Bitcoin is so important during this time of pandemic that we need to take care of ourselves and for our families and loved ones to not be infected with the virus.

     >Bitcoin is intangible,you can't touch or handle it unlike fiat money that hold by different hands and it is prone to viruses.

     >Bitcoin serves as an instrument for online payments away from covid 19 and with the ability to transact internationally beyond the framework of financial regulation.

     >Millions of people have lost their job because of this pandemic. Why not use this bitcoin as a substitute to your work in order to earn money to sustain the needs of your family.
       I know  there are other ways to earn but in terms of safety from virus outside our home much better to earn money using bitcoin. Also,there are many ways to earn it.

   During this pandemic we need to: Stay at Home
                                                     Stay Safe
                                                     Stay Positive and Earn with Bitcoin

Just a good advice, leave a space after each commas, to make your post easily readable.

You are right, but we should be careful of scammers, also study well about bitcoin trading and investment. But, because you are looking for ways to earn, do not put pressure on yourselves because you can also lose if you invest with low quality mindset and with lack of patience. You need to study how the market works and well analyze bitcoin before starting at all.

Bitcoin has helped truly during this pandemic, especially for payments across the borders, and also for other online payments, no need to touch it like fiats, which means it can not aid but only prevent the spread of corona virus.

Fiat can also be transacted digitally without the need for physical contact or exchange of notes.
Bitcoin can not feasibly be used for all daily payments globally at this time. Very small payments, like a cup of coffee purchase would incur volatile fees which would be similar or more than the price of the product, also there would have to be a wait period for confirmation of the transaction.

Bitcoin is a currency and cannot be used as a substitute for employment. You can of course provide a service and ask for payment in Bitcoin, but you'll be earning based off your skill, the Bitcoin network would only be a channel to accept payments.

---

One of the benefits of Bitcoin is; its use by people, especially those from countries whose economies have suffered most from the pandemic, as a hedge fund to protect their assets from their inflating legal tender.

All in all the advice presented here carries some substance to it. It is true that while BTC has provided alternatives to those who know how to use it during the pandemic the digital fiat version was in effect even more dominant - as expected.

The take home message from that though is that digital currency can fill in a lot of gaps and it shows that with a lot of time and infrastructure, plus education crypto can become the new digital currency - as it should be. The advantage of substituting fiat for crypto is simple in terms of its reduced effect against disease transmission and its scope for easier personal finance.

Well, as much as I want to agree on all the things you have listed as the importance of Btc during this time of pandemic, but we can't deny the fact that cc, debits, bank account holders offers the same importance as It could make online transactions and bank transfers without actually have physical contacts as a payment method.

While earning through Bitcoin may won't be easy as it needs skills and thorough knowledge before engaging into several investment plans or starting to make a trading career.
I don't mean to make negative comments, rather I'm just stating facts  ;)


I'd rather say stay negative.... from the virus lol

Well, perhaps this is what means by the OP. Bitcoin is important during a pandemic because of its kind that we can pay ^{[contactless payment]} to avoid possible physical contact by not holding physical currency. But remember not only bitcoin is considered digital currency. We also have e-cash which is through debit/credit cards.
This indeed the best weapon against scammer, --educate your self and not become greedy. People will encounter such a scam if they are too much greedy with having any investigation or research before investing their money just like what happened on Twitter scammed. However, there are various importance of bitcoin and the blockchain technology that should we use during a pandemic.

Having online transaction using digital.currency is one way to maintain minimum health protection against the covid19. And bitcoin could be consider as digital currency because it has a value and some establisent are accepting bitcoin as payments.

But, it is not a guarantee that you can't get the virus when you're staying at home. Of course there should be a mber of the family to go outside tl buy the basic needs. Or other circstances like those food deliveries where contact could be done by the foods being deliver at your house or the driver itself that will be a contact for covid19.

So, no one is safe even if staying at home but the good thing is that staying at home will somehow help to contain the spread of the virus within neighbors.

Not that really much yet we do know that fiat online payments had been existed for a while now.Im not saying Bitcoin didnt make such impact but people who doesnt know will surely
stick out to traditional ways.If paper fiat is one way of transmitting the virus then they do simply make use of their cards.One situation here on my place where a supermarket
do make out changes on where making out e-payments via their own made system just to get rid of paper fiat contacts.For people who do know Bitcoin/crypto and does have
knowledge on where to seek out possible income via crypto then thats truly an advantage specially now that people are losing jobs.

I guess you are suggesting people invest and to trade with bitcoin. These are two ways that I can think of as you have said for earning money through bitcoin. But, this isn't an easy task.

Many traders aren't really growing with trading so they prefer to hold it. It's true that we can earn from it but it doesn't mean that others can perfectly execute trading or holding it. We learn from our experiences and the newcomers won't apply that quickly.

Not many people are skilled to trade crypto especially if you are a beginner. Because you don't know how crypto trading works, you are bound to lose your money. But if you do really want to explore the crypto trading, you need to start small and start from there. Small profits in bitcoin trading is much better than losing your funds to a not so familiar alt.

Also, one can also check the services section (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0) here. Some are posting their skills in exchange of crypto and some are looking for jobs to accomplish. Who knows, you are a very talented graphic designer and someone needs your services. What I am saying here is, just look around and you may see an opportunity.

I don't see the connection between the 2 ideas here TBH :D.

Also take note that there is digital cash where you can transact with other people using also cash but thru digital payments like Paypal. Yes there are some maybe who are accepting Bitcoin but most of us are using digital cash for online payment transactions.

If you are a techy guy and you know something about Bitcoin or even the crypto in general that may help you to earn at least some few bucks right now then it will be good. Even some of the freelancers are heavily affected right now because some of the businesses have been shut down.  There are many ways to earn online. Just pick anything that is align to your skills.

Thanks for the advice but I don't like to be positive in virus :D. Lets stay Positive in life is what you mean :P. Hope all of us are doing well right now :).

The exaggerated news about covid-19 brought more people inside digital / crypto industry,  interest rise up since most people stay at home and the only way to transact is by means of digital access.


To lessen the chance of keep the virus to spread more, protocols such as avoiding touching anything has been implemented from most countries around the world.


It provide opportunities though not a job directly but you can manage to earn if you fully understand the system.

