Bitcoin can save some people's lives :->

[AdoboCandies]

That's right there are many lives that is saved by bitcoin. there are donation sites that will go through different charities that will be truly helpful to others, and online payments is one of it's pros like in wuhan china, there are a huge risk to acquire the disease by touching the money that has been exposed to the virus, and i also watched that there are some scumbags that are intentionally spreading the disease by spitting everywhere, like in the groceries, the buttons of the elevator, there are special place in hell for them.

I watched a Youtube video last night about the food merchants in some of the markets in Wuhan <China> and I noticed that most of them are using electronic payment methods to pay for goods. < Wechat Pay >

Ok, it is not Bitcoin, but if more merchants using Fiat currency can switch over to Bitcoin, you might see less infections. The reason for this is simple, because the Corona virus can be transmitted from person to person via cash being used on a daily basis.

People can also do online payments with Bitcoin to avoid handling physical cash and thus avoiding infection. It can also prevent people from being infected from a host of other viruses and bacteria that can survive for days on physical coins and notes.

This is just one more reason for people to move away from physical payment methods and shifting to a cash-less financial system in the future. 

This has a point, maybe fiat currency was very prone to viruses and infections that is why online payment was booming. Aside from fast transactions we can encorporate our crypto to it making us more free to pay in digital currency or in crypto currency. it is happening today big companies are starting to accept crypto as a form of payment and thia waa a good sign for crypto ecosystem.

You have a point here,  maybe in the future this suggestion can be used it will keep people safe from transmissions of any viral diseases because this is not going to be the first one that is going to happen, many new virus that are more viral and contagious that could come out in the future and this is a good options to trade commodities and cash.

You do know that it is not every location that will be making use of online payment. There are places that might be too local and not accepting such types of payment.

Just like in my country, you will only be able to make use of advanced payment like debit cards, mobile banking and others in big cities only. That’s where you will see big supermarkets and fast foods and the rest of them that allows you to make payment using your debit cards, mobile transfer or even PayPal (people don’t use Bitcoin yet). But in local places, nobody is ready for such, they will only accept cash from you and nothing else.

[verita1]

I can tell you that with BTCitcoin I make my purchases through the points of sale in supermarkets and I do it after I exchanged them to Fiat. Literally! I imagine that it works with most of our community.
I think that the day we can pay freely with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are near. The idea is good that Bitcoin can save some lives in relation to the Chinese community that is fighting with the Coronavirus.

[ballerin and giroud]

I think this should be make as an attention for thosw people in wuhan. I heard some news also that there is people who wash the money because he is affraid will be exposed by corona virus. I think bitcoin and another altcoin can be use as payment system at this time. The government shouldn't be limited the utilization of payment system tool, at least this thing will help some people there. Also, I just hope that this virus is not spread to all country, I heard a few days ago that this virus has came to Europe i.e Italy.

This is actually a good idea because with all the realizations from the present virus, people are now in extra careful and cautious in prioritizing their health. Electronic payment is advantageous since it is less hassle especially for busy people, saves time and effort, and most of all, can reduce the risk of being exposed to viruses which can be transmitted from object to person.

This will result however in putting pressure in banks or any payment system to accept crypto especially in small-scale businesses. I also think that if this is the case for China, then, the use of crypto can decline if the reason for its use is gone (when the virus is completely gone). But if the people learned from that experience, then little by little, the emergence of bitcoin will continue as long as it will be carefully monitored and observed.

actually not only bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies because there are other online payments that can be used.
the only advantage of Bitcoin is the volatility in which the value may increase in future.

I've been using cashless transactions lately and it is very convenient. I just worry sometimes that the system might fail so I won't be able to purchase anything, LOL! Anyway, I think cashless transactions really helps to avoid or prevent viruses from spreading so it is a great advantage if everyone uses cashless transactions and it will be better is Bitcoin is really one of the options.

things may happen of course because this is only internet based and trouble might come in instance but at least it can be fixed easily and maintenance is more convenient when it comes to computer system than man power.

The world is seriously moving into technology to reduced some stress of carrying physical cash with a high risk, hence in times of china current situation of corona virus that is spread from body contact, i think the best way is to stay at home and make an electronic payment with bitcoin for goods and services delivery at home, with that method, bitcoin has play a good role.

Well this isn't really directly connected to the spread of Corona, but I even see some people here donating Bitcoin to those who needs it like in one of the threads I've read here in reporting users spamming.
The point is we really need people to get into crypto as much as possible before the supply even depletes in case there will be many whales that are gonna arrive, so that it wouldn't just increase the demand of the coin as well as its price but also we can have wider reach to everybody around the globe.

You won't be able to go complete every daily necessities with the crypto payments, that is if you are lucky enough to have those type of payment systems where you live. So in a way this develops more panic about the virus outbreak. Better to stay careful yourself and wait it out than being delusional and devloping more panic about the situation.

Do go out and not stay completely at home during this time unless you are very scared. More people become sick of panic than disease.

I watched a Youtube video last night about the food merchants in some of the markets in Wuhan <China> and I noticed that most of them are using electronic payment methods to pay for goods. < Wechat Pay >

I saw some pictures of the people in China that are using Wechat Pay and guess note, there are also beggars too that are using it instead of coins or bills . Kind of awkward but if that is true then...... I don't know .

Ok, it is not Bitcoin, but if more merchants using Fiat currency can switch over to Bitcoin, you might see less infections. The reason for this is simple, because the Corona virus can be transmitted from person to person via cash being used on a daily basis.

If a community are convenient enough in using a specific thing then they will just stick in using it. In this case, they are using Wechat Pay and Bitcoin isn't related there so instead of Bitcoin they will just use Wechat Pay for some reasons like faster speed and lesser fees. If there are merchants who are accepting Bitcoin or other crypto in China then good.

People can also do online payments with Bitcoin to avoid handling physical cash and thus avoiding infection. It can also prevent people from being infected from a host of other viruses and bacteria that can survive for days on physical coins and notes.

At this moment, fiat currency such as bills and coins can be a great transmitter of virus right now. The host will just cough the coin or bill in a secret place then will give it to other people so using E-payment right now that they are facing a huge problem is a good move to lessen the transmission of virus.

[gabbie2010]

I actually see that making purchases online will far more help to reduce the spread of the virus because direct delivery is carried out by the courier to the customer's place, the customer does not need to meet with other people who allow the spread of the virus.
When I read a health article then there is no virus that survives in free air, the spread must be through human to human or animal to human, not from object to human, only bacteria can do that.
https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/bacterial-vs-viral-infection

That is only partialy true. Even when you are buying things online they need to be delivered to you door somehow. A numerous people are included in that process, it's not that only one human is dealing with shipment, so contact with humans is inevitable and you are not fully protected.

I watched a video clip of robot distributing good in wuhan to avoid human to human contact I believed this another way to fight the disease when an online payment is made a robot would deliver the goods as such minimal contact would be made thus a very effective method of contailing or fighting the covid-19 virus.

It is a wise action to atleast lessen contact to other people to prevent spreading of the virus. Because the truth is, it is only applicable in the city or in a limited place. In a province, there are no stores that has online payment or especially bitcoin and in the city there are still some stores who are not accepting online payment.

Tangible money is really one of the reason for the spread of different viruses. Since it is handed down from person to person, it can be the cause of a disease specifically COVID-19 which has that mode of transfer. Aside from that, moving from place to place and buying goods and availing services can expose us to germs and viruses. So, to counter it, electronic payment existed. It is cheaper, less hassle, and more convenient. With the situation in China, this method is very effective because the caution instilled on people could drive them to dive into this method. Tangible money is put aside and e-payments come in. People can soon realize that there is also a cryptocurrency which can also be used as a method for transaction even in the food industry and others. The disadvantage here is that, if the virus is gone and of course, tangible money cannot be totally neglected, there would be less attention on electronic payments and moreover on Bitcoin. I say, the bank cannot let this situation go because they would be very much affected. So only time and the application of Bitcoin will tell how the world can adapt to crisis such as COVID-19 with cryptocurrency.

depends on the country  . there are country that ban btc and cryptos were you cannot totally use or have access to them but if a country allow cryptos  , you can alway find a store that accept cryptos wether your living on a province or on a city .

 i am living on a province now  but there are store here that are crypto friendly   but i prefer to transact online because of the virus scare now  . on our place people are also scare to go out and people are now wearing masks just to avoid possible infection   .

[carriebee]

Cash and other forms of payment can be harm to our health this is because germs and viruses can be transmitted using the cash that circulating. That's why much better now to use digital currency or crypto currency because we don't need to have actually contact in payment and also we dont need to go out to pay our bills because we can also use crypto currency to pay our bills like internet, electricity, and water bills.

This is why we can use online payment for the meantime since as been said corona virus is really spreading even in paper bills has it's virus. Also by having this payment system online it helps us to ease time, less hassle and fast transaction. Yes this is the best way to use payment online and bitcoin could help people lives through these kind of system.

[GideonGono]

In my opinion, fiat has its cashless payments too don’t you think? I think that Bitcoin being able to lessen the transmission of diseases is not that significant. I would try to think it on the other way. For instance you and some person you travelled along with to a foreign country would seek medical help but the cash you have in hand were limited to the local currency you had brought were commonly you didn’t convert that much to cover the said expenses then Bitcoin might just be a thing. Though there are also other possible scenarios which you can use Bitcoin like the previous example that I had given.

Well its one of the advantage on such innovation when it comes to e-transactions but im not really that expecting much for bitcoin to have place
yet e-fiat transactions been already happening it isnt just been focused nor utilized into market and yet people would simply still stick to traditional
paper or fiat transactions and for now stopping or making people switch to e-payments would still be debatable unless if it would be strictly implemented
by the government on such place or country then it would be nice to have.

[Kensyin]

But because my country doesn't allow bitcoin as payment, I use digital transactions like that
mobile banking and internet banking to buy all my necessities of life. No doubt, that's what happened, other than that the effects of the epidemic have caused the market for some people who use bitcoin as a hedge, very similar to gold, even Bitcoin if it can save every life when, because this is instant money that can be used from anywhere in the world, the problem is a world-class virus, the numbers handled by the news are not real, I think the real numbers are surprising, the Bitcoin market is happening is seen with more volume, Small people's investment can be reflected every day. At first, I also thought that this was too much that this coronavirus could survive on paper money, so I did a little research.
