The pandemic did push the world towards a more digital age.

[lixer]

What this pandemic caused is the remote working surge and that is where I believe crypto could play a big role as well.

If everyone decides that working from home is not a bad thing, that means they would rather be at home and considering tech we have is not bad and we could totally do it for many many jobs out there, it wouldn't be shocking if companies keep it remote for a bit more while and maybe even forever for some positions.

That makes it a crypto business because if you can just have workers at home, does it matter if they are working at home very near you or maybe they would be in a whole another nation? Maybe they will work from across the globe?

As long as you are hiring remote worker it could be some other nationality and for big nations that means cheaper labor and if they want to have ease of payment for salary they could totally go with bitcoin over fiat to make it simpler to pay remote worker salaries.

It is true that since the pandemic, more and more payment transactions have been made cashless, and people also prefer to buy goods online.

Afraid of being infected that's the impact of this virus, people mostly stayed at home and transact online, the cashless system are more useful during this pandemic season.

Almost all companies have started to work from home and school activities are carried out online as well.

Yeah right, adjustment has been done due to this virus, protocols has been made by government requiring everyone to follow everything.

So indirectly this pandemic forces people to immediately switch to the digital world.

The word force is really relevant to what happened, since there's no choice people been force to use this system to avoid the virus.

But for some people who are less knowledgeable about technology and who rarely access the internet, will find it difficult to adapt to the digital world.

They will soon to adopt as the virus still there, situation might be hard but they needed to adjust.

[barbara44]

Physical contacts is the way the virus can be contaminated person to person and near example of this on using fiat currencies to buy goods and necessities that may needed on daily basis. Well devoped countries are much adopted cashless payments that makes it more suited for pushing digital adoption that would help lessen the contamination of corona virus. Pandemic might brought as negative effects but it also strengthen  up on adopting cashless payments.

Cashless payments is one positive but the biggest positive I have seen is the education for students being provided online which actually was not going to happen even in the next 25 years considering the pandemic did not happened. I know the pandemic was disastrous and prayers for all who suffered and died but we have to look for the positives now as corona virus impact is fading.

The education system needed a lift and because of the virus it was forced for the colleges and schools to make education online and that actually helped students because education in class was never as good as the education online and students can record and see it again which was not possible in classes.

Oh, I would not say that the influence of the coronavirus is waning, on the contrary, we are now seeing a new rise in the incidence. Online education has many advantages and will surely increase its share after the current events, but nevertheless, the interaction of the teacher and the student has not been canceled and the interaction is more effective with direct contact. Thanks to the pandemic, no matter how terrible it was, we got an acceleration in the implementation of many processes taking place online, including the rise of an even larger share of digital payments.

[The cure]

The pandemic has indeed become a way to recognize the importance of digital payments so that we can avoid to touch physical money which is the possible carrier of the virus, there are so many changes in our lives that we do not expect to happen in an instant, but still we can do nothing but to stay strong and look at the good effects of the pandemic on us, just like the adoption of most to the what we called the digital world.

I guess that you live in a modern city with full facilities and a high average income so you can build an opinion on the positive side of the pandemic towards online education. In the fact that for a developing country, online education gives more disadvantages than advantages for students. There are many students who don't have enough facilities to do online learning. Online education for unlucky students is just one of the bad impacts of the pandemic. During the pandemic, students can't learn well and they got nothing knowledge because they don't have facilities such as a smartphone, a laptop, etc. Their parents don't have enough money to give online facilities for their children, so the online learning process just can run well for some lucky students, and the other just can receive their bad condition and the government didn't have any solutions for them. The government can only give data packet for students to online learning and can't give the facility.

[RealMalatesta]

Online education could be a huge improvement but it could also be a huge problem at the same time as well. I can't explain to you how it could be both of those things at the same time as well as having a child could explain it to you, if you have a kid and they do online education you could totally see it yourself why it could be wonderful and bad at the same time.

But, the shortest way I could explain would be the fact that kids these days care about what is on screen more often than what their teacher says and when their teacher is on screen it is easier to focus as well, plus there is less commotion between friends during class since you are physically not there so you can focus easier, this is the good part.

Bad part is, kids should be kids and meet and play and have fun, when they are stuck at home that is bad personal development, plus you could always mute and cheat your way out and watch netflix meanwhile, those are bad.

[AicecreaME]

This pandemic brought so much headache to each one of us. There were a lot of negative effects in every sector of each countries. Majority of the businesses, companies, establishments, and corporations were forced to close down.

On the other hand, these unfortunate events brought an opportunity for the e-commerce industry.  Because of safety protocols given in different localities, people were forced to limit going outside and just stay home as much as they can. This results to people using digital mode of payment in transactions. Online businesses boomed and it was evident more people started patronizing these online shops and apps compared to rate of users prior the pandemic.

This pandemic paved way for wider users of digital platforms. Long before, digital transactions are already a thing, but i believe, this pandemic indeed pushed the society to adapt and catch up to the modern ways today (at least here in our country). Usage of online banking apps increased, the use of beep cards and cash cards on local supermarkets were slowly introduced for safety reasons.

