I believe this is the case with the constant risk of diminishing manpower plus the lack of solid observation of employees. Especially in the customer service sector, where most of my friends work at, it has been stated that most of them take in chores and tasks that would otherwise require an administrator or a higher-up to initiate just so they can cut off the middleman to save some time and serve more customers in the process. They still have a boss but they pretty much do the same stuff for I would assume a lower pay rate. And that alone is the reason why I believe I wouldn't enjoy it.
In this world, of course, we can get many opportunities in whatever situation is going on, as long as we are willing to try and keep moving.
The cryptocurrency, is an opportunity that is already feasible and its popularity is increasing, why not? Of course people who are more advanced will come here and some take this as an additional job.
Even though in my country it is not completely legal, but it still allows selling it to local currency, well.. there are still many things that can be done of course with the internet today, and there are many opportunities in cryptocurrencies such as being able to invest, trade, mine, work in campaigns, etc., this can still be done and of course it is still a driver of the financial/income side, even if only at home.
cryptocurrency is but a portion of what can really be done in this pandemic setting, although I would say most of the alternatives is starting to get a little saturated as well. Then again this could very well be the reason why more people are much more accepting of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general during this pandemic setting.
