On the other hand, more companies are beginning to offer remote jobs as a means to prevent mass infections of COVID-19. Doctors are even recurring to "telemedicine" at a fast pace. With how quickly the world is evolving, it seems to me that we're heading into a digital era never before experienced in our lives.
The pandemic and social distancing bring the world to another stage and increase the speed of evolution. Some industries have changed their human resource management and their companies changed from physical offices (with fixed and high expenses) to remote and virtual offices and save more fees for companies' operational activities. It is better than before the pandemic.
What impact will Blockchain technology have after the demise of COVID-19? Will everything be automated without middleman? Will people resort to physical cash once more or adapt to the new monetary system powered by CBDCs? Or is it still too early to tell? With how successful crypto and Blockchain technology have been since their inception, it's likely our world will adopt Blockchain technology to the fullest.
This is a different story. The world talked about the evolution and changes from blockchain, bitcoin, crypto in 2017 and we had many new projects were born (with ICO) and claimed that they will change the world. Most of those promising projects failed and dead. The pandemic gives scammers another period to hype their scam projects.
In the future, the world will be changed much more by blockchain technology but at the moment if anyone tells you about that, don't believe is better.
