GLOBAL PANDEMIC - BLESSING IN DISGUISE

[stompix]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


Look at this site  the worlds population is still growing

https://www.worldometers.info/


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

This is hardly a blessing. Of course, this situation can help bitcoin become more popular, but there is still a lot more negative.

We already have the answer as to how BitCoin will react to its first major crisis, its PRICE CRASHED  

Hard Facts

[Stedsm]

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

Those who are ignoring cryptocurrency before, finds a time now and got suddenly interested in this field. Since most of us here affected by lockdown, people are trying to find other way to earn even at home for sidelines to still buy some needs. Now is the time for them to learn how this cryptocurrency works and know how can be this thing advantageous to their situation.

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

It is a disaster for many of us but we should also look in the brighter sides. It is true that many lives are on the line but we should appreciate the blessing even though we are in the quarantine. We have now time for ourselves, we have now more time with our loves ones. There are also many things to do in quarantine. We can improve our mindset, mentality and also our intelligence by studying and reading different information sources while we are in quarantine. But still, the pandemic is a threat in every economy and in every human that is why we should always be careful.

I agree that it have it's bright side but we couldn't change the fact that it is a disaster so I would agree with Yatsan here we shouldn't call it blessing since we lose too much lives and so many more are still in danger.
No matter how we look at it there are so many casualties and so many people who would never be able to see their love ones again.
So we shouldn't be so insensitive about this topic because as some of us see it as a blessing there are some who are longing for their love ones be it a deceased or those who are still at the hospital fighting for their life.

Hard Facts

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

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

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

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

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

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

[rexxarofmoknathal]

Bitcoin was built for exactly this scenario.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Well you're right about that. There are countries where the government never cared about the health system, all because they know that they have the money to travel out to better countries where there are good health systems and leave the poor people to suffer.

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

[kogozer714]

Don't you think that, after dark, the light rises, many will lose this pandemic. And they will start from the beginning. yes, a world without cash is coming soon but that won't make you happy with this situation

[LogitechMouse]

Things that we gave little attention to like regular washing of hand, the use of sanitizers and social distancing is now a must.

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

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

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

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

[radjie]

Sorry the premature deaths of hundreds of thousands, is not a good thing, no matter how you spin it.

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

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

[Onuohakk]

Anything good or bad that happens to humanity has particularly set of people it favors. This covid19 originated from somewhere, before it starts to spread periodically. It quite unfortunate that it turns out this way but those the created it has a stupid plan of creating a big havoc into the world, whereby weakening countries economy, gaining grounds with the millions of dollars they will make through the relief materials they'll sell out in course of finding the cure of the pandemic.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

The most important thing is when everything calms down the  world is going to view the digital currency in a different spectacle which cryptocurency is going to be a great beneficiary.

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

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

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

Currently going this is global epidemic COVID-19 and it’s never blessing for our countries. Because we have spent hard times specially neddy people’s are suffering difficult time. In the whole world two core people’s can be lose their jobs in the upcoming days it’s predict some world organisation. We can't recover this pandemic in short term. It’s affected our life style. People’s could not go out of the home due to lockdown.
