I lost my job, how about you guys?

[Ayiranorea]

Everything is unstable as long as there is a pandemic. Businesses halted operations due to supply problems. Supplies for a specific business takes too long to arrive beacuse of the tight security and of course shipment crews needs to be quarantined everytime they cross borders. That is why small businesses are affected and we workers as well. I know the only thing that will help me survive this crisis is cryptocurrency that is why I am active here again because fiat had failed me.

What is your story with fiat and cryptocurrency during pandemic? This is again the battle of centralized and decentralized assets and activity in the middle of a crisis. In your own experiences and opinion which of the two will win?

I lost my job also last month the sad is until now i don't have a new job. Everyday i go out i went different agencies to give resume but until now no call.
This pandemic give us a lot of problem. But i thank also my friend because she always update me if there's are bounty that able to join Full member. A little income but its a big help to me.

During the pandemic our forum has been helping a lot to our members. Some of our members shared their earnings and provided little earning to the members in need. Some did charity in their local region collecting donations and consumables. This time more people lost their jobs and businesses, but none lost hope.

Quite sad that the rewards from bounties are not as big as before, also it was easier before to apply for campaigns in order to get rewards. This has been discussed many times in this forum regarding the new set of rules. There is now a merit requirement and many users are not able to join campaigns because they are not earning merit, which on the other hand could help them during this times of need. This forum could be really a great help to people who lost their job but I do still appreciate projects which are still accepting and starting projects nowadays.

I have lost my long term job as well. I did my best to pursue my passion yet I didn't win the battle during this pandemic crisis. However, I'm still optimistic that there will still be lots of better opportunities for me even here in crypto world. I believe that everything happens for a reason and we'll all pass through it. For now, I'm still looking for more opportunities that could help me sustain all my daily needs. I know that things will get better soon.

Its really sad, but we are all dealing now with so much loses including our jobs when the whole world suddenly stop because of this pandemic. However, we must realized that its not the end of the world yet. Instead of feeling so lost and depressed, we must try to seek for another platform that will make us earn and be profitable. In this time of crisis, there are still a lot of ways to earn if we are creative, smart, productive and courageous enough to try something new in some digital platforms. So, I believe that we will never be hungry as long as we will work hard and do our best.

Fear of losing your job is a psychology... In fact, people should not have this! All this is artificially imposed on us by modern society... Since childhood, teachers and parents told us about work... And as a result we become hostages of our work!
Lost your job, do not whine and look for another! Then many things in life will seem much easier than you think about them!

If you lost your job, then you should not regret it. You can choose bitcoin to make money online.
I do believe that bitcoin can make money more than your monthly salary.
I am the boss of my own work, and thanks to bitcoin, to generate money by sitting at home.

Many people lost their jobs during the epidemic and suffered financially but investing in crypto has helped a lot in overcoming this crisis. It is true that nothing can be done without hard work but even if everything is off fiat currency is damaged but crypto is not damaged. Decentralized exchange sites have helped a lot in the fight against people-centered resources bitcoin's long-term investment has overcome the financial crisis including market demand.

As a citizen of a third world country, I could say that pandemic affected more lives that we could ever imagine, businesses lost their profits and their employees as well. Mostly, those who only could do work from home are the ones who remain employed while those people who's just daily wage earners lost their job, and the ending saddens their whole family starving and making their food enough everyday.

I belong to those privileged people, I mean we're in the middle. We're not poor but we're not that rich. Working here in the forum helps me a lot since I don't want to be an employee and having cryptocurrency than fiat is so much reassuring. I'd prefer it over fiat because I can now use bitcoin or could simply convert it in fiat to buy stuff online that I need every single day.

Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, losing job is absolutely predictable. Especially the service industry will be badly damaged. No one is acceptable to travel abroad or travel by plane, aviation will fall, they don't have money to pay their employees. Not only hotels don't have enough customers to pay plan but also boutiques, food shops, etc will have the same situation. Many people are jobless. Therefore, try to put aside, comply with what the government request to do, pandemic will soon pass away because we have vaccines now.

as non-employees, I and you are among the lucky ones because we can still get Bitcoin from campaigns on this forum.  in the real world, I also try hard not to be an employee, I open a small business and employ 4 people..  even though Bitcoin cannot be spent like fiat money in general, Bitcoin can still be converted to fiat to meet daily needs..