What even????
Well, yea, it's cryptocurrency after all. Though the same could be said with Digital currency, which by far a lot of people find a lot easier to use, especially since only a few merchants accept BTC.
Same thing I said above, paypal could be used (though they have this sht rule that allows users to take back what they sent), though I really doubt you'd even need to transact internationally during this time.
Bitcoin isn't a money-making machine, stop it. It requires skill and knowledge to even profit out of trading Bitcoin daily, though if you're planning to hodl it in the long term, then that's much easier though not really effective with how we're being attacked by the pandemic now.

Like? Working? Yes. Trading? Yes. What else? Former is pretty difficult since there are only a few jobs out there paying in BTC, plus works that align with your skills are pretty difficult to comeby, otherwise most people wouldn't be having a problem about finance right now. Latter is as I said above.

I'm really loving this feature of bitcoin. Look, I can buy prepaid load without even going on the nearest [ir]sari-sari[/i] store (sort of a mini grocery store). Through btc, I can minimize the time of going outside thus minimizing the chances of getting the virus as well. But aside from that, It also provides me a significant convenience because I no longer need to wear mask, disinfect etc. because I can already get what you want one click away :).
Indeed, bitcoin keeps me alive. With bitcoin plus the money I got from lecturing math lessons, I was able to sustain my daily needs this pandemic. Imagine, even me who already finished my college and got a degree wasn't able to get a job in this trying times then what more for people who can only do hard labor. That's why I'm very blessed to have btc. I can say that I will continue investing as long as I live because it's already close to my heart. I already experienced so many lifesaving moments with it before which I can't forget :).

The importance of bitcoin in this pandemic it can help you to earn money you just need gadget and you don't need to go out because right now it's to dangerous to go out.And right now many people loss their job because in the pandemic they need sideline to earn money so I want to recommend bitcoin to them because it can help them big time

That's why they were called beginners because they can't make it. Investors who tend not to trade but experienced in the volatility of bitcoin can also find difficulty in trading and making a living out of it.

Various platforms that allows employers to post jobs and task in exchange of bitcoin. Some may be short term and others can go as long term, you just need to find the right platform for it and one is in the Services, some are sub-reddits.

Maybe bitcoin is not really a money making machine but you can still earn money through it.
You know people are created so special and with a lot of skills.I think we should not underestimate the knowledge and skills of every people. Everyone can earn bitcoin easily on their own. If they are smart person then there is no problem to learn bitcoin easily and on how to have and use it. Also people have different needs and situation, you can't say that they don't have any financial problem right now.
 I think bitcoin is really a big help during this pandemic

The importance of bitcoin during covid-19 is that we can still earn on it by trading and investing, as what we all know there are a lot of people that is now looking for an extra income, because we cannot go to work and meet different people we need to stay at home for us to stay safe and healthy.

This is what I am searching to read, one of the importance of bitcoin is when we understand that bitcoin is also an asset not just for goods and services but a way for us to earn and put some food to our table. Though, it isn't explicitly indicated in the white paper, but with this time that we cannot do our job, trading will benefit us a lot since I see, CMC is showing most of the crypto as bullish.

Perhaps, in this pandemic, bitcoin could be a tool for transparency in terms of donation so that people could freely verify if the funds reach the good hands.

You only repeating your first statement with other words. Even bitcoin can be used for online payments, only a few merchant accept Bitcoin and since bitcoin price is volatile... I don't think it's good to use as daily payment like fiat. You'll have trouble if bitcoin price is pump when you want to buy something and you're in hurry, are you want to wait for 1 hours until the price pump? ::)

Bitcoin is not only the one digital currency, you can use paypal or credit card.

Same as above, use paypal or credit card to receive your payment. You need to be specific on "many ways to earn it", what I know is many people earn Bitcoin trough faucet and sell his KYC. That's not a good ways, faucet only wasting your time and your KYC can be used for crime. The good way to earn is invest and trading (you need to understand and have good knowledge about Bitcoin)

what you have in mind is digital money not bitcoin alone because being "digital" is only one aspect of bitcoin and it is not even the most important one. the biggest bitcoin characteristic that makes it valuable and is the main reason why it keeps on growing is its decentralization. otherwise if you just want to make money online, don't handle cash,... then can use something like PayPal too!

OP,you are repeating things that have already been mentioned in the forum during the last few months.
Most of things you are writing either wrong or partially true.
Bitcoin is not a job.It's not that easy for total newbies in the cryptocurrency world to find a good job that is paying in BTC to substitute their 9/5 job.
Most of the features of Bitcoin that you are mentioning are the same as the features that digital fiat payment processors have.
You should learn more about Bitcoin,instead of writing pointless,unnecessary posts here.

This is actually very true about BTC i think. BTC has changed the thought of  currency transferring system although it is digital currency. But now people thinking in a a new way that is positive side for all of us. Specially in Pandemic situation more people engaged with BTC when their income of source was zero for staying home. I also took one of be best income source for in this situation.  So i will also suggest everyone to take a chance as a main source of income staying from home by safe.

thanks.

Bitcoin can possibly used more on digital transactions or online shopping. As people are not allowed to go outside and risk their health to go shopping, people tends to use their online wallet or online money to buy their necessities or their wants. BTC is really good for this season, this is a good investment and a good asset for people who are looking for a brighter future.


No, if you are strictly following the rules and regulations and those protocols of using PPEs and following the social distancing, then it is less likely for a certain family member to become infected when he go outside. Prevention is really much better, if you are aware about the virus, you will not get it easily because you are taking care of yourself.

The same in deliveries, if you sanitize or disinfect the deliveries or the things that you've ordered online, then it might make you safe from the virus. But when the delivery man comes, always do the social distancing and as soon as possible, he may live the item outside to have a lesser contact.

Indeed. In this time of trying, where millions of people losts their jobs and so many losses that we couldn't imagine, Bitcoin is really a big help to everyone who knows its great features. Aside from working and earning, it can definitely help us managed our finances through digital transactions while following the safety guidelines from the government to just stay home. For me, its really recommendable in the City, where covid-19 cases rises higher everyday, so people will never go out often if its not necessary at all. Though, it can't really sustain our daily needs unless we have huge bitcoins stored in our digital wallets, but somehow it could really help with a little patience and hardworks here, having all the knowledge it requires. All the efforts will be paid off for sure.

