Topic: Bitcoin can save some people's lives :-> (Read 966 times)
I have seen some contradictory information regarding the probability of transmission of the corona virus by means of tickets. Some claim that if it can be transmitted by this means, gold believes that it is not, although the bills can certainly be carriers of a large number of bacteria and microorganisms.
What is true is that digital transactions reduce the likelihood of contagion as there is no direct contact between people, and cryptocurrencies play a very important role here.
Other elements to consider, especially with the advancement of digitization, is that computer keyboards and cell phones are media where a large number of microorganisms and bacteria live, and should be cleaned frequently. One of the recommendations is to use disposable antibacterial towels or a mixture of 50% alcohol and 50% water applied with a towel.
I watched a Youtube video last night about the food merchants in some of the markets in Wuhan and I noticed that most of them are using electronic payment methods to pay for goods. < Wechat Pay >
Ok, it is not Bitcoin, but if more merchants using Fiat currency can switch over to Bitcoin, you might see less infections. The reason for this is simple, because the Corona virus can be transmitted from person to person via cash being used on a daily basis.
People can also do online payments with Bitcoin to avoid handling physical cash and thus avoiding infection. It can also prevent people from being infected from a host of other viruses and bacteria that can survive for days on physical coins and notes.
This is just one more reason for people to move away from physical payment methods and shifting to a cash-less financial system in the future.

I don't really think that the coronavirus is transmitted via touching paper money,coins or anything else.
It's transmitted via air and moisture.Even if its was transmitted via touching paper money,you can see that people all over China are using gloves now.Switching from fiat money to digital money will lead to more people using Wechat Pay(like you mentioned) because it's more convenient than BTC.Very few merhcants and buyers might switch to Bitcoin or any other altcoin.
As far as i know germs can be easily transmitted through our hands since we touch things through our hands. According to the world health organization paper money can help covid 19 spread through money ( https://www.google.com/amp/s/fox59.com/news/coronavirus/world-health-organization-says-contaminated-money-may-have-helped-coronavirus-spread/amp/ ) so online payment is very helpful. But I think adopting bitcoin as a mode of payment for our daily expenses is not that easy and possible since there are governments that are againts in crypto.
Innovatively, such a payment might sound very good, maybe it can lead us away from germs or viruses that are in coins or paper.
Before we think there, we need to know that the price of Bitcoin or other Altcoin has a high fluctuation, so if someone requires using such online payments, surely that person must buy Bitcoin or Altcoin in advance to make that payment.
And when over time the price of Crypto has decreased, would not it give a loss and might be able to make people stressed because the estimated value of their assets is reduced.
The innovation is not easy to apply, of course, the local government has taken into account all the possibilities that will occur.

Online payment are being adopted in different country and it could really save people from getting infected on different virus that can be pass through physical contact such as the latest virus, corona virus. The only downside of using online payment is when you misclick or send the money to other addresses. You cannot retrieve your money.

True meehn, cryptocurrency can go a long way to help but I don’t think that’s still possible now for China because a lot of people in are making use of WeChat Pay and other platforms that are very popular there.
It will be difficult for Bitcoin to replace those payment methods because they are already very popular there. And moreover they are offering the same services that Bitcoin will offer, except in terms of fees, Bitcoin might possibly be better in terms fees and have a lower fees compared to those other platforms or maybe not. But in my country it’s not like that, there are lots of platforms are way more cheap than Bitcoin when it comes transactions fees.

Paper money and coins are a medium for spreading viruses and bacteria, it will be exacerbated if a person does not adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain cleanliness. The existence of digital money and crypto does help to cut the chain of spread of viruses and bacteria through direct contact with physical money, and yes it can save the lives of many people.
But, the use of money in traditional markets especially in rural and remote areas is still in the conventional system that uses direct contact. So, counseling about hygiene and a healthy lifestyle would be more effective I think to provide education and reduce the spread of viruses and bacteria.

But because my country doesn't allow bitcoin as payment, I use digital transactions like that
mobile banking and internet banking to buy all my necessities of life. No doubt, that's what happened, other than that the effects of the epidemic have caused the market for some people who use bitcoin as a hedge, very similar to gold, even Bitcoin if it can save every life when, because this is instant money that can be used from anywhere in the world, the problem is a world-class virus, the numbers handled by the news are not real, I think the real numbers are surprising, the Bitcoin market is happening is seen with more volume, Small people's investment can be reflected every day. At first, I also thought that this was too much that this coronavirus could survive on paper money, so I did a little research.

Well its one of the advantage on such innovation when it comes to e-transactions but im not really that expecting much for bitcoin to have place Ok, it is not Bitcoin, but if more merchants using Fiat currency can switch over to Bitcoin, you might see less infections.

yet e-fiat transactions been already happening it isnt just been focused nor utilized into market and yet people would simply still stick to traditional
paper or fiat transactions and for now stopping or making people switch to e-payments would still be debatable unless if it would be strictly implemented
by the government on such place or country then it would be nice to have.
In my opinion, fiat has its cashless payments too don’t you think? I think that Bitcoin being able to lessen the transmission of diseases is not that significant. I would try to think it on the other way. For instance you and some person you travelled along with to a foreign country would seek medical help but the cash you have in hand were limited to the local currency you had brought were commonly you didn’t convert that much to cover the said expenses then Bitcoin might just be a thing. Though there are also other possible scenarios which you can use Bitcoin like the previous example that I had given.
Cash and other forms of payment can be harm to our health this is because germs and viruses can be transmitted using the cash that circulating. That's why much better now to use digital currency or crypto currency because we don't need to have actually contact in payment and also we dont need to go out to pay our bills because we can also use crypto currency to pay our bills like internet, electricity, and water bills.
This is why we can use online payment for the meantime since as been said corona virus is really spreading even in paper bills has it's virus. Also by having this payment system online it helps us to ease time, less hassle and fast transaction. Yes this is the best way to use payment online and bitcoin could help people lives through these kind of system. Quote

