I guess this depends per country to country, some countries does not have good adoption with crypto, so crypto can't help them and I don't expect they'll try to educate themselves during this pandemic we are experiencing now. People in developed countries, maybe this would really help them since bitcoin has good liquidity and they can exchange their fiat to bitcoin (vice versa). Exchanges who are adding fiat gateway gives convenience to users too. Will see, at this time, it's also good to invest and hold bitcoin, who knows the demand will significantly increase. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Well, I wouldn't agree with you. People would rather have their money as fiat funds than in bitcoin at the period of Global pandemic , because there's not limitation to fiat transactions unlike cryptocurrency. People, especially those in counties with total economic lock down need as possible their money easily assessed.
This paper currency is much more prefered to use by many people than online payment. For example here in my country all do more people know and adopt crypto currency there are only few or sometime no department store accept crypto as mode of payment . How will you buy things food that you need using crypto/ bitcoin if they dont want to accept it as payments.

People will prefer the convenience of using fiat because they can easily used it as a payment method to provide their needs. Bitcoin may be beneficial, but we can't change the fact that some people aren't even aware that a digital currency existed. The virus can be easily transmitted through contact with infected person and bitcoin may help to stop spreading of the said virus, but people will surely choose the currency they grow up with and the currency that will help them purchase goods and services on different stores.

I do not think people will be interested in using BTC instead of Fiat. Fiat has more acceptance than BTC around the globe and in crisis situation people tend to keep fiat handy.
Almost all fiat currency can be traced digitally, therefore I do not see the use of Bitcoin in such a situation. In my country we generally use mobile wallets that are connected to our bank account at local stores.

Well, as COVID-19 has no cured yet, many people are afraid of going outside just to do some transactions in real life, they are afraid of purchasing some goods and stuffs because of being afraid to be attached from other people, so they are also afraid of using fiat currency so the best option that they can use is the cryptocurrency, but the problem is some countries do not still accept bitcoins and different cryptocurrency in their land so they can't still use it, I hope that this situation will be a lesson fro everyone especially to the officials that they should really accept the bitcoin because it can be alternative to fiat currency when some crisis happens again.
- You are seriousizing this issue, although people are very worried about the virus problem and restricting movement outside, but in general, buying some goods is very normal, they always have disinfection measures before using, acceptance for bitcoin is not necessary right now. Besides, if people do not want to move out, using payment via internet banking can still use, it is even more convenient than bitcoin many times when this is a service under government control while bitcoin as you say, the government still considers it to be unreliable to the people

Lockdown is a great time to teach what bitcoin is to someone who closes to you. They have more time to understand what exactly bitcoin and how the function. I have doing it right now, send them an image about bitcoin and if they have more interest I'll call them and give them an article about bitcoin and thus far it still going work. Actually, my final intention is not they use bitcoin as payment system for the first time, but I tried to teach them how benefit from bitcoin if they have it. And yeah they are interested, especilly with this current situation they need a side income and I'm tryin' to introduce about trading too.

One of the ways to pass the virus is by making a physical contact to a infected person or passing the things that has been touch by an infected person, that is why using and having bitcoin is the best solution to avoid the virus because you can make a trasaction without touching or having a physical contact to any individual, so i hope that the government would realize that using crypto can help.

we can see data in real-time from this site about Covid-19 Virus (Corona) which is currently serving almost all over the world ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FJ4GF1DH.png&t=665&c=k4-Jg0yZQZckYw) source: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/many effects that occur due to the spread of the virus that until now there has been no cure (report from WHO), not only deaths and economic changes have occurred due to the spread of this virus, but also many others; 1. Kab'ah emptythis is one of the extraordinary effects because we know that the Kab'ah is never empty by worshipers who want to worship (even during renovations). 2. Prices of spare parts (electronic devices & vehicles) are risingChina is famous for its counterfeit goods (KW) and cheapness, as a result of the spread of this virus many countries have shut down (export-import) to or from China. 3. the appearance of strange greetings "Leg Shaking"many people and even state officials are afraid to touch hands (shaking hands) so they do "Leg Shaking" to still be able to maintain intimacy and avoid contracting the coronavirus. there are many more effects that occur and I can not explain one by one here (because it must be too long) ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) if everyone is afraid to touch each other, are they not afraid of fiat money when they trade because the virus can spread through paper money (drooling or sweating)?? This is the time we really use Bitcoin and CryptoCurrency as a means of exchange because we are physically not in contact with other people so we avoid contracting the Covid-19 virus (Corona). I hope the governments of countries around the world can think about this and even campaign it in their respective countries (doing transactions with digital money, cryptocurrency and not with paper money)If virus can really be transmitted via fiat money then we need to stay away from it as long as the virus is still there especially if there are no cure yet. Digital assets will be the best solution for, crypto is already there and any of the governments can temporarily use it in order to at least lessen the virus effect in their respective countries. China, Iran and South Korea should make a bold move right now if they want to fight the virus. Once the virus will be eliminated then they can just use their fiat immediately but right now bitcoin and other digital assets will be the right option to choose for them. Probably it is! Fiat money are the no.1 for being most used thing here in the world because it comes from a lot of people, from one person to another from time to time. We never know if someone who is infected touched the money that you have now so it is better to be safe. This is right time where we can improve the true advantages and definition of bitcoin. Bitcoin can do a lot to the community, economy, and our living besides as a mode of payment and transactions. It can also help a lot of people who are in need during this Corona outbreak. You can send donations to those legit fundraisers who are really willing to help people to sustain their health and support their necessities. Also before doing that, be careful of sending bitcoin during transactions to prevent losses. It is also one step for promoting the bitcoin and increase its mass adoption.