It was quite difficult to survive durong this months. Yet, cryptocurrency continued to fall and rise no matter what. And I managed to earn a bit.

maybe your intentions are good,, so that people avoid the covid-19 attack. However, in my opinion, the use of bitcoin as an alternative to online payments is less effective, because it seems that in every country including mine, many electronic money services have been widely used for various payment needs during this pandemic.
for people who already understand the cryptocurrency system, it is possible to make bitcoin a job like trading or even for investment. But you have to realize, not everyone has this expertise, even there are still many people who are not familiar with bitcoin.

Most of the things mentioned above speaks for every digital currency not only Bitcoin especially those points OP have mentioned preventing the spread of the virus. One thing I want to point out is this part:

This is the common misconception of Bitcoin and other cryptos. It is not a good source income in a sense that it is still an investment and there's no assurance of profit. Indeed, the market price is increasing at a good rate but that's not related to the pandemic, so we could consider it as something which will not ALWAYS occur during a pandemic. But to try linking it in the current situation, given that many people lost their job, where would they get a capital to invest? If they would "gamble" their savings in an investment tbat is not a good solution to generate income because at times like this, assurance is a must because not all people could afford losing an amount right now IF EVER the market value of it fall in a sudden which is not impossible knowing how unpredictable the market is, in its nature.

let's talk about the time that it takes for the transaction to be confirmed, it is quite a lot as compared to other digital payment methods and the transactions made over the cryptocurrency network aren't reliable with much fewer confirmations, for example a bitcoin transaction takes almost 6 blocks to get confirmed and trusted but the payments made by the digital methods to shops are considered more reliable. Also, most of the population doesn't even know about these cryptocurrencies and they are happy in not knowing these things as they want to live a simple life and not want to complicate it more with these cryptocurrencies.

Digital money is important during the pandemic because it minimises tactile contacts involving multiple people. Unfortunately, it is not an argument for Bitcoin, as long as fiat debit cards can do the job just fine. I haven't heard of retailers starting to accept Bitcoin as payment during the pandemic, to be honest. Moreover, while the value of Bitcoin has increased, I don't think it happened because it became more used as money. It's most likely due to people buying and hodling, treating it like they treat gold. The only point that makes Bitcoin stand out is crypto-related jobs allowing to stay and home earn.
As for learning to trade, I don't think the pandemic is a good time for additional financial risks. Learning new skills - sure, spending money on additional stuff hoping it'll pay off - not until the economy stabilizes.

During the pandemic, it is more noticeable that people who are adopting digital payment are using other popular methods like PayPal. Bitcoin is one of the other options to avoid the physical touching of things that may help in spreading the virus. But just like what you said, it requires a deeper understanding and not everyone is still aware of bitcoin.

The same goes for people who lost their jobs. Not everyone who lost their job can understand bitcoin easily. For us, we saw the importance of bitcoin even with or without the pandemic, but I think it's not always applicable for everyone especially that they still lack awareness about it.

Bitcoin and blockchain technology have proven itself that it can also save our financial system, especially in the middle of this pandemic of COVID-19 from further collapse where stocks and banking system are now struggling. And now, the bitcoin market is the more stable and continuously improving that the it is not being affected by the Coronavirus crisis.

Absolutely, we can say that during this pandemic cryptocurrency especially bitcoin is being recognized by many people because of its use which is for payment, making transaction online that we don't need physical contact to other people which is very important in a crisis like this because we still need to be careful since the vaccine is still not created. It is convenient for them to use bitcoin as payment methid but we all know here that it is not only for payments, we can use it to invest or trade to earn more money but they need a lot of knowledge for them to make money with trading or investing. Despite of being famous all around the world, there are still people who don't know bitcoin exist and the people that are thinking that bitcoin is a scam.

Most of the information of OP is really good in terms with the use of the bitcoin and this is the most essential thing right now which is the use of the digital currency we would like to avoid spreading of the virus and one of the best and efficient way is don't use any physical money because this is one of the dirtiest things we could ever have.


Honestly, I didn't understand what is the connection, correlation, and other types of relationships with this statement. Give us a chance to understand this statement.


I think this is a bad mindset for me because you don't have a job and you want to earn money and investment with the bitcoin as a substitute to earn money? It's a big NO. You will focus to survive now than mind making an investment again the market is volatile instead you are getting enough funds to help your family you will lose those because of the volatility.

Beyond working to earn bitcoin, the health benefits of the digital currency during the lockdwon and covid-19 era has shown that transmission of the disease can be done via cash handling. the use of bitcoin therefore reduces the cash handling process and further reduces the possibility of a spread amongst peer-to-peer transactions.

 Bitcoin is very important in this pandemic. Because it is use only online.

Nah get used to it on where we would really able to see repetitive kind of post or topics even though its already been mentioned nor discussed in the past.You cant stop people on posting up on whats their thoughts on specific topic without even putting some little time or effort on making up a simple search if the thing he had in mind had already been discussed.

This is also on what on my mind too on where people should think off that digital fiat payment do exist and if the time that people do need to go cashless then they will simply switch to that.

I agree that not all will really be having that idea nor knowledge on letting himself find some bitcoin or crypto related jobs.

The most importantly about Bitcoin during the pandemic is the upholding value of it be an assets to those who believed in it. During this novel coronavirus pandemic, many fiats currencies where devalued and many still be devaluing, so, having this assets called Bitcoin was a savior to my countrymen.

The Naira(Nigeria currency) was devalued several times but never affected my living and that of my families. Bitcoin was a valuable asset to me during this pandemic and haven't regretted getten involve in this course.

But is bitcoin really important? I mean we got still a lot of opportunity to earn during the pandemic not just bitcoin besides it is not always green in bitcoin, you cannot just expect money to go right away after hours of investing, it does not work like that. And if you are just a normal/average citizen you can't just shot you bullets into bitcoin coz you still got expenses in daily living and you need to save especially now that most of the jobs are pause, as what you said it is dangerous to go outside.

Sideline not risks after risk. Bitcoin is risky, maybe you thought it was all good with bitcoin because of the recent pump but it really ain't. It is better to find consistent job during this time, and we got a lot of that in the internet.

Yes Bitcoin did a huge part on my life in this pandemic it help me a lot since I am earning and I have some savings in crypto.
My family manage to survive because of Bitcoin and crypto currency because of this lock down we need to take a break from our real job.

Unfortunately, bitcoin can't be used everywhere "for now".

