Hello Amazing Peeps.
Almost a year and half since this whole pandemic shi! and it's pretty much a given that at least here in the USA we are head first going into normalcy.
Question for you, in terms of the blockchain.
Do you believe that the pandemic was a necessary evil in getting folks woke to the blockchain, crypto and the future movement?
OR
STFU Jimmy, in spite of it. The pandemic had very little to do with it.
Basically, I don't have to be on a HIVE platform to hear, see or read about it now. Of course, I myself feel much more comfortable and realistic about it being on a HIVE platform.
I dont think the pandemic had much of an impact one way or another. We were on an accelerating course of user adoption anyway. It doesnt seem to me that there was anything different as a result of the pandemic.
What is happening though, is the censorship issue is starting to spread. People who speak out against the actions of governments are finding their social media accounts attacked. This is certainly something that is bringing forth a new mindset that blockchain can leverage.

@taskmaster4450le that does make a lot of sense, where those feeling that censorship or even being on the sidelines and knowing it’s wrong that they would be searching for other avenues to speak their mind freely and of course delve into ways of having more control altogether.
I don't think the pandemic had much to do with it. I think it had more to do with the politics seeping in and causing people to rethink about whether or not they want to stay on centralized mediums.
We saw Twitter, Facebook and others ban people. We also have been seeing more people get cut off from systems like PayPal so people want an alternative. Then finally we have people concerned about the mass printing of money caused by the pandemic so it may be indirectly caused by the 1st point. But I don't think it is a major reason why.
