Pandemic and bill problems

Check out our new platform: https://thecapital.io/

The deterioration of the financial conditions has significantly affected the delays in paying phone and internet bills — which are higher during the pandemic.

The lockdown caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, and by extension, the requirement to work remotely forced everyone to communicate over the phone and in virtual meetings. After the Corona-crisis, more than half of Poles (56.5 percent) admitted that they use their phone much more frequently and spend more time on the network (54.3 percent).

As was foreseeable, the utility bills have increased, and as the studies show, they have never been a priority in the order in which the various types of charges are to be paid. The Coronavirus has only made this issue worse. As the data presented in the Intrum report shows, 62 percent of Polish consumers believe that their financial well-being has deteriorated as a result of the pandemic, which in practice means that some people have to decide which bills they will pay first, due to their reduced incomes.

In turn, according to the BIG analysis, the delay of any payments during the pandemic was declared by almost 1/3 of those surveyed. Most of these (16%) was the postponement of payments for phones and the Internet.

Five Bitcoin Price Charts Analyzing The Dramatic Q1 2022 Conclusion

There are only hours remaining until the Q1 2022 close in Bitcoin price action. With the important quarterly candle set to close tonight, let’s look at what technicals might say about the direction of the next quarter. Q1 2022 Comes To A Close For Bitcoin The first quarter of a year, often sets the tone for the year to come. In investments, a poor Q1 performance is indicative of a bad year ahead. Considering the fact that Bitcoin price is now above $45,000 after touching $32,000 this quarter, it is tough to say the performance has been “poor” by anything other than crypto standards.

ENS DAO delegates offer perspective on DAO governance and decentralized identity

AlphaWallet CEO and Spruce co-founder talk about their roles as contributors to the Ethereum Name Service following the project's recent airdrop. Earlier this month, the Ethereum Name Service, or ENS, formed a decentralized autonomous organization, or DAO, for the ENS community.  Cointelegraph spoke to two ENS DAO delegates who applied for the opportunity to represent the community and stay involved in the decision making process: Victor Zhang, CEO of AlphaWallet, an open source Ethereum wallet, and Gregory Rocco, co-founder of Spruce, a decentralized ID and data toolkit for developers.

How Social Platform Chingari is Using Web 3.0 to Transform the Traditional Way We Use Social Media

The world is changing. This isn’t news to anyone, but sometimes it is nice to realize that—contrary to news headlines—not all the change is bad.  In fact, the last decade has seen so much innovation and so many improvements to technology that even 2015 seems like a different world.  Internet speeds, connecting with anyone globally (for free), and our ability to reach large groups of people without a middleman is nothing short of revolutionary. When it comes to technology evolution, this often happens with different iterations.  Once a system is mature, there’s a better idea of what we would like to change and improve.  We go back to the drawing board, target our creative minds at the issues, and create a new version that has evolved to better meet our needs.  The Internet has followed this model since its inception, evolving through three distinct stages.  We are only at the cusp of the third stage, called Web 3.0, with technologies such as blockchain and ...