And I think you are lacking information that if we say "fiat" it's a physical thing right away. Didn't you know that online payment is encouraged even before the pandemic and since the pandemic struck, online fiat payment is mostly and heavily used? I'm a crypto enthusiast but fiat payment gives way more advantage to me this lockdown. Thanks for a number of payment processors here, we have lots of options. With just one-click and or literally around just 1-2 seconds, the transaction is already completed.


I think there's confusion here on your part. Do you want these people who lost their job to buy bitcoin then expect that everyday should be GREEN as a form of income to sustain the family's daily needs? Take note also of fees.

Bitcoin is volatile. It shouldn't be primarily used as a tool to cover a family's everyday and regular needs unless they a crypto-oriented people before the pandemic and have some ways already to earn crypto or able to save some before. What these people need to do is to use their remaining money to think of possible good business, small or not to somehow survive their everyday needs. You can't just tell them to go buy bitcoin as they just lost their job. If they have some extras, that's the time they can consider buying bitcoin.

Its actually not just Bitcoin that we are able to earn during this time of pandemic. Bitcoin and the Alternate Cryptocurrencies are already able to help most users even before the time of pandemic. The Corona Virus was just an unfortunate event that made the world be mindful of their health and some countries really need to implement better healthcare systems.

Gaining and earning in the Cryptocurrency Industry can be really useful since it can act as another source of financial assistance in the times of needs.

The Bitcoin currency had a very large and positive role during the spread of the virus, as this gloom helped to purchase needs remotely without any contact with paper currencies that could be a vector of disease, in addition to this currency helped to collect very large amounts of donations that were made to health organizations Located in different parts of the world

Even before without pandemic bitcoin has a vital role to the users. And since their is virus globally somehow through bitcoin people could use this as a tool to make payments and purchase goods so we can get rid of using fiat during this time. That's also an advantage using this digital currency it can collect money and donate to an organization. Before pandemic bitcoin is already use and encourage those people to adopt this digital currency. Also a lot of ways we can use bitcoin but the fact is others don't know yet this kind of digital currency and still lack of knowledge on how it works and can be used.

Only a few see's Bitcoin of its importance this time and appreciated it, not all. The majority are still using fiat instead of crypto or any digital mode of payment because most of the establishments are accepting fiat and we can't deny that. But we are also thankful for this development as it could make our life easier and faster transactions but we can't neglect also the risk and the prone to scams. In fact, not only a few but a lot of people got scammed because scammers had used the name of Bitcoin for their evil intention.

Bitcoin really helps a lot to us specially in this times that people are not safe outside of their house, because of online transactions we can make to pay our bills. But accept the fact that the majority still using fiat because some establishments are still not accepting bitcoin. However in my own experience Bitcoin serves as my financial support to sustain our needs and to bring food on our table for my family in this hard time of pandemic.

but Bitcoin should have a function to be one of the payment options available in all countries. because during the pandemic, many people do not make direct physical contact and prefer to make digital payments, maybe that is the best option for bitcoin in the future

Yes bitcoin in future will surely gets acknowledge even up to now the present had already been acknoedge by the government and other countries are giving already other exchanges and apps the license to operate that includes the advise from its consumers the possible risk it can get.

For now most banks do well in this pandemic. Most of the transactions now are being done online to which trust now doing business online is high already. Because of this bitcoin may find a way to evolve and bring digital currency into the next level.

The pandemic causes the world economy to be seriously delayed and the cash flow will be withdrawn from the market. To preserve value and fight inflation, they will switch from cash to other types of haven assets such as gold, silver, stocks and bitcoin. I think the pandemic has caused bitcoin to increase strongly and steadily in recent times.

I must say that bitcoin is really one of the options in order for you to have something to eat and work for during this pandemic. Through all of the hardships and struggle that we experienced during this Covid-19 outbreak, we really need a lot of necessities to survive and prioritize having a budget to use for. So investing is one of the best option and opportunity to grab in order to sustain your needs and secure your future with its benefits.

Bitcoin can help you grow with proper manipulation.

As people are not allowed to go outside, travel, and go to work, some people already lost their job due to quarantine and some businesses are closing due to insufficient funds that will make them hard to operate and reopen.

 So engage with bitcoin as soon as possible and see the benefits and advantages if you work on it.

I somehow agree with all the things you've said but unfortunately, it won't work for all. Fiat currency can also offer digital and cashless payments. That's what I used now insted of btc cause who would accpet btc right? Kind of sucks but what can we do?

I don't know what sideline in btc you are talking about but I hope those who are getting in this industry during this time would not lose all their money left in Trading or other scams. Those who lost their jobs can't really just jump into trading cause you know why, risky unless they are knowledgeable first. Some can't afford the risk being involved here specially this time.

I would only let a friend get into btc if he already understand all the things here. And of course he should be here not because of the quick buck.

All of the advice in opening post I really agrees, especially regarding Bitcoin providing opportunities to make money
when it's a lot people who have lost their jobs due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With Bitcoin we can trade or invest, even
though it's not easy to earn money by trading or investing in Bitcoin. But if we have a strong desire to learn, we can
definitely make money from Bitcoin trading or investment. Therefore, in a pandemic situation like now the role of Bitcoin
is quite important.

The virus doesn't look at wanting to land on who has a certain amount of Bitcoin. There is no connection between viruses and the bitcoin balance in your wallet. They can still be a part of your body even if you own 1 million bitcoins

This point I agree 50%, because in its use, bitcoin does not cause contact with your business opponents, or sellers. But is it possible that you go to an outdated shop to buy 4 servings of instant food using Bitcoin, while you are served by an old grandpa who doesn't understand the internet. That means, your Bitcoin may not be used in every store

agree 98%, as long as there is banking system, bitcoin cannot be 100% the only means of online payment

there is nothing to blame here, because it is very rare for people to understand bitcoin to potentially make money. The solution is to legalize education about cryptography internationally
     

Remember cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin is not the only way people can do transactions and they are not only the ones that can be intangible because fiat or physical money do also have a digitalize version which can be accessed through online mobile banking features provided by banking apps and other money storage applications that is available in the country. Also other than digital banking, there is also credit/debit cards allowing people to do cashless transaction so they are still safe from getting infected by the virus.



With regards to online payments, Bitcoin is not the only one that can do online transaction because banks do also have digital platform intended for that usage as well as other applications to do cashless transaction online. So people can do still have other option other than using Bitcoin at the time of pandemic.


