The epidemic has a relatively large impact on Bitcoin. At least, that's what I think. During the epidemic, many people lost their jobs. Because they couldn't make ends meet, they sold the bitcoin they had bought for a long time to make ends meet. Some people bought bitcoin and when bitcoin fell, they did not have enough funds to continue to cover their positions and sell bitcoin.

The corrections that occurred in the cryptocurrency market are very similar to those happened in the stock market. But the overall picture looks much better for Bitcoin. Ever since the start of the pandemic, the prices increased by around 500%. On the other hand, the stock market indices went up by around 40%. The catch was to hold on to the coins, given the high volatility of cryptocurrency. Those who were unable to do so sold their coins too soon, and suffered considerable losses as a result.

That's good to hear, I'm glad that every country is learning how to adapt with this new setup, here in my country, it's almost the same with India, we even had protesters complaining to put a halt to our education system knowing how big of a factor poverty is, but we somehow pulled off a rough year and end up having everyone used to this setup, I can't say it's the best set-up and assure thst students will have fun, but we can't be left behind for sure.

I am also from India and here the people are split in to two camps - one in favor of re-opening the schools soon, and the other in favor of continuing the online system. My opinion is that the schools should remain shut, at least for 6 more months. The delta variant is proving deadly for the children as well, and in India the vaccination hasn't yet started for those who are below 18 years of age (in most of the other countries, they are vaccinating those in the 12-17 age group with the available vaccines).

I think it is, even though it seemed untrue and imposible for other people to adapt like the people who are not into technologies. They have no choice but to go with the flow. When the pandemic started, different online services or platforms existed and we need to adapt to stay at the fast-paced of technology. Even the students here in our country, need to have a cellphone or laptop to attend online classes, some people need technologies to communicate with thier loveones.

Here in India, online education was something new. There were a lot of teachers and students who didn't had a smartphone or laptop, and on top of that many of them who had these were not knowledgeable on how to use them for online classes. But now, after one and half years, it looks as if everyone got adjusted to it. The initial hiccups have been overcome, and now very few issues are being reported. Now getting the students back to the school after the pandemic is going to be one tough task.

agree it totally advance the world into the future why ? because world economy now are totally adopting and upgrading to an advance technology for their economy to continue the progress and not to lose their economy because of the pandemic. Now all the people are intact in technology where they can no longer live without it because that is the evolution of mankind. Because of the pandemic theres a lot of things change for example in school today we can no longer go to the school just to study but by just simple opening our laptop or just a smartphone, next work meeting today we are no longer go to a meeting place to conduct a meeting but by using video call application and thats the reality of the future and the cause of the Covid-19 virus to advance the whole world by using technology to change the way we live today.

it doesn't seem that easy. in such a situation most people would prefer to use the money they have to survive rather than invest. but at least this difficult situation made many people realize how important an investment is. People who have saved and invested money in the past are the luckiest people today.

In times of difficulty, the preference for investment will be towards low risk assets such as gold, bank deposits and treasury bonds. The flow towards high-risk assets such as cryptocurrency is highest when the economy is in good shape. With a smaller amount of disposable income, ordinary people would be more careful with their money and that lowers the preference for assets such as Bitcoin. But history teaches us that high-risk assets almost always provide higher returns when compared to assets such as bank deposits.

Gambling in crypto is like a lottery the same is true of gambling, as it depends on luck I think it is better to invest in crypto than casino gambling investors invest in risky ways and there is no such thing as a complete loss like a casino covid has taken the crypto world a long way. People have been able to solve their problems by investing in crypto. Every job for corona infection is developing online based when gambling becomes too addictive, it brings it to the poor investing in crypto is profitable.

Crypto investment during the covid pandemic like now is a smart choice and solution, we can get profits of up to hundreds of percent and it doesn't take long to take years, the courage to take risks is needed if we want to change our lives, and of course crypto is not gambling.

