Title: Countries with weak economies can use cryptocurrency instead the dollars.
Post by: cleofila on October 11, 2017, 04:55:46 PM
Countries with weak economies and unstable currencies can use not the dollars but the crypto currency as a reserve unit. With such a statement made at a conference on the 20th anniversary of the independence of the Bank of England, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Christine Lagarde.

What do you think? Is it possible?

Difficult, if a country has a weak economy, there will be little cash around to buy BTC to begin with. You may also consider that a poor country will have poor infrastructures, I mean poor phone networks, and slow Wi-Fi.

I did not heard anything about this news, nut may you are right. I have a question, buying bitcoin in this day is only being deal as a currency business and those people invest in bitcoin who have extra money to invest in bitcoin and make more and more money, how can the people with low income cay buy bitcoin and use it instead of dollars, because dollar is just a currency and bitcoin is a currency and business too?

Yeah it would be very good investments into Bitcoins. Their values will be rise.

That's certainly possible. For now though, the USD is much better for reserves. A country cannot risk a crash whenever Bitcoin dips. It may happen in the future, but I'm not counting on it.

to completely replace the USD function I guess that's not possible because digital currencies have weaknesses in their use, and we know bitcoin has a dependency on internet connection as well as electric current.

BTC is likely too volatile for a nation to use it as an economic backing unit

I think it could be possible to help those weak economies while using cryptocurrency instead of dollars since bitcoin is a virtual currency online they can slow adopting and make business with bitcoin that can help them to deal outside more faster using bitcoin also they can getting benefits of the price So they can build a strong economy in the future because of bitcoin..
Dollar will be still dollar and its a pysical money and bitcoin or cryptocurrency will be still alternative or virtual currency can be use but they can help deal outside with bitcoin..

Only if there is existing or make a bitcoin mining farms on that country, I can’t see any logic on that. How? in the first place those on that area can buy bitcoin without fiat currency. Maybe you mean boycotting Dollars or they do have local currency. I think it should be more detailed as it will only put confusions.

A country with weak economy will not be given loan from central banks if they don’t accept dollars, so it is literally impossible.

The same people who said bitcoin was bad are suggesting that if be used by weak economies after these same countries have always followed their model of having a robust economy then ended up where they are today and to still being rubbed on their faces that they are weak economies.

What I see here is the IMF coming out to push countries beyond their capacity no country should be forced to take that route to development every country should be allowed to develop at its own pace without anyone pushing it and that's exactly what I am seeing the IMF is currently doing.

I don't think that's possible. For starters this would be against America. Her whole economy is built on the fact that the whole world uses as a reserve currency, the dollar. Another very important detail is that no one knows how long it will be bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. I would recommend Christian Lagarde to lead by example and to keep part of the reserve, IMF bitcoin.

there are both possibilities that the countries with weak economies may or may not use cryptocurrencies instead of dollars as with weak economy there are very fewer chance that the people would buy bitcoins in the first place . also , if somehow they do manage to buy they would have to use it as a business currency which will be difficult.
but if they start using it the economy of there country may rise and there will be development which will be good for the country

I really want to understand how they want this to work out because countries with weak economies have among other things inflationary problem if bitcoin is now introduced, it then means there would be need to first start with capacity building for the entire population on how to use the new currency in a safe way which is not cheap at all. With the ever increasing price of bitcoin, it then mean the value of goods and services gets to change every time, that is adding more instability to the system that is ready weak.

The IMF has never helped countries. They are just trying to drive the country's debt and get control over them. Countries are poor because they come to power thieves and corrupt officials. Instead of helping under its control to restore the economy of the country they give the thieves money. Bitcoin can now help in the development of the economy so its use is unacceptable in the backward countries.

It's a good idea, because we have to remember that there are countries out there with currencies that are basically dead. There's a reason why people in some African countries are using foreign currencies (mainly USD) instead of their local ones. This is also one of the reasons behind the rumors of incoming bitcoin acceptance in Vietnam.
Currently 1 USD =22,715 VND and they even have 500k VND bills, so there has to be a lot of millionaires in that country ;)

I think it is possible as it is a great idea for a country that is weak in economic status but I guess some strong countries or even banks will hinder this kind of move especially those countries that have a big debt to them.

Bitcoin is the future of an international digital currency for me and with that I am so confident that it will boom even more if there is one country that will take this opportunity and set as an example because it will become a chain reaction and some other countries will follow it too.

That would have been great for them,but don't forget countries with weak economy equally have weak networking systems.This will go a long way to impede the progress of the use of crypto currency in these areas.

What they can do atleast is to make the bitcoin legally and some improvement in the network especially in the urban areas. Also tax little less for the bitcoin earning this will encourage people to start earning bitcoin and also people form other countries may look to setup their and if some facilities are provided this will add the boost to their economy to alteast some extent.