It is true that lots of people have drastically loss their jobs because of the temporary closure of business establishments brought by the implementation of community quarantine because of the pandemic so working with Bitcoin will be useful to serve as an alternative job but still it won't be enough reason for people to stick on engaging into Bitcoin for as long as they have other ways or options to earn out of Bitcoin. But indeed Bitcoin do have an important role amid with this pandemic but for crypto users maybe, but for other people while they still have plenty of choices other than that, they will surely grab the opportunity of engaging on it.

The coronavirus hit the global economy hard and this dire state of the economy has forced people to look for alternatives like using crypto currencies. Some people loss their job that's why they are selling online and using bitcoin for payment and investment. Also, in fear of transmitting covid-19 they prefer to pay online and looking for a cashless payment. This pandemic can accelerate the worldwide transition to digital payments while serving as a catalyst for the modernization of the financial industry.

this really happen to me right now i loss my job, my workplace bankrupt, damnnnn this covid really hit the market so hardd  :'( :'( :'(

but the importance of bitcoin during the pandemic itself beside of payment we can earn some penny and work as bounty hunter to cover everyday need  :)

---

and i just hope the pandemic will come to end

I think that the importance of bitcoin can clearly see to those who owned it. It helps then to have a an alternative means of money eventhough they cannot work during this pandemic because most countries close their economy in order to lessen the transmission of the virus. I think that bitcoin will be a big help to those who have it already other than to who wants to start tradingot earning bitcoin in which needs to have a capital and lots of time to do research anf task to have small amout of bitcoin. In my personal opinion, I don't think that bitcoin will be a good subtitute to earn money in this pandemic.

For those people who have known bitcoin better even before the pandemic might be an advantage for them to earn bitcoin and use it for a cashless payment transaction but for those people who have loss their jobs and still not able to know about bitcoin, they should still seek other options to sustain their income for their daily survival. Bitcoin could be helpful to this pandemic but the process to earn it might not be as easy as it is as it needs to be studied and understood before using it.

Bitcoin has a big role for me during this trying times.

I do earn on my investment and in the signature campaign where im in.
I use bitcoin to pay my bills and sending/receiving money from relatives, giving me the convenience for not going outside. I was able to buy goods online as well using my btc since there are already shop accepting it as payment.

All of these because of bitcoin so its really a good thing that I had the opportunity to know about btc and crypto as a whole.

Bitcoin becomes an asset to fight inflation well during the pandemic. Bitcoin, like gold, is rapidly growing in value during the season. During the pandemic Gold and Bitcoin grew about 30% or more. I think the results are too great.

I believe that a lot people, former enthusiast or a newbie, had realize more what is the essence of Bitcoin during this pandemic. Beside the features and sorts of that of Bitcoin, the important thing is it provided a job and some kind of hope to many individuals. Being quarantined at home for months had surely made people loss some of their savings as some became unemployed as well.

What role?

Bitcoin stayed the same cryptocurrency we know for years despite the pandemic. Nothing really changed in this pandemic with Bitcoin, the price increases, that is the same in the past years. People are using it? I don't think so, I don't even think that this is a first choice of people when it comes to online payments since here in our country, only a handful of them are accepting it.

I actually love bitcoin and I do support it, but I do not believe that bitcoin is what we really need in this times of pandemic.
But yes, it can help us somehow.

I do agree. Though there are fiat currencies that are also being used digitally. Like USD, we can use them to lessen the spread of the virus via those tangible moneys. And like on our country, some of companies here offers us digital wallets for us to be able to store, send, make payments, etc.. And as of now, they are also using it to distribute some money assistance for families that are affected by the pandemic.

I am not against bitcoin (remember that), but I do not agree that it is what we need right now. I am a fan of bitcoin since the day I understood how it works. I love it because it is one of the most convenient currency right now. We can use it for various things. We can make payments using it. Send money to someone. We can also even buy or sell it, that is what I love the most because this is profitable. Not just profitable but it could be the start (or maybe it was the start) of new era of currencies on our society.

Bitcoin may not be that usable for you or other people there but some people are actually getting something out of it. My cousin's been earning some small profit he's using to sustain the needs of his family since he's unemployed this pandemic. It isn't the transactions that only matters, it could also be other ways.

Bitcoin in the middle of this pandemic has helped me and my family because I have been able to receive an income throungt of it. Bitcoin is the King when it comes to an exchange of pair BTC / Fiat. It is the crypto with large volume. If technology business owners who do not yet know Bitcoin implemented it in their economies, they could keep their operations active and provide employment to people around the world.  I  think that we are the best promoters of Bitcoin because we know its potential first hand.

In our country, the unemployment rate of the employees right now rose to around 45% which is very unfortunate for those workers.

What's worse is that some of at least half of the people right now isn't ready for this pandemic. What I mean is they didn't have any savings since the start of the pandemic because of some reason (maybe they don't have enough money to save or they are just spending their salaries in some useless things). Some of them are begging in the streets already and some are just waiting for some aids to receive.

For those who have savings before the pandemic then at least they aren't affected that much compare to those who doesn't have any savings at all. Unfortunately not all of them knows Bitcoin or worse they don't know that a thing called Bitcoin is existing for a long time already.

Even before the time of the outbreak of the Corona Virus, Bitcoin and the whole Crypto Industry is always important. Cryptocurrency gave jobs to some people that only have the Internet and time as investments. Bitcoins sudden price surge really helped those people who HODLed them and that is an interesting fact because people knowing that can actually invite them to learn about Cryptocurrencies.

Yeah we all knew that but the thing now is Bitcoin is more helpful than the past and this time it is more difficult because the pandemic can be acquire thru fiat changing hands or going outside to pay for bills and everything.

While in Bitcoin we can just sit on our couch and start paying anything without hassle.

though the limit are there because not everything in each country can be transact by Bitcoin as there are many who has not adopted bitcoin yet.

Bitcoin as an online payment transaction, I think, has not really been realized at this time, because my country does not provide regulations as an online payment tool due to the fluctuating nature of bitcoin and is only used as a commodity subject that can be traded on the futures trading exchange.
and the importance of bitcoin during the pandemic as the best and most suitable livelihood is very true. Bitcoin can be a substitute for the main job during a pandemic, because it is very productive, but you must know the knowledge, namely trade and investment. Trade not only Bitcoin but many other digital currencies.