Children nowadays are difficult to control especially learning online after what the government has implemented for me, this kind of lesson will not be good in the future because the teacher will not know how fluent the student is in learning.
By using online, of course they will spend more in playing the game compared to the lessons that have been given by the teacher, there is no other way than to re-enter the school, but the protocol is still applied to students to keep their distance and still be supervised by the teacher.

Many organization really pass through the challenge the pandemic  has brought to the world. Many people sustain with digital currency during the pandemic such as bitcoin which really help people to grow their businesses .
Many people are use to digital currency before covid-19 came to collapse the economy of the country which the government are doing everything possible to wake up their economy back to normal.
Many people use different way to survive during the lockdown which is still making some people not to believe that bitcoin is a decentralized currency which is not control by the government.

[Dsdaq]

The global crisis brought on by the coronavirus pandemic has pushed us further into a digital world, and changes in behaviour are likely to have lasting effects when the economy starts to pick up. But not everyone is ready to embrace a more digitized existence. But its advantage and cost effective to work from home for many companies and government come to realise it at the expense of the pandemic for us to.

[finaleshot2016]

I can say it's true since many online jobs have opened recently and most of us are now working online.

Many people have also invested in digital currencies such as crypto. In education, students are now studying online through zoom, google meet and ms teams.

I can clearly say that during this pandemic we advance our skills in the digital world.

This is true and yet its happening world wide specially on education side where students do able to know the current platforms when it comes to videocalls/meetings.
It may have some positive effect on that side but we arent wishing for this situation to continue even more.We do need those normal days yet we can still be
knowledgeable to digital age even more even on normal days but its true that this is the time where people do gave out more focus.What options we do had?

Well there's always to sides of coin , but for us who literally doing things digitally since long time ago .. it feels like a blessing, an unexpected a lot benefit for us and we love to see it.
The protocol to better stay at home indeed pushing people to know more how things could be done digitally , it's just increasing the number of advanced technology awareness, especially in this case it's the decentralized finance usage.

They are getting close to fully understand how cryptocurrency works, how bitcoin works. That's indeed a good news!

Even those people who are hesitant to use the digital technology are giving their effort to learn. This is in order to avoid going outside and mingle with people for something that they can avoid if they will use the digital tech. A lot of delivery systems are now going cashless. A move to avoid the usage of cash, as identified as one possible sources of transfer of virus. Better be safe than sorry. There's nothing wrong in learning new things rather than open yourself to vulnerability.

A person is still a social being and he needs direct communication, and not only through technical means of communication. This applies even more to children, because at this age the skills of social interaction with other members of society are laid and the school serves as an excellent platform for practicing such interaction. Another side effect of the current online activity is that there is no clear boundary between work and study activities and home activities, and because of this, many of them lose their ability to work.

[FlightyPouch]

I can say that this depends on the country you are in right now. It is true though that there are a lot of people adapting to the changes especially as a teacher, education takes a big leap from being used in a classroom teacher traditionally to teaching online and giving modules to students. We can't adapt that quickly, we are trying our best and even though there are those teachers that did adapt quickly, there are still a lot of them that can't do the same.

There are still people who are having a hard time understanding and adapting new technologies, especially those old people. But they are still pushing themselves to use this new technologies, so that they no longer have difficulty keeping up with the trend. Also, the pandemic is the main reason why we make a lot of changes in this world that many people have to work from their home, same as students they need to continue their studies by attending online classes, and the usage of virtual money have increased.

Even without a pandemic, people are already adapting to new technologies. What this pandemic did is just force people to adapt even though they are not ready. It is the main reason why there are a lot of people that are forced to work from their home, attend their  online classes in their houses and the increased of virtual money is also an effect of that.

Actually, those engagements with technology is more likely related to online services and not technology in general. Services and other businesses continued in using online platforms simply because many people have no other options since going outside is prohibited to prevent the widespread of the virus. And that I think is just a small portion of technology. People are just more exposed to the internet lately because of the situation but not to technology at its broadest sense. It won't be valid to conclude that everything will be digital soon just because many people are holding their phones most of the time. If we are not needing drivers, not manually cooking things and such that would be the time everything is virtual, kidding aside.

[JuSayCo]

Yes, exactly. The world are more highly digitalized since the lockdown started in any places and followed by different types of community quarantines that restricted us from going out to avoid the physical contact with each other and to prevent the rapid transmission of covid-19. This strange time had taught us that everything can be done virtually. Though some of us are not used to it,  especially the modern businesses, work and study from home. But despite the struggles,  like the internet signal here in our country which is so slow and unstable sometimes...yet,  we have faith that we can make this things possible and yes, we learned digitalization and getting used to it now.

[Spaffin]

Considering how the pandemic and the general quarantine in many countries affected the national economies, as well as the stock market, we can say with confidence that the current situation did not badly affect the cryptocurrency market, since there are many investors, as well as ordinary people, in order to preserve their savings or their capital, invested their funds in alternative assets, which are primarily Bitcoin and Ethereum, as well as other cryptocurrency ratings. According to statistics, it is the period of the pandemic that is the largest period of migration of institutional capital to the cryptocurrency market. This is also a positive fact.