More bad factors for the future if we talk about education. Online education in my country is not effective, many children are not able to afford to be able to buy gadgets as the main need for online learning.

There are both positives and negatives for online education. On one hand, it requires a smartphone and internet connection. Although these have become very cheap nowadays, for certain sections of the society the financial burden is unaffordable. And also, online education is not very effective, if the teachers are not capable of adjusting in to such an environment. The plus point is that the student will save some money, since he doesn't have to spend on conveyance. Also, staying at home means that the kids are more or less protected against the virus.

Guess you are referring to Betting/Prediction Market... To be honest, it could be designed in a way that works abit like trading... You deposit $50 and you bet little by little like you bet on cryptocurrency price. This will give bettors the opportunity to win some and lose some, the skilled ones will identify patterns and win more than they lose.
It just has to be designed right and you may end up being convinced that it can be both skilled and luck-based, whether the game/competition is luck or skill-based.

You may consider it as a game/competition market where prizes are won or lost. Just don't gamble or take big risk. Bet Responsibly.

And this pandemic, however horrible, has opened the eyes of millions of people. They have started working remotely, or found new jobs online, they've never thought existed. This pandemic will end, but the world will never be the same.

The world will be more efficient working at home but I think our social values could take a new low.

Human resources are reduced by more than half, the company only retains important positions, only a few areas are still active, I do not find working from home more effective, before such a challenge, we can only do some small work from home with extremely low salary, educational experience is not applicable, this seems to be the weak point of working from home. Society consists of only rays of sunshine, the streets of fairs are empty of people, tedious and without the quality of the future created by covid

I agree that working from home is ineffective for me. It's like a government employee working from home, but imagine how they do their work at home. That is extremely difficult, and transactions are being held up. I am a government employee as well as a freelancer, and speaking on behalf of government employees, it is somewhat ineffective in terms of work, but it is extremely effective in terms of prevention. However, my main concern is that they are being paid for doing nothing at home. As a freelancer, we are very familiar with this, so it is nothing new to us.

I guess some people are better at remote work than others. And the incentive model should be considered also. Workers could be paid more when they solve useful problems. Or they could be paid more based on how much useful contributions they make or how much problem they solve... This would be easy to implement online.

I think this epidemic has let me know that children can still learn online and work can be done at home. What was the purpose of going to the company to check in before then? Working directly at home is the same as working at a company. It also made me reach the peak of my weight, and the epidemic made me fat.

Well, we'll see about that. We are talking about economics here, and overall we came to conclusion(in this thread) that it will improve during and after the pandemic.

Btw, I disagree with you regarding a "new low" because it sounds like it implies that our social values on a constant decline. This is, with the exception of a few countries, is not the case.

Being an IT engineer, I am working from home for more than one and half years now, and I would say that this is the best thing that has ever happened since I started working. But as you pointed out, certain sections of employees (especially those employed by the government) become arrogant when they work from home. Here in India, even before the pandemic the government employees were behaving as if they are gods. And now since they don't have to go to the office, they have become even more boorish.

this is the opposite with me, I am very grateful to be able to work from home. Even if you are not a government employee. However, I can do all my work at home. Here I can often meet my family, who I had to leave early in the morning and return in the evening.

If you consider that Crypto is like a gambling with ur analogy, I dont think so. Gambling is a zero sum game and crypto is money which is different form. You can decide when you have to buy or sell with ur own choice there is no restriction to do anything you want. When you are lose that isn't always a realize lose and most of them still unrealize. So do u still think they are the same level between gambling and crypto?

He is just saying that investing in cryptocurrency is as risky as taking a lottery ticket or participating in a casino game. It may be an exaggeration, but there is no doubt that the risk factor involved in cryptocurrency investment is much more than the case with mainstream investments such as stocks or bonds. And one more thing. Although it is true that you can buy or sell cryptocurrency whenever you want, it is not always practical. Remember what happened in 2014/15? The prices remained suppressed for almost two years.