First, I think the only real candidate for reserve cryptocurrency is Bitcoin, as it has the most PoW and the most responsible team of developers who hold security as their prime value- any other coin would be extremely risky in this situation. If Bitcoin will get mass adopted, I'm sure that governments will start using it as a reserve currency or asset, but until then it still would be a quite risky move and governments usually try to avoid risking when it comes to economy. Right now Bitcoin's legal status is not fully defined in most countries, so there's some risk of it getting outlawed in some parts of the world and this can discourage many governments from adopting Bitcoin as their reserve currency, not to mention all other potential risks that can make Bitcoin crash. But converting 5-10% of a countries reserves to Bitcoin might be a smart thing to do, since it can make a huge returns in a couple of years, not to mention a longer terms like 10-20 years. And the other cool thing about Bitcoin is that it's public, so it's impossible to steal from a treasury without everyone immediately knowing about it, so countries who suffer from corruption might benefit from Bitcoin.

It's not a good idea. Countries with weak economies need long-term loans with low interest for modernization of the economy. It is the absence of corruption. How bitcoin falls under these conditions. In addition where to get a large number of bitcoins? No bitcoin is the ability for people but for the state bitcoin useless.

I think Op really means is by profiting by it and not totally using it as a currency in a country because if the economic situation is weak and poor the bitcoin profitable power will eventually help out. Building bitcoin mining farms is an alternative way and they’re citizens can work or gain the advantages of earning through investing in cryptocurrency.

Post by: entrepmind23 on October 15, 2017, 03:49:46 AM
It is possible but it would be difficult because if the country has already a weak economy then its currency would be weak as well that would make it more difficult to buy bitcoin. They have the option to mine it themselves but given the situation that the country is not that progressive then I would assume that it has low power as well and a technology that is not that advanced. There would be a slower wireless fidelity and maybe the people are not so aware yet of the existence of cryptocurrency so it would be hard for them to use it if they don't even know that a cryptocurrency exist.

It's depend on their policy against bitcoin.

If their government allow but still not legalize bitcoin, people can use bitcoin with their own risk !
If their government legalize bitcoin, everyone can use bitcoin as their main transaction

I don’t understand why most replies take what the OP says as if Lagarde was talking about bitcoin. She is talking about creating a cryptocurrency, one controlled by them.

https://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/13/bitcoin-get-serious-about-digital-currency-imf-christine-lagarde-says.html

What we see here is what we have already seen some times: establishment realizing that cryptos are a movement too powerful to ignore but as they escape from their control they want to create a crypto to be the legal one and the one they can control.

I think it is not just possible but should to be like that! How long the use of the US dollar as reserve currency will support the USA and their politic?! It's just not fair that one country set the rules in the world.
I think moving on crypto-currency will give freedom to poor countries and it is not going to be profitable to any other country, so the use of the crypto as reserved one will not make richer some other country.

This is not possible, dollars have already build their reputation it should continue to help these weak countries in order for them to rise. If the weak countries will rely on bitcoin, how can they do that than even their government system needs to upgrade of their old technology to catch up the latest technology? Most of these weak countries technology are left behind even their education system because they cant afford it. We all knows that adopting bitcoin should need the latest technology to work like computers and the internet if they cant afford it then it is very impossible for the bitcoin to exist in these weak nations.

I don't think it will work. Countries with weak economy also have poor education ratio, poor infrastructure and lack of technology awareness. This will resist their citizens to adopt the BITCOIN as their official currency.
Moreover, BTC transactions are decentralized, so govt lost their control over the economy and no govt want this to happen.

This is how it works and we can’t do anything about it,, using dollars is a political tool and if not using it means the support from western countries especially from United States of America is void.. And taking that actions is bad for the government interest and economical relation to central banks.. It is more than money we’re talking here,, it is more than an alliances and dependency to one nation to another..

Adoption of bitcoin by countries with weaker economies could pose another threat as the expected effect could backfire. For being a weaker economy means the country's need does not matter in the scheme of things when it comes to world politics and in this case, if the world power decide to take a drastic step towards bitcoin, it then further worsen the already bad economy of the weaker country and that's why there would be a lot of skepticism in deciding whether to accept bitcoin or not even though they might know its an option to consider.

There are indeed many considerations for any country that has a weak economy to adopt bitcoin, although on the other hand it will certainly have a positive impact of legalization that for a good economic change for some users who have the ability and capital to make various efforts. in bitcoin, but other than that of course for those who do not know bitcoin will not benefit from such legalization.

I am sure that States with weak economies will choose the tactics of expectations. They won't ban bitcoin but it will not prohibit the use of bitcoins. Their goal will be to collect taxes from bitcoin users and to gather information on them. In case you need to ban crypto economy, they will know who does it.

