What is your story with fiat and cryptocurrency during pandemic? This is again the battle of centralized and decentralized assets and activity in the middle of a crisis. In your own experiences and opinion which of the two will win?

As a citizen of a third world country, I could say that pandemic affected more lives that we could ever imagine, businesses lost their profits and their employees as well. Mostly, those who only could do work from home are the ones who remain employed while those people who's just daily wage earners lost their job, and the ending saddens their whole family starving and making their food enough everyday.

I belong to those privileged people, I mean we're in the middle. We're not poor but we're not that rich. Working here in the forum helps me a lot since I don't want to be an employee and having cryptocurrency than fiat is so much reassuring. I'd prefer it over fiat because I can now use bitcoin or could simply convert it in fiat to buy stuff online that I need every single day.