Currently, the certainty about vaccines is still unclear because the differences of opinion between WHO and countries that are producing vaccines have not reached an agreement..

Let me ask you - have you made a lot of money on your own at Bitcoin? Even more than the average monthly salary! And in what ways do you manage to earn so much?
Probably, you successfully trade on the exchange and earn a steady income?

many are experiencing problems during this pandemic, from individuals even to countries experiencing economic recession. many small entrepreneurs went bankrupt as well as large entrepreneurs. the most noticeable impact is traders in crowded places such as convenience stores, school canteens, tourist entertainment. so that it has a big influence on the production sector. in my opinion, this is not a battle between decentralization and centralization, as long as both of them still have public trust, they can go hand in hand. it is more about mutual assistance, government policies and individual awareness.

Also the government needs to life up their local entrepreneurs by helping them with easy loans and maybe even no interest collateral based loans for an year or two which can help them stabilize. I mean there are so many ways the government can help their people in such times and the only way we can recover our economy is by starting to work again and earn money because when you earn money you contribute to the economy positively.

I feel for people who lost their jobs but really rather than getting demotivated and feeling frustrated you must take this as a lesson and make a passive income source in future also make sure you don't rely on a single job/business solely because every job and business goes through ups and downs and you must have a passive income source that keeps you going in times when the main business is down or suffering from a rough patch.

I have lost my job because of Covid-19, and unfortunately, the government only provides me with 130 dollars as unemployment benefits. There was already an economic crisis in the country where I live, and this has increased even more after the pandemic. I am looking for a new job every day but I haven't been successful so far. Despite this, I still keep my hope that these days will pass.

[gabbie2010]

To be candid the effect of this pandemic has devastated and crumbled a lot of businesses, job losses, recessions and causes poverty especially in developing countries.
Its very sad reading comments how people lost their jobs, personally I worked as a private school teacher shortly after covid-19 infections was becoming widespread all schools in my country was closed  down indefinitely the implication of the closure means no payment of salaries to us, everyone has to hustle legitimately to earn some bucks and care of our families.

[Police Indo]

losing a job is something very hard, especially if it's been a job we've been doing for years. There is a need for further skill upgrades to prepare ourselves for a new destiny. if you decide to join crypto, then there is no must be  lose. I prefer crypto because of the block chain technology, I like fiat because I am used to it and don't rely on internet connections (it feels more real).

[Wawa2013]

I have lost my job as a result of the current pandemic which is not over yet. Imagine I've been working for 10 years, and now have
to stop working because my company is having financial difficulties. So there must be a reduction in staff, and I am one of the victims
who have lost my job due to this pandemic. The beginning of despair, because it is not easy to find a new job in a pandemic situation
like now. But cryptocurrency saved me, because by trading crypto I can get income for my living expenses. Moreover, the current
cryptocurrency price is very volatile and its performance is getting better. So in my opinion this year it will be easier to make profit from
crypto trading compared to 2019.

I live in Turkey, and yes, the employment benefit I received is calculated based on my previous salary but the highest state benefit is 250 dollars per month. In the country where I live, independently of the pandemic, there has been a great economic crisis, especially for the last 4 years.

hey you are not alone there, most of the whole country is feeling the impact of this damn covid, i also experienced it this is very difficult, i never thought this would happen before, the economy was destroyed many factories and companies were closed, some of them survived  by firing its employees

I agree but we have to also remember that long before Covid came we were already experiencing some heavy results in economy in many countries. Unemployment was rising already and inflation was climbing even in my area before this year.

I think we all are worried about our job security and Bitcoin is one of our hopes but I would also hope we do not look for shortcuts.

Improve ourselves continuously and keep working hard.

I had some dreams of doing my own business but savings is very slow to accumulate so I am spending all my free time learning learning learning. I do not know if it brings results but it is surely better than doing nothing and hoping for the best!