I don’t think so that this option is likely may happen where in the countries which are not yet developed will use cryptocurrency instead of dollars in the world trade market.
They are not yet capable enough to embrace and accept this kind of opportunity since they are not yet technologically advanced which is the primarily requirement in their system.

Absolutely yes, It is a  good idea that the poor countries which have a weak economy can use cryptocurrencies. As well, If this happens, this will be a new beginning for the economy of many countries and this will positively affect many fields ( like, improvement of infrastructure, and a decrease in unemployment rate, multiple employment opportunities..).

In addition to that, the governments of powerful nations may not accept this solution as this may adversely affect the economy of these countries. In fact, I think that in the near future these digital currencies will be recognized by all governments, but this may be on terms because they want to control currencies and they are afraid to be used in prohibited things( like, drugs, weapons...).

Using crypto currency as reserve for countries with poor economy cannot
be a guaranteed solution to economic viability and stability considering the
high volatility of crypto currencies.Hence, a planning government need not
use such platform as a guaranteed reserve  for its economic stability.
You can only invest and trade in crypto currency with a budgeted amount.

There’s is a different pressure that this country may face when they use cryptocurrency than dollar that most countries opposes and the financial sector is critically affected. It will affect the economical connection to the rest of a much powerful first world investors that will look this move as a bad sign. I’m not against it, if this will help that particular state or country but reality is, politics works beyond jurisdiction if money is involved.

I don't know which helped the international monetary Fund. Therefore, the opinion Christian Lagarde is not my authority. We cannot achieve consensus within the community. The management of the country's economy even more difficult. The use of cryptocurrency is only possible on a primitive level. The state can use it for good or to declare war on bitcoin. But this is the worst option. In war there are no winners. To lose the income.

I think I can explain the whole thing to you. Christian Lagarde and the IMF at large don't care which currency or cryptocurrency a government may choose to use as their reserve currency as long they don't stick to gold. The real owners of the IMF know what's what, they know that Bitcoin and the rest of the pack are not a danger to them as well as international bankers because gold is the only true equalizer. Qaddafi was killed when he had tried to start the gold dinar, a reserve currency for Africa and beyond.

It's upon to each country, it's possible, and only advisable if the country has nothing to lose. Bitcoin as reserve unit is too unstable. I believe the main idea of a reserve unit is to have stability on long term, something that Bitcoin doesn't guarantee us. What would be a smart idea for weak economies is to use Bitcoin as reserve unit, but not only Bitcoin, splitting the total budget among some investments. Like 10% in BTC, 60% in Dollars, 20% in Gold, 10% federal securities...

Decreasing risks like an investor do on his personal life.

Like 10% in BTC, 60% in Dollars, 20% in Gold, 10% federal securities...

Decreasing risks like an investor do on his personal life.

Government reserve funds aim at preserving value not so much increasing it. That's basically why developing and wealthy countries like China, Russia, India are huge buyers of physical gold. They know that when there is no more IMF, dollar and bitcoin, gold will still have value. The US may declare some country's holdings of US securities as illegal or just freeze them like it happened to Iran's dollar reserves. But they can't declare illegal gold. And even if they tried, that would only "make gold great again"!

I think bitcoin can help the country with have a problem with economies, in bitcoin people can do investment for long term, can do campaign, etc.
Bitcoin already change the people life, they can help their family, friends and the others. Bitcoin not stable yet, because of that the value still profitable more than dollar/gold. So bitcoin still best investment.

State for the same reason can not take out loans in bitcoin. Cryptocurrency allows only to attract private investments to the country. But this is happening now in any country.

Technically, any county can try to ride on bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency and use it as their main currency. But it won't be a practical solution for day to day transactions as of this time yet. Cryptocurrencies are also very volatile which may see wealth wiped out within just a matter of days if not hours. Imagine the panic in the streets and major online exchanges shutting down due to it being unable to handle the volume of transactions in situations similar to a bank run.

It is very interesting to see the result of Venezuela's use of the Petro in the coming months in relation to this question.

Yes, such a statement is entirely logical. But here it is necessary to bear in mind that this is suitable for countries with unstable national currency, and the crypto currency should go in parallel with the national money. Trying to replace national money with a crypto currency for a country with a weak economy will be simply disastrous for her. Even a strong state is unlikely to withstand bitcoin volatility, the country's economy will simply be feverish.

That's why it was pointed out that states with a weak economy and an unstable national currency can use the crypto currency only as an alternative currency, rather than the main one. That is, the crypto currency should only go in parallel with the national money.

I strongly agree with this, certainly in a weak economic country will be difficult to find the required infrastructure.

It seems to me that that's not the reason. It is easier for any government to take a dollar loan. Who will give credit to the government in which the officials of the Treasury? Dollars for the United States is just a piece of paper. If you need them print as many as you need. Americans do not lose anything if the loan is not returned to them. But for that money, they get a poor country that never pays off its debts.Such a country can be easily managed.