Not only about the job, bitcoin is helping us in many ways in this pandemic situation. We are able to buy things by the help of bitcoin. We can payment through it and it helps to save money and time.

I hate this kind of arguments that people put up. So what do you think people used before crypto currencies were invented? I mean how did they commit their illegal acts? How did the terrorists get their financial support? Are they trying to say that there were no illegal activities before crypto currencies were made?

1. ?? (what does bitcoin importance has to do with taking care of family?)
2. You can make cashless transaction with fiatmoney.
3. You can do that with paypal too.
4. You mean by trading? Risks are involved!

I am not against crypto currencies, but arguments like these misleads people.

I agree that the role of Bitcoin is very important during the pandemic, all of the points mentioned in the opening post are true.
Therefore, education and promotion about Bitcoin must be done frequently, so that common people can use Bitcoin to overcome
financial problems he is experiencing in a pandemic situation like now.

problems from financial cannot be solve instantly with btc but people can invest on btc before the problem comes , it acts like a savings so that we can get a money  . its important to have a savings but i dont consider btc to be verry important because there are more important things during pandemic such as vaccines , medicines , etc . we can also save using fiats . bitcoin knowledge isnt necesary but people can learn it if they want to open new posibilities

One of the things that bitcoin brought in this pandemic that can be rescued is that despite Covid-19, it is an economy that is always dynamic, its speculative market has maintained a good volume, the market did not stop, it had its fall but it was one of rapid recovery, in fact it was the first speculative market that rose.

True mate. I am very thankful to bitcoin and to cryptocurrencies especially to Satoshi Nakamoto who created this Digital money are really worth to hold and to have because cash is useless when it comes on this situation. Crypto is the future. Bitcoin is the future.

I lost my job after this pandemic took place, the government in my country only provided a little help to all of its people, I just found a really good project like IDENA, I get this coin for free every 14 days by following validation also following this coin mining who only use ordinary laptops without CPU power, even the distribution of mining rewards is divided equally among all miners, my income increases when I sell this coin into bitcoin, because in my country only bitcoins can be cashed, I feel this bitcoin helps us get income while at home

It seems like you are one of my fellow citizens in my country haha if I'm not mistaken. Well it's good for you and for me also that we have this kind of sideline that we can use to survive in the middle of this pandemic because our family needs support from us most especially when it comes to financial.

I think I have to agree with this because I have somehow experienced this firsthand. I didn't exactly lose a job 'cause I didn't have one in the first place. But during those times when I was desperately looking for a source of income while staying at home, and after getting scammed twice, bitcoin became my salvation. I was able to earn the amount I was scammed with with the help of bitcoin.

My partner also have the same situation with me. And bitcoin helped him a lot especially during this trying time. He is able to support his siblings financially and his personal needs as well. That's why we really appreciate what bitcoin did to our lives and bitcoin itself.

In my view, digital currencies are useful, as you say, in the world they have them too, I mean like transacting online with digital fiat in every country or with PayPal. From what you have said, are the advantages of digital currency, and also making income from bitcoin is good to do but is not as easy as you think because the risk is too high too. The advantage of using bitcoin lies in its decentralization and other benefits such as peer-to-peer transactions. The benefits of bitcoin can depend from an asset point of view or a currency point of view.

It’s not an easy thing where I live because people are not used to all these technology ways of making payment, unless you’re buying stuffs online. Even online stores don’t accept Bitcoin, they accept your MasterCard card which is linked to your bank account as payment method and no other way. Then when you go to local stores to buy things you need you will have to be paying with cash, because none of those sellers are ready to wait for you while wasting their time with online payment, all they want is you giving them cash.

There are things I don’t buy online, which I have to purchase by going to one of these local stores, which means I still have to use cash. It’s really not easy where I live, I don’t know for other countries.

Bitcoin is indeed became important in my life, more than it did before, during this outbreak of pandemic.
During this time, many has been lay off their regular paying jobs and remote work system is not always available.
It did not only became a source of income but also a source of hope to many who are struggling in this times.

Bitcoin has helped me and my family a lot in the ongoing epidemic. Many have lost their jobs and become unemployed in the epidemic, but those of us involved in cryptocurrency have earned a lot of cryptocurrencies, including a lot of bitcoins, by working on many projects at home; With which I am able to run the family comfortably. My daughter is taking online classes and exams at school because of the epidemic; I bought a mobile for my girls by selling my bitcoin for the purpose of participating in their class exams. Overall, I think Bitcoin is playing an important role in the ongoing epidemic.

Bitcoin protect us from virus? cashless payment like centralized digital wallet or even internet/mobile banking app can handle your daily micro transactions.
IMHO, the importance of Bitcoin during the pandemic is to convert your assets into a digital form.
People want to protect their money from inflation and global recession.
However, the speculation factor cant be ignored in here.

Why would you tell someone to rely on bitcoin during this trying times of all of us? I mean bitcoin can be profitable, yes, but it is not guaranteed to provide money for you tho. Bitcoin is there to get you profit as much as it increases, but the case is, it is not always happening with bitcoin. I think you just got lucky because you got your scammed money back, however we have different paths in here, maybe it worked for you but not for the others. But then again, you should not be just a wishful thinker because bitcoin is volatile, you might just get caught in the middle of nowhere but loss.

I bet both of you was able to ride the bitcoin in 2017 where it skyrocketed, I also get a huge profit at that time and I must say that was really really unexpected for all us.

If we talk about the role of Bitcoin during the pandemic, it is quite important. Imagine the speed with which the virus spreads through
this physical contact it is the concern of all of us, it is very risky to be infected if we make transactions using paper money. And Bitcoin
can deliver a safe solution related to financial transactions, because transactions using Bitcoin are done digitally, so there will be no
physical contact. And also Bitcoin can be an instrument of financial transactions between countries at a low cost in a pandemic situation
like now, so if we want to provide assistance to family or friends from different countries Bitcoin is the best solution.

That is a different thing.

