Current Food Shortage and Economic Decline Caused by Pandemic

[Janation]

What will be the solution for this?
How we can help our government on this current circumstances?

Since the government is having also having a hard time finding a solution we can help by just following the protocols to keep ourselves from getting the virus.

It is good that we can share and give help to other people so in a way you are lessening the burden being carried by the people. This is the time that we should not stop getting normal jobs but trying different ways to earn and taking advantage of the available technologies you can use, for example taking advantage of the internet to earn or maybe help in your job.

Does bitcoin or any digital currency could help?

No, it can't.

It is not someone that could donate or give help to people. Despite people having profited from it, I don't think it is mainly because of cryptocurrencies or maybe Bitcoin itself since those people are the ones responsible for getting their profits and not directly Bitcoin.

As a matter of fact,we are currently experiencing the result of the Covid-19 pandemic through out the world.
There are so many people who are suffering and because most of the people are now unemployed because of many companies either closed or lessen their workers, the lives of the people getting worst.
      Lack of foods and other personal necessities.
      Lack of finances.
      Lack of transportation because of quarantine.
Those are the major problems we are now still facing while the pandemic continue spreading because there is no cure for this virus until now.

We all should understand that there is not other way around this situation, but work.
We need food so some people got to make food for others. They will get money for their work and they will want to for instance watch a movie or buy new shoes - movie theater/shoe shop will open to get profit and buy food for themselves.
At the end of the day people will risk their health over food

The main solution to solve the problem on the shortage of food and economic declination is of course to have first the vaccine. Why? So that we can freely go outside that is no need to worry about getting infected on which we can do the maximum capacity of work force to work on business establishments, factories and other work offices that are concerned or mainly focuses on food production and other necessities because at this current "new normal" set up, even the establishments are open, still it is just on a 30-50% working capacity although it will somehow help the opening of the world's economy, still it will be on a long process but if the vaccine would be available, then we can fastly recover from the crisis brought by this pandemic.

I cannot see what Bitcoin can directly do on this matter because what we need is literally work force to open up the world's economy. But maybe it can somehow help on providing financial assistance but in need to be converted into fiat right after to support projects concern on economic recovery.

I agree, the government is having a hard time making a solution for this pandemic, the only thing we can do is to follow their safety protocol or if we can help to give at least minimal support to other people in terms of food and water.

That's true, bitcoin can't do anything with the problem we have with the pandemic. It is not always the answer and will never be the answer.

I think it depends on what help you are asking, btc won't do much in the case of stopping the spread of the virus cause majority of the stores doesn't accept it as a payment, fiat online payment is the one being used by the people now. However,  btc will sure help other people who are into btc before the lockdown, some may lose their jobs and btc is all they have for now, so its really a help for them. It may not be a solution for the problems we faced now but its something that helps other people survive this pandemic.

We can plant our own vegetables and fruits in our backyard. With that we do not have to buy it in the market and also, it will be safer for us given that it does not came from other places that may have cases of covid19. As for those who do not have work, we can look for online jobs or anything online that can be a source of extra income. We can also start investing if we have extra money in us, with this we can make profit and atleast earn even just a little.

There’s no shortage of food in the world, but its distribution is the problem. The whole problem is getting it to people, or the people’s capability to buy it. If people in certain positions are unwilling to distribute the food for free, there will be a “food shortage” for people. Today, there’s already tons of food being thrown out because there’s no one buying.

We might reach a state in the world where this will happen. If people are unwilling to help others during this time, especially when more and more jobs are going extinct, never to return again, we’ll face a famine that does not need to happen.

So let’s revert from our ways of only seeing “what I get out of it” and help others during this extreme and uncharted time. That’s the only change that needs to happen in the world today

[finaleshot2016]

It's not us who are the problem, maybe the government is just so slow to implement mass testing? Everyone is cooperating but some are really affected by this pandemic because they are not like us who can manage to live even there's a lockdown for how many weeks. So we can't blame them if they need to work just to survive this current health crisis we are facing. Here in our country, we already cooperated in the recent ECQ or Enhanced community quarantine but the effort of staying at home for how many months became useless. There are too many risky actions from them, so do you think that people are really the ones who are in fault? Incompetence = can't flatten the curve.

Yes, almost all countries experience a pandemic because the government is very slow to deal with it, they must realize that the pandemic really affects the economy and food needed in everyday life.
and besides that a pandemic can endanger many people without knowing anyone and make it difficult for everyone to work and earn a living to survive, even though the government provides assistance but is uneven and not on target because there are still many people who really need it do not get their rights.

I've also done research on what countries that has low counts of COVID-19 cases and didn't expect those countries managed to prevent the increase of cases. Sometimes I'm thinking to live in their country because it's very peaceful and has a very competent government to handle such a pandemic. The number one affected of the government's incompetency is the people who still hope for them to manage the health crisis. It's kinda funny that some of the politicians grab this as an opportunity to steal money from the people. They provided assistance to us but it's not enough and still lacks, some of the funds for the people went to the pocket of those in positions.

