Weeks ago, I am discussing Bitcoin to my sister and my future brother-in-law (then) When they got married recently, both of them were unemployed and have been trying to get a job immediately after their marriage. Up until now they have no luck. My sister then decided to talk to me about how do I earn Bitcoins. I gladly explained it to her and then she decided to do it too. She was so happy that she is already earning bitcoin and had some extra budget while they are both unemployed. And now, she is so eager to learn more how to earn more coins.
Being unemployed drove her into engaging to Bitcoins. Maybe some people are like this. They grab Bitcoin when they are in need of money. And since that these people are now engaged in Bitcoin, I am sure that they will stay in Bitcoin and treat it as an investment even though they will have a decent paying jobs in the future.
I think it's true, unemployment can lead to cryptocurrencies.
I already explained bitcoin to some friends who where unemployed to show them that it's a way to earn some money if you need it.
When you participate to an ICO campaign (reading about a project, writing you bitcoin talk messages, like and follow on social networks, fill forms, copywriting or translating) you're actually working.
