How can blockchain help amidst the pandemic?

[crypto1010]

Because of the pandemic, everyone is almost going digital and we're more prone to cyber-crime, fraud, and possibly scams.

Blockchain technology being seen as a trusted record, a ledger that can never be cheated on, can possibly solve these issues for most of the people. This type of verification also has many other applications, such as making it trivial to verify IDs, university degrees, memberships, and authenticity of artwork or goods. Client apps have already been developed to make these kinds of verification free and easy using web browsers, mobile apps, or desktop apps.

Blockchain technology, being the ledger that anyone can't fake nor tamper, is very valuable during this age where we're at, which is where everything is happening digitally.

Good read. These platforms should propose to more companies so that we can get more people using blockchain.

when you speak of crime you have to keep many things in mind. As things move digitally as they already are blockchain will become a savior for many people. I am not really sure how it would deter crime since crime is not dependent on having a blockchain but it will definitely help digital life become little more safer.

This pandemic has proven to be a turning point and now the world has no option but to move towards digitalization lead by blockchain tech and cryptocurrencies.
Even during pandemic blockchain tech has shown its worth by collecting and transmitting world epidemic stats and data to WHO database.

We are going digital there is no doubt about it but I doubt we are going to see cryptocurrencies being in the middle of this as governments want to have complete control of the economy, if you think about this it makes sense from their perspective, after all if they can control your money then they can control you very effectively and they are going to be opposed to anything that offers decentralization, however once their system collapses that could open the path for cryptocurrencies to take over.

During the pandemic we had experienced corrupt government officials cheating their way on the subsidies for helping affected citizens.  The financial support that is supposed to be given to people so that they will be able to sustain their living were not delivered, this is where a transparent ledger such as blockchain is needed.  To be able to track the flow of finances that supposed to be given as aid and yet goes straight to the pocket of these corrupt officials. In short it is the best solution to battle corruption.

Blockchain can be a reliable technology for verification and to avoid duplication of data and modification of it from someone outside the network. But the companies don't see and are not willing to try it because of some reasons that we don't know.
They want to retain themselves with their old methods and systems rather than jumping in to this kind of new technology.

By making sure that the money you donated will go to the right person and not to the corrupt government officials. Also, blockchain can make good inventory and more detailed transactions which can’t be tampered by anyone who tries to manipulate the numbers and corrupt the money.

There might be no direct effect to the people who are suffering right now, but blockchain really helps and this is why government officials don’t want this thing because of being transparent.

That's true and I'm thinking with the goes of time and the adoption will be much more massively compared with this time. The digitalization is a must as it can help us the avoid the impact that caused by the pandemic.
People were doing new activities like trading in the market right now.

Very possible, but we should also the dark sides of it, for sure there are lot of people out there that will use blockchain in illegal or wrongdoings like frauds, scams, etc. But I think this is normal, it will be depends on the person on how they will use everything, especially this blockchain which is more advance technology and kinda new for some people who not really into technology.
Overall it is very helpful.

The blockchain industry has also suffered from isolation due to covid-19, but nevertheless, in many countries, people have found many ways to use the blockchain in those spheres of human life that, in a pandemic, require new conditions to provide many services to users. In Britain, for example, one company is implementing a blockchain, with the help of which it will control the spread of coronavirus and store information related to the fight against this epidemic. In China, using the blockchain, it implements a program for the delivery of high-quality products and medicines, and using the blockchain, the quality, origin and the possibility of choosing cheaper products will be controlled. And at the same time, there are a lot of such projects.

of course blockchain technology can change the mindset of people who previously could not trust the government, when used for the interests of people affected by a pandemic will be able to increase people's trust in the government.
trust is built on the basis of valid facts and data, not just words.

I already commented something related a while ago but analyzing the current time and the development of improvements by all the governments of the world I believe that blockchain can strengthen the speed and rigidity of the system. In general this event showed us how much we need speed and agility so that the system doesn't collapse and unfortunately there was a small collapse until governments managed to control the situation.

The fact is that the governments of many countries, including the United States, have long shown their inconsistency in the face of modern challenges, including the coronavirus pandemic. Of course, they try to correct all mistakes and act in such a way as to avoid collapse and significant losses in the economy, but people continue to suffer. I believe that to a greater extent, people themselves began to solve their problems with the help of IT technologies and thanks to remote work. big minds with great pleasure presented many developments using blockchain that can be used not only to fight the coronavirus, but also for any area of ​​consumer, social and financial services.

that is actually a good example on how blockchain technology can help in the transparency of releasing funds to people. however, up until now, governments are not ready to accommodate this technology when it comes to their business. i guess they will delay and delay or oppose this kind of system later on. because they can't cheat anymore with the funds. and most of them are afraid of transparency.

 but on the other note, a lot of crypto users are benefitting in crypto even during this crisis. just consider the sig campaign here, they are being paid and they can just work at the comfort of their homes. and also crypto trading, if you have the funds and skills, one can just do his trading at anytime of the day..and other crypto related businesses like freelance jobs for developers and so on..

And this is yet another reason why they do not want to adopt bitcoin, everything is always there for anyone to analyze and see what they have been doing, they want to know what you are doing with your money but they do not want that you know what they are doing with the money we pay in taxes, and as long as this is the case I will never trust the governments as they want total control of their population but they do not want to be subjects to the same standards.

It ishelping WHO and UN in data collection from all across the world. Corona is a threat but there is decline in new infections in most countries now and only few countries are there which take is as a threat so all good.

Blockchain is very helpful today and will certainly continue to grow. But in other cases there are also groups that use it for crime and money laundering which will not be easy to trace.

But the point is how it can help during the pandemic not what are the things that can be used to harm others or for illegal purposes.

Are you sure that they have said that blockchain is what they're using in decreasing the threat of corona virus? it's more of medical not technological.