I am talking about the transactions that are happening these pandemic and it matters since that is why I replied like this because this is not actually happening. As a proof, your cousin might not be using Bitcoin but just the fiat he can get from selling it or converting it to fiat. Yes he is using it but I am talking how people are actually using Bitcoin in this pandemic to pay and they are still few.

yes at least not too much of a burden on our government to pay for our lives, being a self-conscious society so I think bitcoin will be an alternative where people work on the internet and get those payments easily, because we still continue to keep safe compliance with health protocols to work in home and not doing too much activity out there

Not only those who works in internet but also to use as payment method,in my place we can easily buy Bitcoin using fiat just Load up to local wallet and convert to Bitcoin or 4 major cryptos.
In what way you are gaining Bitcoin in this forum?Bounty Hunting?does Hunting still profitable?

anyway Good for you that there are profit coming in this pandemic thru this forum.

I think that this epidemic should be exploited in order to increase the use of digital currencies by people instead of securities because this reduces the spread of the virus among people, so we must follow payment and purchase by digital currencies with people, companies and sites that accept these methods to reduce the spread of the virus

Even before the Pandemic strikes the world, Bitcoins importance to people who knew its value and trust its usage is incomparable. The good thing is,  it is more useful now not just for online payments and securing funds but most of all, a great platform to work, earn and invest. As you had been said, thousands of people losts their jobs, and yes, bitcoin industry can really help us sustain our needs in ways that we couldn't imagine. We just need to be patient as we work along and trust this blockchain industry.

How can bitcoin help people who lost their jobs during the global pandemic? To earn on cryptocurrency, you need to stay in this area for at least a year to understand how it works and how you can earn it. Rather, people will thoughtlessly start buying and selling bitcoin and lose their last savings.

That is just simple, so simple and you don't need to stay here for a year to understand it. You put your money in your wallet, maybe a local exchange just like ours, coins.ph and then when the price pumps, you take it out, when the price drops, you reinvest. Everyone can do it that even my cousin which is doing that for almost a month now is earning enough to sustain their family. I don't understand how hard is this?

I could say, Bitcoin is very important nowadays especially in the third world country like where im at right now..Recessions are everywhere, many people and families complaining where they can get their source of living to sustain their daily essential needs. They don't have money to buy their foods and medicines. They depends on the assistance from the government..This is what makes the country's situation worst..we are currently in pandemic and most of the people..depends and complaints in any one that they can blame..instead of thinking and doing something good that might help to provide their needs..I know that bitcoin has been  popular in the previous years..weve heard all over the news in all over the world...But people just heard it..they want to earn something good but they didnt want to try..Actually I started in bitcoin without nothing..I didnt invest any amount (ofcourse aside from my load to support my data needs but thats given since im using social media and other website..instead of spending my data in non profitable sites, why not use it in sites where i can earn?) so I have heard of it from a family acquaintance and got interested..i got hooked with how much he's earning every month where he stays at home and monitoring and working on his phone..so I asked him to teach me and my husband..though were not that techy we tried everything to learn and understand it (though we dont know how can we earn from it ) then our mentor said that you have to be patience in doing this but assures that in the end we will earn...we worked in bitcointalk by joining bounties..we joined for about more than 10 bounties in 3 months.. we knew the great moderators that dont scam and really pays (actually were always looking for their projects so we can join) and our first earnings (me and my husband) for 3 to 6 months were  almost P16,000 pesos (thats our side lines aside from our regular jobs) I was so happy because I was doing bitcoin during my free time and could'nt believe that I can earn money by doing this online.. (you might ask what happens to other projects? well, we all know not all projects pays valuable tokens..most of them or just tokens even though you have to wait for longer it doesnt listed in the exchange sites..) thats what we learn you have to work hard if you want to earn here..but the good thing is your working at home..safe from going outside and be infected by the pandemic and that will also helps the community to lessen the infected because your staying at home at the same time you're earning enough for your family's needs.

we know that bitcoin is an online currency.Covid 19 is undoubtedly  a pandemic for the world And here bitcoin  plays an importamt role of transaction,earning and be safe from covid 19.
Examples:
Many people lost their jobs because of this virus,most of the people are staying at home for safety so the economical condition is being down.But with bitcoin we can earn and fulfill our needs and able to make our economy higher.

Economy won't be higher by earning some pocket-money, you should have work that give you enough money to fulfill your needs and that of your family and also leaving some savings for rainy days. If you are having an online business then only you would have survived the lock-down while earning lots of money, other than that all other people would have suffered a great deal during lock-down to make the ends meet. For earning good and sustainable income, either you have to be a great influencer online or having a website gathering almost 100k views on monthly basis or either be a developer, other than that there isn't any way to earn sustainable income with cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin is an alternative money aside from our currency. And no, it is not all about buying and selling bitcoin. There are many ways to earn it and you should look out for that. It only takes a few months to learn about cryptocurrency.

It is not that hard for a person that is willing to learn and earn.

one of bitcoin's positive uses is for this. because maybe with this pandemic, governments around the world can think about using digital money so that it can be used in the future in any situation

This pandemic highlighted a lot of things. One of these things is the every increasing importance of Bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies. But most of all, the importance of blockchain technology itself.

In my country the government institutions that we should rely on in this time of pandemic are collapsing because of the inherit corruption because of the lack of proper technology. Our healthcare system are giving subsidy to Covid 19 patients. But the system are being gamed by nefarious entities. For example, they are recording patients who are not Covid 19 positive, like people who died from car accidents, or those who have other illnesses as Covid patients. So that they can collect the huge subsidy of the government to the Covid 19 patients. Another one are the subsidies to people who are in lockdown. Of course a lot of people were removed from their jobs and needed subsidies from the government. However, again some LGUs or local government unit people are gaming the system. They are registering nonexistent residents, so they can collect those themselves.

All that I am saying is that, if all these are in the blockchain. WHich is the underlying technology of bitcoin. Bitcoin is just exhibit A of what the blockchain technology can do. THen we can avoid those corrupt practices because the blockchain is transparent.

I hope that we can transition in a government where we use blockchain to avoid corruption.

During pandemic people turned even more to internet and new technologies, probably to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency es too. Although, I don't think there are some official numbers about it.
The attitude of people and especially governments is changing towards Bitcoin and that is good but the whole process of acceptance is still far from over. However, the truth is that pandemic speed up the process.

I agree with you.
Bitcoin is a place of love. Because of this in this pandemic situation, we are earning fairly, transactions are robust. Bitcoin does not stop where governments are stricken to stop everything. I am personally benefiting as a student because I support my family with my pocket money. The subsidy of Bitcoin truly is undeniable at this period.

