It's always been those people at the bottom who will suffer the most during a crisis or economic decline. It's one of the major problems brought by the pandemic since millions of people are suffering from no income and some even lost their job during the lockdown. But I don't think companies should get charged for not paying their workers since they were forced to stop the operation and there's no job done during the lockdown so they are not obliged to pay them for the days they didn't work. Also, the fact that during those days, they have no revenue. However, I also get the point of the workers that they are only depending on their income and nobody wants this pandemic. Companies should have just sent help or compensation for their workers since they have funds like this for emergencies.
What if these people , these small workers start their own brands and directly receive payments in Bitcoins ? What matters is skills , the price will be cheaper for the person buying it and these people will even make more.
They are small workers, they can hardly find the money for their food so how come they can start their own brand? Let's say even if they start their own brand, they can't easily make that business big compare to the company where they are working. It will be hard for them to export their products so they can only sell their products locally. But my concern is, would there be enough customers that will use bitcoin as payment.