It is unlikely that Bitcoin and other decentralized cryptocurrencies can help governments in the fight against the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. After all, this is just a digital cryptocurrency, a financial instrument in the hands of their holders. Cryptocurrencies, since they have their own value in relation to regular currencies, can be directed by their owners to solve any specific economic problems caused by the coronavirus.

The only thing that I can think to be the best solution for this problem is the discovery of the vaccine so that we can totally open up the economy on which business establishments and work places that focuses on food production. But since there is still no vaccine, what we can do now is to follow the "new normal" set up so that we can now somehow open up the economy that is concern on the food production so that there will be no more food shortage. But that will still undergo a process because it is just 30-50% capacity so it will still take time.

With regards to what we can help to the government, both must act as one to resolve the problem and not just rely on the government alone. Both sides must work together to resolve the problem we have right now.

With Bitcoin, I guess it cannot help to resolve the food shortage because what we need is to exert work force of man power effort to produce goods to resolve the food shortage. Bitcoin can do help on funding of projects maybe to support the food production.

[Negotiation]

The economic downturn caused by the current food shortage and epidemic can be overcome very easily by those who invest in bitcoin Bitcoin is decentralized and it is out of anyone's control In the current situation using digital currency Bitcoin will help to improve the economy. However, it will be supported by the government Then the food shortage will come down a bit Food production will increase and the problem will be solved very easily.

[Shasha80]

Food shortages and economic decline are currently experienced by many countries, not only poor countries. Many developed countries also
experienced it, because the pandemic stopped food production and food imports. Especially small companies and home industries are the
most affected. The government's solution must be to open lockdown or quarantine, and also provide financial assistance for capital. We can
help the government by complying health protocol for corona virus prevention. Bitcoin and any digital currency is quite helpful as an alternative
payment, and also helps provide income by trading.

Bitcoin does not help humanity now, people can still use it with a credit card to pay. Nobody needs bitcoin now, they don't even want to invest in it because it's so risky. The solution to this is that the awareness of the people must be raised and always follow the rules to prevent virus infection. if our consciousness is good then the pandemic will soon be under control and the economy will return to normal.

in my opinion bitcoin helps even though many people don't fully understand cryptocurrency. what a lot of crypto communities are raising funds to help victims affected by corona, if you think bitcoin can't help people now it's not right for me. the crypto community's awareness to help ...?
and the government has certainly instructed the community to stay at home, that's for sure, all that's left is for the people to realize their awareness, for many reasons in this condition in the community...

I agree it's unlikely that bitcoin can help governments, but I'm sure it can help citizens who are looking for extra income to find freelancing and small jobs on the internet. This way these citizens will earn crypto currency on the internet and encahange it into fiat later, helping their local economies to rise again. The governments just have to let their citizens do this without difficulting the process or charging abusive taxes over their crypto earnings.

In my country there is no food shortage but if a constant increase in their prices, there are no new jobs and the transport of remittances has not yet been reactivated. We are living against the clock it seems that we have a lot of time to take advantage of and for some people the time is not enough. Of course, the pandemic is showing us an economic decline. Supermarkets are the businesses that have the priority. They open their premises every day until 12 noon.

In relation to Bitcoin, some members think that Bitcoin can help in this time of crisis and I think so. It can be very useful for charitable activities and donations because people can contribute anywhere in the world for a cause.
We should only demonstrate with our example, whether public or private, in any case, its usability.

      Lack of foods and other personal necessities.
      Lack of finances.
      Lack of transportation because of quarantine.

Even though we experienced ECQ for 3 months in the city, I am lucky to say that we did not run out of food because the Government make sure that there will be no lack of foods. In the current time, still under GCQ there are transportation but I say that it is not enough.
Digital currency could help ? I am not sure if this can help the economy directly plus not everybody knows/used bitcoin. It may become source of income of some of us but not for everybody.

[AjithBtc]

Right now there isn't shortage of food in our country, but soon we'll encounter the food shortage issue. The government has been providing food free of cost, and slowly people have begun to cultivate their own food understanding the prevailing situation. The economic collapse is affecting the living condition of middle class people in large scale. Bitcoin doesn't have any role to do with the recovery of the food shortage and economic collapse, because right now none has got cash to make investment.

[SquallLeonhart]

Food shortage is something I will never understand fully. Nowadays we have enough technology that we do not even need place for putting down seeds and farm them. We could basically just grow crops in buildings as well, so if anyone is smart enough to do it, they could optimize the growth process and get +1 more crop than what an old timer farmer could do.

All we need is buildings that are farms that you can put in seeds and grow crops and take them and sell them. That way it would be basically 25% of the cost of actually farming and it would be much faster and you could simply just build 100x more food that way because there is no need for place, farmers need huge places to grow that much food whereas you just need a tall building if you want to go bigger in that situation. We should be able to grow food that would be sufficient to feed every single human.