Indeed, bitcoin has proved its resilience to a crisis like the pandemic, which has also shown the fragility of fiat currency as its value continues to drop. But be careful because it's during desperate situations where scammers are most active. You have to be careful who you trade with, sell to, or lend to. It would be best to keep holding on to your coins for a little bit longer since the uptrend hasn't changed yet.

As the crypto market is much associated with the technology and the same being manipulative there is more chance of market crash during the pandemic. The reality happened in the opposite manner, and this made every bitcoin user benefit during the pandemic. Understanding this more new people have begun to start investing on bitcoin. In simple bitcoin has served as a life saver to most of the bitcoiners.

Not only Bitcoin, but crypto in general made lots of people to be interested more deeply in digital world, in Blockchain, in lots of opportunities they give for those people who stay at home because of any reason, or have to because of the quarantine, or may be it was their desire to change something in their lives and go into some other direction like online money making, investing or even trading. And this situation showed that crypto and BTC have lots of positive sides and preferences comparing with jobs in offices.

And with regards to that, the DeFi hype is taking the crypto by storm.
So people should really be extra careful in touching these projects.

But on the other note, bitcoin keeps on surviving even with this pandemic crisis.
And it shows to the world, the benefits of using cryptocurrency as payment method.
And now, let's hope that more people will adopt the world of crypto and also merchants that will add crypto in their payment system.

There are many importance of BTC during the pandemic.
In this situation the first and foremost way of protect ourselves is stay home and work from home those who can.So BTC helps people to stay home and work in online and buy some to thing,pay for it through using it.The most
Important thing that I think, it's make an attachment,involvement and practise in online work that's
Make efficient manpower and people should know and like this way of use digital currency.

This pandemic doesn't brought drought to each and everyone finances but this hurdle of the world economic brought also people much closer to the possibility of welcoming cryptocurrency in their lives. I am lucky enough that i have been known this crypto before i am getting too late. This pandemic also affects the market values of cryptocurrencies fluctuations, dumped of prices but in counterpart of it it makes cryptocurrencies known by so many people and attract a lot investors.

Honestly speaking, it's hard to find a work that is related to cryptocurrency unless you are in here who are joining different campaigns to earn money, and besides, this can't be called a job.

Well, cryptocurrency really helps me during the pandemic because the rise of cryptocurrency is very unexpected. On that part, it serves great importance that we multiplied our money through it and saves us to endure the situation we are facing.

I think it depends, because not everyone will easily earn with bitcoin other than that, those who work from home during this pandemic will at least still get paid by way of transfer, of course they will still use fiat for their income. For that reason, I think bitcoin will remain in its own portion, because even though many people currently work from home it doesn't guarantee they will immediately trade or invest in the cryptocurrency market, because this era is a digital era that I think banks and institutions and / or other companies have provided convenience with digital systems.

But working remotely from home, you will get not bitcoins but currency... I do not think that bitcoin can help ordinary people during a pandemic... It can help those who know how to trade on the exchange or those who have many bitcoins!

Same, I don't even see why the connection of bitcoin during the pandemic honestly. Just like what I've said before, people during these times are relying to online fiat banks. I'm into bitcoin but I never use it during my transfers while at home. We always choose what is efficient and because we lack adoption, online fiat is the efficient one for everyday use.

We can't also say that if someone is unemployed, he can get in to bitcoin right away, he should have a viable reason, and a high percentage of really earning. Cause what they need is a solid chance of earning, and they can't really get it here right away. We are lucky cause we have signature campaigns, but this will be not profitable for them as a job.

I agree, most of the people are not aware of what bitcoin is. The importance of bitcoin during this pandemic depends upon the cryptocurrency users. Non-cryptocurrency users may have a hard time in learning the how's of cryptocurrency. They can't just invest their money without proper knowledge hoping that it will return bigger. Another is I am not saying that bitcoin can't help these people but there's still a fiat money that can help us if we choose to work online though earning through bitcoins can be a great alternative source of income.

There are many topics related with this thread, it seems like this pandemic has brought so many people active on cryptocurrency because of being jobless of many people nowadays and for them to still earned and have money to sustain their needs and wants, they still need to work and the best way for us to earn as of this day is through online, which we can see on cryptocurrency. There are many ways to earn in the crypto world.

Things could be risky for every beginner, before they try some of each they should have good knowledge first.

Bitcoin has helped really during this pandemic, particularly for installments over the fringes, and furthermore for other online installment. Individuals will experience such a trick on the off chance that they are an excess of insatiable with having any examination or exploration before putting away their cash simply like what occurred on Twitter defrauded. Digital currency Industry can be truly helpful since it can go about as another wellspring of money related help.

Bitcoin played a role in investors wallet during the pandemic. During that period there was a constant rise in bitcoin value. And more people acquired enough coin which added value to their assets. Although they have been a recent fluctuation in price ratio lately nevertheless investment is only meant 4 the brave in heart and only opened to a many who sees risk as an opportunity. The pandemic was a big plus to many

Those days are really frustrating, because the beginning days of pandemic was enjoyable as cash flow is good. Later when different types of lockdown got enforced, the money flow got low and the race for Life started. This is where I got into gamble, and the initial days were good. I wasn't able to keep up the win, and later somehow managed to move forward and the campaign earning played its role during the pandemic.

We know what the Bitcoin is. So it is not needed to elaborate on this. If you want to know the importance then it can be said that the market value is getting bigger. Just take a look at Coinmarketcap. People are engaging in crypto during the pandemic because they can not do any physical activity of doing the job in the office. So people are investing in crypto to make a profit. That is the actual thing of Bitcoin and another cryptocurrency that there has a huge chance of getting profit in a short period, just need to know the tricks.

The pandemic has changed the lifestyle of all people in the world, how to socialize and also economic activities, one of which is the spread of the virus through Fiat is very vulnerable, this is one of the reasons digital transactions are very important, especially during a pandemic, and sooner or later people will realize that transactions using cryptocurrency very important.

But I don't agree if you are looking for a job in cryptocurrency, if you don't have special skills about cryptocurrency or about IT it is very difficult to find a main job, while airdrops and bounty are only side jobs, so it can't be an option as your main job.

During a global pandemic like today people spend more time at home than roaming in the streets.
I believe bitcoin can help many people who lose their jobs or have no income try to glance their fortune from bitcoin,
because they have no choice except to stay at home and try to invest, this option will be more safer