Right, after many attempts made such as quarantine, social distancing, etc., but they still allow their citizens to leave the house if it is really necessary to buy food and other necessities which in reality they still touch an item from another individual, if the government applies payment using crypto then efforts to avoid any virus will be more effective. But whatever has been attempted, hopefully it can run well and hopefully everything will return to normal as it should.

Because corona is contagious virus that's why it's too much possible to spreading if we use money (paper note) in our daily life. That's why doctors says to wash hand properly if someone use money in some cases. And in that case of course Bitcoin is a solution for transactions. Cause you don't have to use your hand to touch bitcoin when you need it. Government should attention on this point and i think after all things done, bitcoin will be accepted in many country besides of fiat money. Thanks for the source by the way. Hope it shows right update.

You need to understand what kind of country in question. In different parts of the world, bitcoin has a different development and a different degree of influence on the economy. For example, in the USA, during self-isolation, bitcoin will be a good way to pay for remote purchases, and accordingly its price will increase.

How will you buy things food that you need using crypto/ bitcoin if they dont want to accept it as payments. Well, paper money ain't safe from a country that records thousands of infected people. This paper money might have been in contact with an infected person and pass it from one person to another. The other alternative would be using credit and debit cards for safety purposes. Bitcoin has not been widely accepted from most of the merchants and stores, so I guess using Bitcoin as a mod of payment isn't applicable to all of the countries, specially the third world country who only have a handful of businesses that accepts Bitcoin.

Coronavirus is spreading all over the world very quickly. It is very Infectious Diseases and our government also warned that coronavirus can spread through money. Coronavirus can alive on paper for a few hours. So Bitcoin is a solution for transactions but it can not apply overnight. People who do not have any knowledge about Bitcoin, we can learn them about bitcoin and encourage them to use it. The people who have used bitcoin, they use bitcoin for their daily purpose and avoid to use normal currency to prevent coronavirus.

Had been my problem since I knew about this virus. How am I going to prevent myself from touching people or touching what they have already touched.
Specially when you are going to the grocery. There ain't much problem with that since you could use other options which they could just scan something for the payment. The other problem is when you are buying with small merchants. They don't have any payment option but just cash. So you will pay with it and then they will give you a change. Of course you are going to touch that. I have been freaked out by all of this. Using alcohol like every 5 minutes to disinfect. I almost bathe with alcohol when I got home. Something must be changed. Cashless society maybe. If it ain't bitcoin then use something else.

How different businesses are operating within the economy of cryptocurrency in the spread of a coronavirus is relevant in many cases for various reasons. As the traditional securities market has been hit hard by the coronavirus, the value of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is relatively high, though the market has declined overall.

Not to argue the use of bitcoin, say a solution to solve to prevent being infected by covid-19 using cash, but more people keep using online banking already through their mobile banking apps and some digital wallets (Gcash, Paymaya) here in my place rather than bitcoin itself, but of course, there are some, like me using it, especially paying bills, online shopping, etc.
It is possible to use these digital payment methods but not everyone is able to use this kind of technology due to some reasons like those people who are poorest of the poor that does not have the ability to own a smartphone for these kinds of transactions. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/who-we-did-not-say-that-cash-was-transmitting-coronavirus-2020-03-06Cash is such an insignificant vector for the spread of this (or any other) disease, there's no need to panic about it, just was your hands after handling cash and you will be fine. We won't see any big increase in BTC adoption because of the virus, people will use credit cards more if they'll have to, but otherwise everyone will keep using cash. And you overestimate how much regular people care about this virus, most people in the world don't even wash their hands as much as they should. I don't think that there is a connection between the virus and Crypto Currency mass adoption. Nah, people these days never wash their hands significantly but with this epidemic, people are learning again that they need to wash their hands regularly to prevent the virus from spreading.

The spread of the corona virus is very fast, makes me think that bitcoin can be a solution to financial transactions that occur. Bitcoin is very good to be able to avoid the corona virus, because by using bitcoin there is no need for physical contact. So many bitcoin users will use bitcoin for financial transactions. If true bitcoin can be realized as a payment it is better to use it immediately for financial transactions.

In most cases where physical fiat is not the first option to use, alternatives like bitcoin mostly being discuss. If people realized and start to use and allow this system to function as how it's being created then we can say that bitcoin is really a good deal to transacts. Financial market should act and allow this currency to work alongside with other digital money and take the very use of this chain.