I do not this is entirely true. Countries with weak economies base their local value currency on those countries with strong economies such as USD, EUR, GBP. At the end of they day because crytpo is not fully regulated with the local government and currency, payments in crypto will have to be converted into fiat money, and the local fiat value is based on "popular/strong" country currencies, and if crypto value falls against them, it will also affect the value of the weak economies.

I think that is correct because if the country will keep a huge percentage of Bitcoin it is like they also keep a huge percentage of dollars reserve because the value of Bitcoin currency is base on dollar value as the main currency of the trade therefore it is better for these countries to adapt and legalize Bitcoin as investment as it will reduce the unemployment and increasing the purchasing power of the people making the economy to become strong and stable.

You're wrong. Recently, we saw how the price of bitcoin fell presumably after bitcoins were sold to the ruined mtgox exchange in the amount of 400 million dollars. On a state scale, this is a negligible amount. How can a state use such currency? The IMF was created in order to destroy the state. For this reason, Lagarde gives such bad advice.

Yes, I think that this is quite possible. Countries with a weak economy, where inflation is too high, and the country's economy is unbalanced, can use the crypto currency, along with the use of its national money. In this case, bitcoin or other crypto currency will be able to protect citizens from inflation. However, in this case, the crypto currency can not completely replace the national money, there is a hidden danger to get under the influence of other countries, where such a crypto currency will be actively used.

I do not fully agree.
Having a weak economy has its negative implication towards its development in infrastructure, innovations in technology, and corruption. Assuming that a country is underdeveloped, its resources are allocated into an hierarchy of needs, which I believe that cryptocurrency is under. They must first tackle the the issues in their country which are more prevalent, rather than changing their payment system. In the event that they focus into changing their payment system, this will lead to catastrophe in the market, considering that most hegemonic countries are against the utilization of bitcoin.

That may apply to a large part of the people in such countries, but in current days it's almost impossible to not know what's going on with Bitcoin or crypto in general. Great thing with crypto is that for those who have enough knowledge in their own interest field, which could be a writer, coder, designer, artist, etc, can make that knowledge and skills be worth an income here. One way or another, these people will eventually be able to help themselves move further in life. If you surrender yourself to all the negativity and lack of opportunities in your country, then nothing good will ever come out of you as person.

How do you know the demand for Petro grew? I have not seen any exchange on which this cryptocurrency is traded. I heard the Russians want to sell parts for Petro. But this is not an indicator of Petro's popularity. Putin supports Maduro and will do everything he can to support Maduro. I do not believe in the popularity of public cryptocurrencies.

that would be a difficult prospect because the crypto currencies are still very volatile and that would spell further economic problems for a weak economy because noting in that country could be stable , the cost of an item would also have to be volatile for example if your using bitcoins and you bought an item for re-sale and the price for a bitcoin went up that would there fore mean that you would also have to amend the price of that item to reflect that increase. That would make absolutely no sense as you would have no idea exactly what your money is worth or what portion of goods it would pay for.

Why should the state use cryptocurrency? Fiat's money, too. Initially, Fiat has real value and any government has the opportunity to support this value. But the problem is that the government doesn't know how to run the economy. They are always spending more than they earn and compensate it at the expense of inflation. They cannot exist in a fair economy.

that would be a difficult prospect because the crypto currencies are still very volatile and that would spell further economic problems for a weak economy because noting in that country could be stable , the cost of an item would also have to be volatile for example if your using bitcoins and you bought an item for re-sale and the price for a bitcoin went up that would there fore mean that you would also have to amend the price of that item to reflect that increase. That would make absolutely no sense as you would have no idea exactly what your money is worth or what portion of goods it would pay for.

I think it's not the main problem and reason,First of all governments can not control cryptocurrencies emission,despite the fact that usually there is  limited supply and cryptocurrencies are making emission with mathematical algorithms and not by central administrators and central banks.So just imagine how much electricity do they need,For example let's get bitcoin,Bitcoin's energy usage is very hug(For example as I remember correctly in Iceland bitcoin miners used more electricity than citizens for their daily need in one year).This is a very complex issue and needs distinctive approaches,Special structures must consider every details to do something like this,new power-stations,Hydro station,solar energy,other alternative energy sources,etc.

The main point is that you need enough currency of your country or dollars to purchase cryptocurrencies. It can be problematic in countries with weak economies for obvious reasons

This is not a problem. Many countries buy electricity abroad. If the price of electricity does not exceed profitability, I see no problems. But this problem applies only to miners. Normal users don't consume a lot of electricity. Now the majority of miners are concentrated in China. They ensure the use of cryptocurrencies around the world.
