Bitcoin reduces unemployment

[kpcian]

Of course..
With the help of bitcoin, many unemployed people have found an opportunity to get involved in a work.so they can earn money from the bitcoin. It's really a good platform of getting employed. So you can say that the bitcoin is a blessing for unemployed people.

[BitFinnese]

I think in the presence of bitcoin will reduce unemployment, because searching for bitcoin also requires hard work and creativity, and competitiveness in bitcoin is also high almost similar to work in the real world

What is your opinion this time?

I don't think so. Bitcoin doesn't help in making people get emplyed since it only gives an opportunity for people to get only extra earnings. However, there are many opportunities here in crypto currency which can be considered as job but it's still can not be conaidered as emplyment.

Then how can you define them?

em·ploy·ment
əmˈploimənt/Submit
noun
the condition of having paid work.
"a fall in the numbers in full-time employment"
synonyms:   work, service, labor; More
a person's trade or profession.
plural noun: employments
synonyms:   work, service, labor; More
the action of giving work to someone.
"the employment of a full-time tutor"
synonyms:   hiring, hire, engagement, taking on; apprenticing
"the employment of children"

Does the things you stated does not fall under the definition of employment?  Aside from the signature campaign where majority of us here are familiar with, there are other jobs or paid in bitcoin work that were offer on the internet.  May it be a main job or a side job, the fact that we are working to get paid is an employment.  Then if you are unemployed and got job from a person who then paid you in bitcoin, does this not mean you are employed by that person?  Then if you are employed no matter how long or how short it is, you are now then one of the employed and not unemployed anymore, reducing the number of unemployed people by 1.  Then do that to the number of participant in different bounty campaigns here.  And tell me bitcoin does not help to reduce unemployement.

You know what else it reduces? poverty, seriously I can see thousands of poor people sh*tposting over and over and getting paid for it.
Did you know every $1M dollar could potentially create 100 jobs directly and indirectly?
Could you calculate how many jobs a minimum of $30B dollars potential marketcap could create?
Around 3,000,000 yet only a few are actually holding most of the bitcoins, story of human kind greed.

No it doesn't what makes you even say that bitcoin will help fight unemployment, people who are unemployed obviously have very less money so we can't really expect them to purchase 1 btc . Now if you are thinking that government will provide 1 btc to all unemployed then that's a big no. Current status of government is they have enough money for military but no money for the poor

It seems you missed the point of discussion here.  It is not about acquiring BTC but rather bitcoin creating a job for the unemployed.

This somehow summarize the potential job creation bitcoin can create.  With this number, definitely it helps reduce unemployment.  This extent will increase once global adoption is met.  Imagine, there will be lots of bitcoin start-up that will generate jobs for local and international applicant.

It depends on what you mean by unemployment.  Any payment system that makes it easy to get paid without leaving your home will increase the number of people that are earning money.  Paypal was no doubt one of the first sites/businesses that gave many people that, for whatever reason, needed to work at home greater choices and options.  and now bitcoin is serving this purpose.

That does mean that in the technical sense that fewer people were “not employed”.  However, Bitcoin, as well as other payment systems, like Paypal before Bitcoin, did two other things.  The number of online businesses increase and thusly the number of online business owners, and also created income for many that was never reported to any official record keeping service.

In a way yes people were not preoccupied with work but thanks to digital currencies like bitcoin new jobs have been opened up  and part time gigs to earn some money have also been on the raise

Of course new business houses have been opened physically or virtually thanks to a more transparent business environment and owners are motivated to open other business which will result in more employment

What is your opinion this time?

lol what? I don't think we have the same idea of "being employed".

searching for bitcoin also requires hard work and creativity, and competitiveness in bitcoin is also high almost similar to work in the real world

and if you don't have a job you're still unemployed lol

I understand what you wanted to say but it doesn't make much sense tho.

[FomoATH]

The appearance of the Internet reduced unemployment, because it became possible to earn money without leaving home. A bitcoin is more like an investment with which you can earn.

[Angel777]

Yes,I remember about my sister when her husband fired at his work.She's almost sick looking for a job.Instead of domestic helper in middle east she found out about bitcoin and she's imployed,an online job.Earning big salary than employed at companies.So bitcoin is an additoinal kind of job opportunities to those who wants to grab it.

[Betwrong]

That's true because of bitcoins, some of unemployment staffs were reduce. We were thankful to bitcoins because they help many people to have an online job. Also it help the student to have a part time job using bitcoin and they start to stand up with own feet.

All of the above PLUS don't forget workers on big mining farms, constructors who build them, engineers etc. Bitcoin mining is a big industry where thousands of different workers involved.

I disagree with those saying in this thread that Bitcoin does nothing to reduce unemployment.

[bitbunnny]

Maybe in some other countries but not in mine. For that I think Bitcoin should be officiali recogonized by governement. But Bitcoin can in a way encourage selfemployment becuause for some people is the the additional source of income that gradualy became the main one, although in some grey or even black area. On the other hand it is hard to depend only on Bitcoin because of the volatility of price so you could find yourself without sufficient income for living.

None of these things are replacing fiat jobs.  They're just a free market operating to distribute money (denominated in Bitcoin in this case) to people who decide to do work.  That's not creating work, that's just a method of paid advertisement which would have existed in fiat anyway.

I would agree on this point for bitcoin can help people earn around $150 per month in a signature campaign and for developing countries this is a very good salary. I have two jobs and one of them is signature campaign. That allows me to rent a flat and live without really feeling some hardness about money. So, yes, bitcoin can reduce unemployment.

I met an old friend in a restaurant January, 2017. Who happened to be my junior while in the university three years ago. I was surprised when he told me that he has never been invited for a job interview till date. I now asked him, how do you survive then without a paid job? He told me whether I have an idea about bitcoin? And I reply him, no sir. He then explain everything about bitcoin and crypto currency to me, and that he has three  account at legend level. From the three account, the amount of Satoshi he make from signature campaign is not less than FIFTEEN MILLION Satoshi in a month different from the profit he makes from trading crypto currency. And the black market value of Bitcoin in my country is about 50% increase of the international value. I believe bitcoin reduces unemployment.

It does reduces since some unemployed were able to make money and provide their living from btc, same wuth their earning more than a job salary they can earn.

[Cherylstar86]

For now bitcoin earning online through a lot of options you can do with the freedom of financials, it certainly reduced unemployment because the money that comes from bitcoin served as your salary. Even though physical work is not really visible to see with your earning, it really gives you a desire to earn better for the future of your family. In the reduction of unemployment I believed that bitcoin economy through the acquired knowledge of the people having their income from digital currency that support sustainable financial source which is bitcoin.

That is very true because we are one of the proof for that or i can be a proof for that, my elder brother was earning at least $1,000 per month (Worth of US Dollar in our country) and i was making at least $2,000 and that was x2 of my brother's salary and when i try to tell it to him, he was not believing me until i show him my wallet that is receiving bitcoin and he was so shocked and immediately beg me to teach him.

I think it doesn't reduce unemployment a lot... It's a good currency to receive your wage, but ver few people pay salaries to their employees with BTCs. On the internet there are better options of earnings which we can make profit with BTCs, but these options are scarce and worth more on long term if you hold your earnings in BTC for the future. To reduce unemployment we need more jobs, not exactly Bitcoins...
