I do think Bitcoins is helping more than the government itself for a normal person , I am using my bitcoins selling them timely so that I can pay my rent and everything because jobs are all closed.
You are selling your bitcoins because you have collected/bought them in past, am I right? Yes. So if you had collected fiat in past, you would be able to pay your rent too. As easy as ABC.
The best way cryptocurrencies are helping us right now is that you are able to mine if you have a good GPU or asic miner. While staying at home you can mine crypto and earn money, you aren't abandoned, it's a huge benefit.
Otherwise saying that you were holding crypto and it's what saved you, isn't that right because in such situations it's 50/50 what will happen around price. You know everyone needs money and there is a chance people will have a will to sell their bitcoins as soon as possible and get money during quarantine and as a result it will drop price a lot. But on another hand people may stick with it and see bitcoin as a real escape during such situations. You can't bet your future on things like this.
And bonus+
Cryptocurrencies offered us blockchain, don't forget that there are high paying jobs in this niche and you can work online. Knowledge = power.