It is a wise action to atleast lessen contact to other people to prevent spreading of the virus. Because the truth is, it is only applicable in the city or in a limited place. In a province, there are no stores that has online payment or especially bitcoin and in the city there are still some stores who are not accepting online payment.
depends on the country . there are country that ban btc and cryptos were you cannot totally use or have access to them but if a country allow cryptos , you can alway find a store that accept cryptos wether your living on a province or on a city .
i am living on a province now but there are store here that are crypto friendly but i prefer to transact online because of the virus scare now . on our place people are also scare to go out and people are now wearing masks just to avoid possible infection .

Tangible money is really one of the reason for the spread of different viruses. Since it is handed down from person to person, it can be the cause of a disease specifically COVID-19 which has that mode of transfer. Aside from that, moving from place to place and buying goods and availing services can expose us to germs and viruses. So, to counter it, electronic payment existed. It is cheaper, less hassle, and more convenient. With the situation in China, this method is very effective because the caution instilled on people could drive them to dive into this method. Tangible money is put aside and e-payments come in. People can soon realize that there is also a cryptocurrency which can also be used as a method for transaction even in the food industry and others. The disadvantage here is that, if the virus is gone and of course, tangible money cannot be totally neglected, there would be less attention on electronic payments and moreover on Bitcoin. I say, the bank cannot let this situation go because they would be very much affected. So only time and the application of Bitcoin will tell how the world can adapt to crisis such as COVID-19 with cryptocurrency.

I actually see that making purchases online will far more help to reduce the spread of the virus because direct delivery is carried out by the courier to the customer's place, the customer does not need to meet with other people who allow the spread of the virus.
When I read a health article then there is no virus that survives in free air, the spread must be through human to human or animal to human, not from object to human, only bacteria can do that.

That is only partialy true. Even when you are buying things online they need to be delivered to you door somehow. A numerous people are included in that process, it's not that only one human is dealing with shipment, so contact with humans is inevitable and you are not fully protected.

I saw some pictures of the people in China that are using Wechat Pay and guess note, there are also beggars too that are using it instead of coins or bills 
. Kind of awkward but if that is true then...... I don't know .Ok, it is not Bitcoin, but if more merchants using Fiat currency can switch over to Bitcoin, you might see less infections.

If a community are convenient enough in using a specific thing then they will just stick in using it. In this case, they are using Wechat Pay and Bitcoin isn't related there so instead of Bitcoin they will just use Wechat Pay for some reasons like faster speed and lesser fees. If there are merchants who are accepting Bitcoin or other crypto in China then good.People can also do online payments with Bitcoin to avoid handling physical cash and thus avoiding infection. It can also prevent people from being infected from a host of other viruses and bacteria that can survive for days on physical coins and notes.

At this moment, fiat currency such as bills and coins can be a great transmitter of virus right now. The host will just cough the coin or bill in a secret place then will give it to other people so using E-payment right now that they are facing a huge problem is a good move to lessen the transmission of virus. This is just one more reason for people to move away from physical payment methods and shifting to a cash-less financial system in the future.
The world is seriously moving into technology to reduced some stress of carrying physical cash with a high risk, hence in times of china current situation of corona virus that is spread from body contact, i think the best way is to stay at home and make an electronic payment with bitcoin for goods and services delivery at home, with that method, bitcoin has play a good role.
You won't be able to go complete every daily necessities with the crypto payments, that is if you are lucky enough to have those type of payment systems where you live. So in a way this develops more panic about the virus outbreak. Better to stay careful yourself and wait it out than being delusional and devloping more panic about the situation. Do go out and not stay completely at home during this time unless you are very scared. More people become sick of panic than disease.
That's right there are many lives that is saved by bitcoin. there are donation sites that will go through different charities that will be truly helpful to others, and online payments is one of it's pros like in wuhan china, there are a huge risk to acquire the disease by touching the money that has been exposed to the virus, and i also watched that there are some scumbags that are intentionally spreading the disease by spitting everywhere, like in the groceries, the buttons of the elevator, there are special place in hell for them.
Well this isn't really directly connected to the spread of Corona, but I even see some people here donating Bitcoin to those who needs it like in one of the threads I've read here in reporting users spamming.
The point is we really need people to get into crypto as much as possible before the supply even depletes in case there will be many whales that are gonna arrive, so that it wouldn't just increase the demand of the coin as well as its price but also we can have wider reach to everybody around the globe.

I can tell you that with BTCitcoin I make my purchases through the points of sale in supermarkets and I do it after I exchanged them to Fiat. Literally! I imagine that it works with most of our community.
I think that the day we can pay freely with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are near. The idea is good that Bitcoin can save some lives in relation to the Chinese community that is fighting with the Coronavirus.
actually not only bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies because there are other online payments that can be used.I think that the day we can pay freely with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are near. The idea is good that Bitcoin can save some lives in relation to the Chinese community that is fighting with the Coronavirus.
the only advantage of Bitcoin is the volatility in which the value may increase in future.
I've been using cashless transactions lately and it is very convenient. I just worry sometimes that the system might fail so I won't be able to purchase anything, LOL! Anyway, I think cashless transactions really helps to avoid or prevent viruses from spreading so it is a great advantage if everyone uses cashless transactions and it will be better is Bitcoin is really one of the options.
things may happen of course because this is only internet based and trouble might come in instance but at least it can be fixed easily and maintenance is more convenient when it comes to computer system than man power. Jump to:
