Bitcoin Forum

As we already know there are a lot of poor people in every country of the world, they surely do not have access to the internet and as the digital money is changing the world people are debating over the existence of real money all the virtual money. And as we know the government and the banks are printing more and more money which is reducing the initial value of the physical currency and all of this is going to be most painful for them. So now people are switching to the digital world so what should we do for the poor peoples should we make a system or let them take their life. I think if somehow we can make them literate then that is going to reduce the number of poor people in a country.

I don't want to be rude but just making people literate is not going to bring them out of poverty if they are unable to secure positions within their living spaces that would be able to lift them out of those conditions. If there is nothing that is being done in order to make it possible for those same people to get jobs and other things which can sustain them over a longer period of time then there's nothing that can be done to legitimately lift them out of poverty. Getting a lot of those same people to a point where they're also technologically literate will be a challenge.

Aint that easy to that.
You will need a lot of funding for it to go on. Maybe you could create an ICO to help the poor.  ;D

It will be their will. If they want to have knowledge about something that is on the internet then it will be easy.
Do you know how much people are using facebook now specially in poor countries?
Even the poorest can now access it due to smart phones getting cheaper. Internet access is also all over the world so it will not be hard to connect.

The real problem is there is no will. Laziness is still winning and they will prefer to browse their facebook page than read something about the crypto world. It is the truth and no one can stop it.

I have been there. Thank God he gave me the will to stop it and work harder.

maybe they should invest in crypto currency right now for long term

Some countries, on the contrary, do not benefit from the knowledge that the population is literate. Otherwise, who will perform the rough work. Perhaps with robots, the need for heavy physical labor will disappear and then we will be able to talk about the education of poor people.

Sure, make 'em more literate so their spam will at least make sense.  Eh, no.  Poor people have a lot more problems going on than just illiteracy, though that is still an issue.   

Bitcoin wasn't meant to solve problems like poverty, nor was bitcointalk, though I constantly hear people talking as if finding a "job" on this forum is the answer to all prayers. 

Poor people need to stop reproducing, that's one thing.  They need to be educated about condoms and so forth.  Bringing a child into a world of deprivation is cruel.  Can't sterilize them anymore, but you can hand out rubbers.   

Then there's the rampant substance abuse problem, then there's illiteracy and everything else.  Crypto doesn't help any of that.

You are right at some point, surely literate person or let's say those who finished a college degree will be more likely to get out of poverty than those who do not. If you will observe, poor people themselves make themself poorer, why? Well in our country,most of people always blame the government and they always rely on it to give them jobs or source of income rather than working for themselves. I mean people in general do not deserve help if they do not help themself. I have watched something that tells that if you got money and have a sustainable life, never ever give money to your siblings or relatives. Why? they will just spend it all for a short period of time. Rather than giving them money directly,  give them opportunity to earn money and that is the right time that you can give them money for their capital. Poor people does not need money itself, they need a source of income where they can be stable so they need to work for themselves and look for opportunities.

if so, it will take a long time for the poor to use the internet, we must teach them first. and it certainly will not be easy.
I have an idea, what if we make a charity forum, so every month all members bitcointalk. donate as sincerely as they wish. then the results we share to the poor to the whole world.
so bitcoin can be useful for everyone.
what do you think abaout this? Set aside, a little of our income for those in need.  and bitcoin can also be known all over the world.
(because sharing is beautiful)  ;)

The best thing that the poor people need to do in other for them to change their current status of poor to rich or average good leaving is to develope a skill that will make them relevant in the crypto currency world in other for them to join the millionaire in the crypto currency world.

What do you want us to do Op? Share our piece of the cake with poor people? No amount of money or bitcoins will gonna change the situation of the lowest class.
Some of these people (I am talking about poor people you can find in first world countries mainly) have chosen to be poor on their own.
Financial disproportions and wealth inequality is not something any cryptocurrency can change ever - the whole economic system needs to be changed first, on the most basic level.

I think that programmers should work on this issue. Only they know and understand all the peculiarities of digital technologies and where they can be implemented. But now the introduction is just everywhere. From agriculture to medicine.

If the invest in crypto then the odds of them trying to get more money is very high. They should not invest if they have no money.

The answer should be the same for any domain, whether it's crypto or IT services or whatever. If you are poor or live in a poor country, but you have access to the internet, you can perform services remotely and the relatively amount of money you could earn may be quite significant.

We had a remote assistant that worked 10 hours a day from a poor Asian country. She did everything we needed from backoffice to social media support. Google and Microsoft make it extremely easy and cost effective to collaborate remotely. We paid her than national living wage in UK and minimum wage in the US, but that was a ton of money for her.

The last thing I'd add, is make sure your English skills (written and spoken) are strong. That's the key to performing work remotely for the larger western markets that are looking to outsource.

That is by far the best idea people can do getting involved in crypto, the problem is most of these countries that are poor and are in need of raising their standard of living often times can't due to lack of education. One can't make bounty videos or articles if they aren't proficient in English. That is why I believe it is more paramount to focus the energy on the educational systems so that one day these countries can emerge from poverty not briefly, but for the entirety moving ahead.

This technology will be very beneficial for poor people in the world who don't have access to rest of the world, humaniq for example is very good project for people in africa.

There are indeed many poor people in the world in every country, especially in developing countries, this may be due to lack of experience for them, to help people free of poverty should the government can spread the internet network to remote corners in order to connect with the outside world and learning about business or Online trading, I think it can help a little.

Well, poor people don't have much money to invest in any risk assets as Bitcoin or alts, not even having Internet alone. I'd say they should find a job first and after a subsequent time of money earning, they can even think about going into something risky.

I would like to quote Jack Ma about the poor people around the world:


I 100% agree with Jack Ma and I'm sure that it very applicable to this market as well. I also don't want to be rude here, but as so far as interacting with less fortunate, I have never seen anyone who has the mindset to even try to alleviate their life eventhough you have given them a lot of opportunities. They will have thousand of excuses on their body. So I don't think that exposing  them to digital world would do any better, in fact they will resist it at any cost.

It may be a natural law that if there are rich people there must be poor people, but actually the government can help them by giving free schools and building uplands and providing access to the Internet and public facilities to support advances in the countryside and free people from the

The way to do is to provide knowledge and practice about doing business to them, because of their business will learn a lot. Starting from financial management and analyzing a financial problem. The poor are the ones who will not rise and learn when there is a chance.

well a lot of solutions for the poor person. you dont have to give them money, just teach them how to earn money for their foods. and actually they can do this bitcointalk but, if you say thats they is poor,how can they get mobile phone or computer or laptop if they dont have money because they are poor??

Read my thread "bitcointalk.org user loses $2,000,000 in Bitcoins"

I think the best solution is education.we can try as much as we can to educate them on the new revolution and how they can make money on the Internet. That is the same thing that a friend did for me and here I am now. Education is the best thing we can do for the poor.

If you're poor you could do some freelance work online. Some of the money you make you can invest in bitcoin or other crypto and with a little bit of either luck or patience you'll escape poverty.

It is true that most poor people do not have Internet access and many are illiterate, should the government be able to spread Internet access in remote corners of the island in order to make it easier to see the outside world and provide experience.

Since poverty is hard to eradicate maybe this is already a natural law or somehow, but with the government providing public facilities I think this will help poverty, especially in the hinterland.

Even if they have internet access,it will not work on them because most of them are computer illiterate.But making them expose to new technology and provide computer education and the like  can really help them to get out from poverty.Once they're literate enough,they can do whatever they want especially that there are thousands of online jobs existing today.But the best part is making them learned about bitcoin,i'm sure it would be their best tool then in making their full dreams realized.

and this is not a problem of cryptoworld neither of us,because to be born as poor is not an option,but to die as poor is foolishness..were given enough time to improve our lives and if you dont make actions to make it better ,so why must we care if you yourself has no care about your future.

You say very important things...if poor people will not  benefit from bitcoin i think that the revolution of bitcoin Will not be completed

I guess the world will always have disparity and unfair sittuations, crypto can't help it. However, poor peoploe at poor countries can make a difference doing some business into crypto world, making some money from zero; it's good but not enough.

Anyone with a Facebook account can earn something bitcoin doing easy job promotion for some projects.

I have one idea)Maybe our governments will issue for poor people some perspective coins instead of social benefits?)What do you think?)

It's not that simple to eradicate the poor, they more interested in surviving than investing, if you want to help them with crypto then you can bring internet access to their place, which is not too effective in my opinion, the government need to create more job field for them, although they are literate but without any job opportunities then it will be wasted, teach them skill will be the most effective way to conquer poverty

Though im not generalizing the poor people because i know there some of them has capabilities,but this forum wasnt created for them(but not also just for richer)this community relies on internet and stuffs from computer ages,sad to say this is not their world.why not just let the qualified and accessible do their path here,and those not stays in their community and took care of their crops..

I think it will be difficult to apply in the country considering the different societies of knowledge as well as in the limitation of education.

It would be difficult to teach Bitcoin directly because of their limited knowledge of this technology and their lack of reading ability. Should give them the education and skills to be able to read so that eventually can join Bitcoin, because I think joining Bitcoin not just by relying on computers or smartphones only.

Easier said than done. They have difficulty acquiring for the technology needed and have no access with the internet how much more investing on it. Maybe if you lend them the money for both then they can invest on it.

Their are people in this world suffering poverty, especially india I saw in internet most people their are so hopeless, no food,  and good shelter.  And they beg some help.  Why many people suffering like that.  If the government have money to give their people so why not to give them help.  Its so heartbreaking on what happen to other people in this world just like no mercy its so sad.

What skill is relevant to cryptocurrency world? I think the only one is trading skill.
Trading skill will help us gaining income from crypto. Trading is not only for young people but also for old people who interest and ready dong trading to earn money

Unfortunately, many people in third world countries don’t have access to computers. I think this is the biggest obstacle for the benefits of cryptocurrencies for them. There are several ways cryptocurrencies could be beneficial to them. For example, in many of these countries inflation is high so if they could store money in cryptos, it could hold more of its value. Also, in many countries, the banks charge customers to hold money so they have less money in the bank over time.

I think it would be really hard to help those people to enter the digital crypto currency world. We all know that to earn money from digital currency is to have access on internet. But how can we help them if even internet they does not have. They rather buy it a food than buying a internet connection. WE all also know that there's no free nowadays.

I don't think crypto money will help the poor.

Poor people use the Internet for a long time, and they rarely use the Internet.

The poor have different ways of thinking, and when the poor are in a competitive situation, they think I can't win and fear them.

Reducing the poor is mainly about reforming their education.

Dont be discriminative. I never heard that poor people is because of their choice.
Poor people can look from we were born so how can we choose become poor from in pregnant? Why we chooss become poor if we know many limitation of poor people? It does not make sense for me.

If I succeed, I will open a business for them. If we care about them, we can share. Bitcoin results can be made into capital. That way we can also share knowledge about the internet world and bitcoin. With that provision they will be independent. The poor can change their lives for the better.

You must motivate them so they are not trapped in their misery.
Tell them about bitcoin and cryptocurrency, then it will surely change them.
because both bitcoin & crypto changes our world.

If I think it is not easy to introduce the internet to the poor / poor because it must be minimal educated so many of them who do not understand this digital currency so that people who have a degree or high school should be able to go out to give direction so they are not illiterate and can get to know the internet

This is a job for the government but in our small way we can help the poor people by organizing events that may help them somehow uplift their living conditions. Giving them money would just be temporary but letting them learn something to earn money for themselves would be better because if they can't help themselves then you cannot help them as they will just always depend on you. You can organize seminars about livelihood projects in cooperation maybe with the government so that they will know something for a living.

Obviously, only a few of them have access to technology so it would be hard for them to have access with digital money but if we can help them earn money then they will be able to study technology because it would be one of their priorities now.

Yes education is really important for people especially to poor people, with education they can improve their life and they can know how to make money.. if we have a lot of knowledge we can share to them and give them motivation that they can have a better life in the future.

investing bitcoin requires funds .... may not be the right solution ... but mining bitcoin for is the right choice for the poor ... because bitcoin is a brilliant idea for the poor to make money.

Their are a lot of poor people  around the world  if only I have the potential  and powers of helping the needy I should we not have yet any solutions to preventing  poverty but bitcoin  is the one I think but it depends on the capabilities of a person

It's your opinion though the idea of letting these "poor" people learn or study this industry would be or might help them to pull their lives up. How? Since as I noticed that some of these "Poor" people are not really poor at all they might have only a tight budget to compensate there needs. But they do still have an access to the internet but they used it just to waste their time by just playing, browsing bullshit things and etc. If these people learned that they could generate profit within this industry then they might have the chance to change their lifestyle for good.


You contradicted your statement.


Just a gentle reminder that not all educated (who has a degree/s) are successful. There are people who really came from nothing that is now included in the millionaire/billionaire's club. It is indeed that education gives us leverage over others but then this does not apply to all.

Making poor people become literate is not going to solve the poverty or those people to become rich. It is also not that easy. We can't really solve thw problem.of poverty in our county. Even our government could not. And not all.poor people don't have access in internet, they have internet too . I Believe that people who are determined to aim.what they wanted in life will strive harder to success.

Work hard and learn the knowledge you love. You will have the opportunity to change your life.

Its been very favorable for those poor people if there is a group of people will introduce them about bitcoin and the new technology which can help them for having a good source of income or a bright future if they do so. But firstly they must provide a cellphone or internet connection to start learning about the online industry. Learning a bitcoin is not recommended either your educated or not as long as you  can read and understand english you can participate in bitcoin. Just do an extra effort to make it happen. Your life will change from poorly to convinience life living.

Poverty is everywhere. You are not free from poverty when you are doing nothing. Being poor is not bad and not your fault but staying poor without any action to make your life better is your choice. I think they are poor not because of government or because on kind of government administration leader that we have. I think they are have not enough knowledge and idea on strategy to make them life more better. If I have a chance to share my knowledge about bitcoin, I will share it to them to help them to a better life. I know they can do bitcoin even they are not educated because bitcoin is for all of us.

In my opinion there is nothing you can do FOR poor people.   People are where they are because of natural selection.     

The last thing poor people need is for someone to tell them that they need to learn cryptocurrency to become relevant. They are far too busy putting food on the table to even bother to know the difference between a real coin and bitcoin.

There are already many attempts to make these people go literate but they are not capable of enough to do ordinary thing because they are psychologically bound to the world they are in right now. Yes, that is very well known fact and they almost always end up loosing the hopes and we cant do much about it. There are already facilities for such people and if they are not interested then hat one can do? They are not even shifting to the traditional ways of working and how do we think they will be able to get into digital world at all? Thats far from the reality. However, attempts can be made.

Agree with your opinion
Education is a way that every poor person can know and dare to plunge into the world of crypto. In order for them to believe and have a firm intention to jump and pursue it.
A person with minimal knowledge will tend to have great fear in the new world. Especially if the so-called poor people are those who live in the depths.

it depends on their condition, every people is different and not same. if me my friend around me that really want to learn about crypto world, i will teach them step by step and make sure they can get better live with it. but there are some people which too lazy to work, and they not deserve to get it

Sorry to say this but it is very hard for that to happen and the government should be the first to do this if they really want to help people in poverty. Even if you can teach and educate them if they don't have easy access to payouts or cash outs it would still be in vain. A smart phone and internet connection can help them make money with campaign sigs. But if it is not easy to cash out or very strict in cashing out its no use.

No need for that, government are having budgets for their education and food and other staff, some people are just hoping too much from that. But, some other people from that line of living also strive to learn more about what's happening to the world, they started working hard to earn little by little and build up an little something for them and their family, it's up to them to improve themselves, but I agree if 'we teach them how to fish, for them how to get food for themselves rather giving fish for them to have somenfood'.

This is not as easy as ABC and making them computer literate will not make any people come out of poverty. Crypto currency is not a magic and not a solution to poverty. Yes, it can be a good way to earn money, however, take not le tgat not even everyone who are compyter literate are even aware of cryptocurrency.

It's not just money that helps many poor people!

They have developed the habit of eating lazy, backward thinking! Waiting for alms!

Teaching them to use digital money means nothing to them, because they only believe in fiat money!

All people have different initiative some are diligent and have perseverance in life but there are also people who are so very lazybones or opposite stated above.
We need to do is habituate the youths for their future.
I mean train them to become more responsible in life without depending to others . So in that way, when they become full grown person. They have the ability to survive for their bright future.

Is there any idea that poor people, without capital, could grow in the crypto currency market?
You have chosen the right industry and then :)!
Increasing bitcoin prices makes players get rich quicker, but also makes newcomers to the crypto currency market more difficult to start because the btc price is too high !!!
So getting started with crypto currency is not just a trade btc to increase profit but also more ways!
I would like to share some ways to make money from crypto:
- Trade btc is the fastest way to earn money in Crypto currency and is the most popular way!
- Investment ICO!
- An emerging way is airdrop, you can make airdrop without the capital!
- Teaching beginners!
And so much more!

reduce poor people in the particular countries is not an easy task and you cannot do that by yourself unless the government support your idea however poor people still difficult to change their life because in many countries unemployment has been increasing and indeed bitcoin can give opportunity to making money and reduce poor people but the access to get bitcoin is still limited

Poverty is a very complicated problem that is currently faced by many countries whose economic conditions are very alarming. and to cope with it I think there should be awareness of all people who have enough income and a fairly effective method is I think if someone is rich willing to help economically to one of the poor in this world I think the problem of poverty will be resolved it seems very simple but I sure it will at least reduce poverty.

True, it is not an easy task! Even the government having hard time on how to solve poverty issue. In our country there are poor people that are being supported by the government, but the question is where's the money goes or the money from the government is well spend? Sad to say because after getting the money we can see people spending it into gambling or even in buying alcoholic drinks rather spending it to some important necessity for the family. Anyways its their own choice we cannot blame them. As for me it is a choice of a person if he wants to get out from poverty, aside from the aide that is being given by the government we people should also work hard and make some means to have an income. Giving them enough knowledge with bitcoin right now will really help and hopefully they will also accept the reality that they need to learn and be ready to accept the fast changing world technology for them to be profitable.

You must start in your own community. Find the poor people in your community and help them be literate about Bitcoin. Then, you can spread your work to other community as well. Also, provide them computer or laptop and internet so that they can accessed to Bitcoin. At least you can sponsor their internet connections and laptop until they can provide for themselves. If you think you can devote your whole time educating the poor people about bitcoin and the cryptocurrency, then I will support you.

In everything, theres a way how we can help them.. always had.. the government, private people.. even other countries, they plan and organized such activities.. anyone can help not only in money, or material things or anything that  we had .. sometimes poor people need encouragement.. this will help them great too.. but all of you guys has an initiative to help the poor.. well if you made such organized project for our poor people.. iam willing to help you guys on your project what ever it is..

I think it will be difficult because to be able to have bitcoin must have knowledge in crypto, and if not have to have money to buy bitcoin in order to gain profit. But for the poor it certainly does not have enough money to buy bitcoin, so the only way they should know about the crypto world, and that is the problem not all of them have enough knowledge, sometimes there are those who are illiterate and it will be difficult for them to benefit from bitcoin.

You may start an organization that will educate the poor people about bitcoin and cryptocurrency. You can have them in one place, maybe in your house, and provide them basic literacy on bitcoin. After that, you can also give them free bitcoins to start in trading and investment. Start now in your own place, gather all the poor people and devote your extra time to them. In that way, you can help poor people to start in Bitcoin and be able to help them.

I don't think that making them literate will be the key to lessen the number of less fortunate people. Determination and hardwork would. If someone isn't willing to step up and go out, nothing will happen. Besides, cryptocurrencies are limited and is not the key to end poverty. People still have to find stable jobs in order to sustain their needs. Additionally, they need access to the internet and some money to invest as well. Would you think that they'll rather prioritize that than to spend their money for food and needs? Of course no.

For me i dont think that if we introduce bitcoin to the poor people they can get out from what they are now. Because they dont have the enough knowledge to learn about bitcoin and use bitcoin. It will be a huge change for them because it is on the next level, it is not what they are used to. I am not underestemating poor people but im just saying that it will cost to much money and time and besides we dont have the assurance that they will make a living in it. They have to be wise on making descision because for sure they will not waste their money for some things that they can assure of.

If thats gonna happened about the cryptocurrency world. And everyone will need an internet access. Maybe the government will provide an free internet access. In the public area. So they can get a free access for internet. But thats gonna cost a lot of money.

Your proposal is good but it will take a century to educate the population of the world regarding digital.

Few things why there are many poor than rich people.

1. Poverty is a mindset. People stay in poverty because they think they are poor and now way out of being poor. The world is full of resources and opportunity. Just only need and effort to activates those resources.

2. Government itself. Government wants their citizens to stay poor because they want to stay in Power. Hoard many of the resources and deny access to education.

3. Greed of the Oligarch. Oligarch always accumulate more wealth for themselves. If the the resources is will distributed to the people there is no poverty.

 

For the poor it would be difficult to invest in bitcoin or crypto, maybe the way the poor can do the investment in crypto, initially working in the offline world, and should be able to set aside some of his money from the work to invest in crypto. maybe it's the best way for the poor to be able to invest, and hope its economy can change.

For me bitcoin is helpful but probably this is not a solution to poverty. Because poverty is rampant and and it is a major problem of every country. The solution is, it depends to us if we want to continue our life with that kind of economic status or if we will strive hard, look for a better job to survive and also to have a better life. The decision is our because our future lies in our hand.

We are lucky to know how to bitcoin someone else because most people in the province do not know how to make their bitcoin depend on their farms so they do not have enough money and the internet is far away from them and they can not afford to hang they have no updates about bitcoin they do not need to bitcoin to live because for them just to know what they know.

True, their life depends only on cattle or farm produce. They will never know Bitcoin because in their area Internet signals are very difficult to find. So some of them are completely unfamiliar with internet technology.

I dont think poverty is a hendrance to being literate on technology. People should know that everyday our technology is evolving and every person is entitled to adapt in this ever changing world. So it is a challenge for everyone not only for those who have access to internet but also to those who are below average people to take a step forward and not letting time left them behind. Poor people will still be poor if they will not be active and remain passive as time itself is always moving.

The issue is not about being poor but our attitude.
I quite agree with you on your analysis . Our attitude says a lot . Some people are to lazy and are  contended with their situation so they  do nothing about it. The government is also not encouraging as you see the rich getting richer and the poor poorer.Determination can move a mountain . So if one is determine to get out of poverty his life will be better even if he doesn't get rich

Poverty is present in every country. Lucky are those who can afford to send there kids to school and give them proper education, food to eat and shelter to live. In countries where poverty is rampant, there are lot of illiterate individuals. They don't even know how to use internet and how to access it. In order for them to catch-up with the new innovations brought by high technology they need to be educated. Making them a literate individual is helpful enough to reduce poverty.

Every country has very poor people, but blockchain doesn't improve their lives, because many people don't even have access to the Internet, and they don't have the money to buy digital currency.

As we already know there are a lot of poor people in every country of the world, they surely do not have access to the internet and as the digital money is changing the world people are debating over the existence of real money all the virtual money. And as we know the government and the banks are printing more and more money which is reducing the initial value of the physical currency and all of this is going to be most painful for them. So now people are switching to the digital world so what should we do for the poor peoples should we make a system or let them take their life. I think if somehow we can make them literate then that is going to reduce the number of poor people in a country.

I think, the poverty of society in one country is the duty of the state.
we can not change anything for one's life or the poor. however education is crucial to the inequalities of one's social life. so, trying and doing many ways to get out of poverty is the way.

I am a poor person. But this has not been a barrier to enter the bitcoins. crypto currency. Everything is a way, and if you work on it I'm sure that the poor families can also have the convenience. Like me. which also came from that such a living system.

the reason why so many poor people in the world and in different countries are unemployed and not studying well in the absence of education to their children and others have been left out because their mother and father died so many people Their hard work is important for the education of children because they are also the ones to take care of and support them

I think the only way is that they need to get a small job, the government should give their attention to them because they need aid and financial needs. Cryptos can help them by investing just a little on what they can invest. Organizations can also be a help to them, movements from the society can also help them.

poverty is the result of ignorance and lacks much education and knowledge. and crypto or digital currency is not the solution to overcome it. I do not agree. because after all, a person needs extensive knowledge to get involved in the world of crypto and bitcoin. and the solution of poverty in one country, is the duty of the state to make the life of its people more viable.

I thought you were looking for poor people, Anyways that's a great idea. However, the worlds are very unfair I don't know why those rich people are getting richer and those poor people are getting dump. I agree with you I hope someday in GODS will they will be poured with blessings and stand again as what God wants to them.

wow! i think there"s no problem for being a poor as long as you strive hard, It doesn't mean that you are poor, so your illiterate. Poor People can still access if they just used their mind and knowing the alternative way of having it. Poverty is not the hindrance in joining bitcoin, so being poor is not the issue in joining btc. Pls.don't degrade that poor" will not rise and learn when there is a chance", not all poor are ignorant, I am the living testimony from poor and was able to achieve success in life higher than as what you have expected.

if I am rich because bitcoin would be my first idea would help the poor people so that the poor are no longer difficult if I help them
 

We cannot force cryptocurrency on people. There is no way every body will embrace cryptocurrency at the same time be it poor or rich people. With time cryptocurrency will get to every part of the world.

We are the one who made our life in regards to our status. My point is.., it's hard to help those kind of people if they also won't have their self motivation and dedication to do something that can help them to have a better life. Helping people is good idea but I think it's a case to case basis. Maybe we can give them some idea or advises on what should they do to make their life become better and after that, they will be the one to do the next step of how they fulfill it.

If you come here in my country Philippines most of the people are poor, don't have electricity, no technology and don't know about bitcoin, house is very far from civilization that no vehicle can access. I think this could be blame to the government because they are more focus establishing only on cities and forgot people far away from cities.
But it is also depend on person who has interest to rise from poor to rich, but it is too difficult as you look at some documentary from people here in Philippines.
I also consider myself as poor before then become a success now with the help of bitcoin.

Being poor is too hardz because as what I can see they can't eat delicious foods, they can't wear good dress, they don't have their own house some poor people sleeping beside the road, church, fountains, bridges. They don't have interenet connectionnl or even a phone. So I think most of them don't know what is bitcoin.

I think no one can remove them from poverty. we that are also needed? even the government that have access to all in digital currencies and fiat they did nothing to remove a poverty of a country even the most rich country they also have poor people's begging for money or food. that's why even those people become rich and have many money they cannot remove poverty of each country. all we can do is help them to break free once in poor life.

This problem will take time addressing. While this problem is as old as humanity, it remains very prevalent until now. The growth of poor people are much faster than the number of kind-hearted individuals. I think poor people cannot be eradicated in the face of the world. This is the truth. Nevertheless, we should not stop trying to uplift their living conditions. Crypto is a big help to them but we have to start somewhere. Some of them do not even have computers, or an internet connection.

Being what we want to be is a personal choice though some may not got enough lack to do so. I guess it is more of luck at that point, but yes, bitcoin is here to the rescue. We could give them a little start to do bitcoin so they could manage to have a fine start on it. We just really have to help them.

The time has been changed, in this new era technology many people can learning many skill without studying in college or similar. If discussing to change the living conditions of the poor with bitcoin, of course the most important thing is internet knowledge, crypto currencies technology, including social media and participate actively in discussion in some forum related.
If we have friends who have the same passion and want to make profit from Bitcoin then we need to learn from them.

Yes,digital money is now changing the world but to be honest on a few percent in the world knows about bitcoin/altcoins. Right now we are still far away from converting to cryptocurrency, people are still using fiat or paper money in digital form. If time has come that the finacial industry change and everyone uses cryptocurrency i think their government will be the one who will make the system for their citizens.

yes, if time will come that everyone uses crytocurrency, i think the government will provide public free wifi so that everyone can access the internet including the poor people.

I agree with you. Not only free wifi access but also free digital currency tutorial or education to the public. In order for the poor peoples can understand and can able to join the trends.

Well, I think the same as you, give the poor access to the crypto market. Although they have no capital at first, they can participate in bounty programs, earn initial capital, then get acquainted and invest in ICO or BTC projects. I think they will soon escape from poverty, have a better life. Hope that this becomes a reality in the world.

It is hard for poor people to climb on their financial status but it is not impossible. I think people need to know about bitcoin

Theres a lot of poor people in every country also here in philippines its hard to help the people to use bitcoin because they need an internet to access in bitcoin in able to some poor people can understand to be able to join the crypto currency. Only goverment are able to help poor people if the goverment help people to access a free wifi its better and its a big help for all those poor people to start join in bitcoin and to start to earn money from bitcoin.

I'm puzzled with what you men on "let them take their life" Bitcoin really is in trend right now, that's no doubt.

But if you're thinking that poor people won't survive the future because bitcoin would be the main way to do transactions and they won't be able to cope up with technology. You my friend are completely wrong.

No country would ever remove fiat system because its the standard way of transacting.

This is the reason why people who are capable of earning cryptocurrency are in the huge advantage so we should not look on bitcoins as a bad thing because it helps people to come out of poverty and live a wealthy life.

Literacy is the only way to get rid of this problem.We can't let the poor go,but can make them literate.We can launch different kind of vocational training and can teach them how to work with digital currency.Here,government has to play a role.Then the poor won't remain behind of the light of progress.Again,Internet facilities should also be broadened so that it seems easy to the poor to use digital currency.

The only answer to the poverty is to empower them with a practical education that they can use to uplift their standard of living. We must understand that Bitcoin is just another form of money and it is not a magic stick to change the world. It all depends on the ability of the user of exploring and exploiting the opportunities. Since Bitcoin is decentralized, anyone from any corner of the world can access it. However, education/knowledge is the concrete solution for this cause.

"I think if somehow we can make them literate..." -- Are you under the impression that literacy is tantamount to being poor? You are definitely in the wrong here because there are many others who do not have internet access or access to a particular website because of government ban. Some others do not educate about the birth of financial innovations because it is against their norms, religions, and accepted practices. It is not so much about being poor economically and illiterate all at the same time but more of a custom that is difficult or close to impossible of being changed. Such custom is so deeply engraved that there is no way to change it unless the populace is kilt.

It is best to help them to use bitcoin. If they do not have the ability to properly handle or understand. We'll just point it out to them. If your heart is so kind and sweet, then. And you want to help? you help, it helps you to be kind. :) To many people who are poor to have a dream. Dreams come to poverty. Hopefully someone appears to be able to teach the poor how to earn money on bitcoin. It can help reduce poor people in a country. :) The bitcoin gives a lot of help to people so I hope we share it with others so that they will be fully blessed too. :)

Poor people who have great dreams will manage to step up and overcome the poorness if they really want. There are solutions for everybody

I actually just mentioned this in another topic, but I guess it also applies in this one.

I really think that governments or volunteers should make use of crypto to set up some sort of guaranteed basic-income.
Just enough to basically get rid of poverty and there should be no strings attached for receiving this.

There will be less and less jobs in the future anyway, so a solution like this is what's going to be needed.

I think that this depends heavily on their government, the implementation of poverty reduction policies, improving the level of people. Thus they gradually improve their knowledge and access to computers, and they will learn about bitcoin. So they have access to bitcoin. We are an individual who can not help them.

Maybe it would be better if we set aside a bit of profit from bitcoin to give to the poor at least able to make additional money for his life

I think it is a good idea you have. Not everyone though is easy to teach the value of cryptos. People would finance or business backgrounds could understand its impact but normal people especially poor people are too busy surviving than learning new things.

I think we should teach about the digital world and blockchain to them, so their lives change.
we can not abandon them because it is so powerful that we leave them because this is the future to change everyone's life.
I think here is a way to reduce poverty in various countries, so it's no problem if we teach this to them.

This is fantastic, yes, bitcoins are not the source of ending poverty. There is a huge number of population on this forum talking about bitcoins as the wonderful solution for taking out the poor from its world and making those rich. Although, as you have said, bitcoinsare source of earning money for poor’s as well but that doesn’t mean bitcoinswill end poverty. A good chance they have to get out of poverty.

Yeah nowadays there are a lot of poor people every county in the world. They don't have a good platform to work for their livelihood. We can make solution about this problem by teaching them about bitcoin. Government should make use of crypto to set up some sort of guaranteed basic-income for them.Internet facilities should also be broadened so that it seems easy to the poor to use digital currency.Because people need to know about bitcoin or digital crypto currency.

For new in crypto or poor people  maybe  take and partipate airdrop and join a bounty campaign signature campaign or airdrop signing form  its my suggestion  and be patiebt also

Poor people become poor  some of them are because of their dizziness they have complete parts of the body so why not look for a job to gain money because for me even if you are not totally educated as long as you have initiative you can earn money in a right way. There are some also become poor because they already accepted that they are poor their tired to look or to strive hard to become rich. Others also are just waiting to the right time to become rich without atleast trying harder.summary is people become poor is their choice.

The best idea for poor people is to join the signature campaigns. They need only internet for that. They can start like this

I don't know how you define "poor", but in most developing countries, the poor make the effort to learn about new tech if it is going to be beneficial to them i.e. help them receive and spend money. For example the statistics of Mobile Money usage in Africa is off the roof, and there is a large percentage of poor on the continent. That being said, I don't think poor peoples concern are about tech, they are more concerned about making a living, if opportunities are provided for them to work, and make a decent living that world be a better program to create for them; the digital payments/cryptos can be taught to them for ease of transactions, at that point there is an incentive to learn about the tech. There is no point trying to teach or create a system for them when their stomachs are still empty.

If we are talking about African countries it might be difficult. First, they should focus on getting enough food, water and other things that you need to survive. I doubt that many residents of these countries would have phones to pay with digital currencies and even if they had one they would probably use it to store their life savings which would be easier for muggers. The problem is their government and a part of the community. I can't imagine how it would work.

poor people will not remain poor as long as they will work hard know some strategy to survive and to become rich.i am one of the poor people in ths world but I try my best to not stay poor.i learn about crypto and I earn because of it.so like me other poor people can do this also if they really want.to become poor when you was born was not your faut but to become poor until you die its your fault

Well, we can make them educate and teach them how to used computer and accessing bitcoin in a digital world in a meantime. In a problem with internet connection many countries have already improve there internet connection by expanding signal towers and ect. and they are reaching almost countries like africa one of the uncivilized country but they have already free internet connection. There is no reason of internet problem today.

It is always expected that the poor must be in our midst. Regardless, the number can be made minimal if and when the rich and the average living tend to give a helping hand to elevate them. This could be achieved by spreading the cryptocurrency news to the poor - impacting them with the basic knowledge; creating a system where they can access the internet and other facilities and also helping them with start-up funds.

The most important thing that could changes poor peoples life is by support their education, healthiness and place to live. When all of the things supported they could improve their quality of life. Cryptocurrency could open the field of work for them.

Yes offcause if a poor one really want to break through,effort is needed to do that,if the persons is not a computer literate,an effort should be given to it,the world itself is a digital world. If this effort is met  such ones can be helped to invest in cryptocurrency  

I don't think digital money can make life better for the poor. Poor people have a hard time getting access to the Internet, they are less exposed to digital money, and they have less money to invest in digital money. Digital money is a tool for a few people to make money, and it won't benefit all investors. If the poor learn more knowledge and skills, it may be easier to improve their lives.

maybe we help them by providing an employment or small business from the existing capital we can of the bitcoin, need not be fancy or large above all they could find of his own money in the future from their own efforts. with bitcoin can at least grow eases them later.

many people are hard because of their life situation and hard work for good and great salary and if you are mad at your life then you will harder to survive ..

I agree with your opinion. Poor people should be given more facilities, so they can live more decent. It should also be taught about Education, as it is very important to improve their thinking skills. If they are able to follow the education smoothly, surely they can be taught to join in this forum. Finally, their lives get better because it has gotten a better job.

There have lot of opportunity to earn money from bitcoin and other cryptocurrency. So if we want to involved the poor to earn from bitcoin. Inshallah they can earn from it and also can able change there life. So, this is a  great idea to involved poor people to cryptro world.

I think the first solution here is to make the internet accessible to anyone, whether poor or rich. A lot can be achieved with this solution. After this, everything will follow. Cryptocurrency will reach places it is supposed to reach like 3rd world countries. This will encourage everyone to invest in cryptocurrency.

Yes, this is a great idea, but for this we need to help the poor people have to tell about bitcoin and understand what bitcoin should work on, so we need to make a separate school for them only In this poor people should educate and help them in every way so that the need for the Internet can be resolved and it is very good idea that we think about poor people.

I am not a hero to provide income for the poor. I think it is the country that has an active role to protect its people from poverty.
crypto is not a good solution for poverty because it is very necessary knowledge and of course capital. btw, poverty is caused by ignorance and education.

My idea why is many poor people in this world it because of there own decisions in life,some of them lack of strategy in life and others rely on other people just like solicit just for there needs in every day and i was pitiful looking at them and i think it because of the government also that they did not help them to have a job that fit there ability to work and if i was given a chance to become rich in bitcoin im welling to help them to improve their life just like sharing my idea on bitcoin to them because i want them not always rely on other people and for those thing that needed for them to work in bitcoin i will give to them so they can start a new life,and in that way i can even help with their poverty.

you cant carry all the burden in this world as what bitcoin is,we must remember that the balance of the economy is define on the status of every countries.thats why theres comperition to get high.the logic is same with the poor people.yes its not their fault that they are poor,but its not bitcoin problem too.so lets do our business and let the poor do theirs

Teaching poor people btc transaction is not enough. They need to secure money for themselves and for their needs. If ever they start accessing btc, they need to sustain long term internet and they need to have gadgets in really good condition. They cannot just fix themselves on the beginning level, or just stay there. They need to develop. They need money for investment too,  because sometimes, it's not enough that they joined campaigns, most especially if they have a family to support. They cannot just wait until the ICO ends, they need money to buy their everyday needs. It's difficult but if you have all the riches, then you can share it to help them.

I think if in any single country has make crypto community would be help a lot,  but also I think the easy way to help a poor people is just with real money or stuff. So just make a big money with bitcoin and share to the poor how much do you want,  the point is how your charity would useful for them.

I think poverty is not a destruction but is a foothold for struggling to move forward because making poor people is a lack of will to fight because a struggle does not disappoint any of our circumstances, this is an idea that can be tried by the poor.

See there is nothing wrong that poor people using the latest technology and even making money from bitcoin but who is going to provide and educate them , the free school system is a complete disaster , charities don't ever reach them and many more drawbacks if you remember akon charity brought light to so many villages if the government wants it can easily end poverty but it doesn't do it

The perception of a specific country in regards to classification of rich and poor is not a good thing in terms on the economy because in some point having a pyramid which gave us an idea of having an upper class and lower class just established a bad image on the daily living of a individual. We are all equal on much more things, so having same opportunity is a vital thing to have a good economy.

There are rich and poor people in all the countries. A state of wealthy and poor is formed. Although I'm newbie, I have some idea about the poor. Bitcoin is a valuable currency. The people around me are working from Bitcoin to the poor from being millionaires.If all the poor people are associated with this work, their financial condition will change which is good for the country,i think .

it's all just a matter of their lack of education or a lack of willingness to learn so they have to face a miserable quality of life. Try to think, how different people who have the education with people who do not have education in an effort to get $ 50? certainly very different, is not it? While those who are not educated have to drudge here and there, the educated people just need the internet to get it. That's the real problem.

Poor people are always don't know about internet and online currencies they only knows the normal paper currencies so they definitely don't know about bitcoin and it's uses we don't have any other to teach them the only way is linking bitcoin and bank and putting Bitcoin ATM in all cities to improve poor people to bitcoin users.

We are here in this world full of opportunity out there and it is up to us how we are going to explore things out, we have no reason to become poor because a lot of job have vacancies and a lot of online job out there awaiting for us, so if you are still poor then it is your fault anymore.

I agree. But we are not given an authority to do it to make the poor people literate. If they discover digital money I think only few of them will become interested. They love the way they live in a simple lifestyle. So even we eagerly teach them still the decision is upon them.

agree, I also think that the poor people of this era are their own choice. I still keep an appreciation for those who are still working hard every day for a bite of rice than those who can only be begging at the red light while they look still able to work. Life is hard, we will not be able to live better just by depending on our muscle only.

If you did root cause analysis of being poor, I believe you will find that the main problem is overpopulation. Even when you are qualified, you can't get jobs because there are no job vacancies. There are free schools for the poor but they are over capacity. I think the government should concentrate on developing farmlands as in the future, food will be a more valuable commodity than any other as the population keeps growing. More jobs and food on the table from crops and livestock.

we cannot do anything about that. their government must take an action to end the poor.
what we can do is, spread the word about bitcoin, about cryptocurrency, so they can heard and change their life.

With effort you can save some money even if you are poor. Save and invest. Also, join the bounty campaigns

Yes it is beneficial for them if they are not having any money to invest and it will not change anything without any investment signature campaign will allow you to have high profit every month, if you are well talented and you have the knowledge for bitcoin it will let you use your knowledge constructively, joining the signature campaign is the free way of earning money, I use this to make money it is really very good and I can easily carry it along with my job as an additional source of income so it double benefit.

I'm surviving in Venezuela. Even when i consider that i'm pretty poor myself for now(Since i'm barely starting), at least i found the way to afford internet connection(With less than 1mb) and that makes me feel more fortunate. What i mean with this is that i see how the corrupts ruling the country gives people small gifts. For example, for registering in their system and getting one card called "Carnet de la patria" which you need to have access to free health and other stuffs, which i personally don't use since i prefer anything than selling myself to some dictators, and also to the woman who gets pregnant, which makes them get pregnant only and exclusively for that. I know, it sounds crazy, but it's what i see everyday.

If you give too many free stuffs to people they will think that it's their right that you maintain them, or give them anything they want. So they don't study, they don't spend time making themselves grow to become a much better person and of course, they don't work. But the last part is that they will have this egocentric attitude, they will think that they are the best in the world because you are giving them free money, which only makes society a lot worse and creates really bad quality people.

Bitcoin is an amazing opportunity to leave poverty behind, no matter from where you come from and where you started, thats what i'm trying to do myself. But you have to leave the sweat and blood on the floor and keep going. That will teach you the best lessons in life.

By that i don't mean that you don't have to help anybody, i always donate 10% of what i earn(Not much for now, but i have faith that it will be a lot more in the future if i continue improving myself) to charity. But pick the right charity, something that for example helps people which otherwise would die and educate them to work for themselves, not maintaining it forever. It could be a refugee for pets, since is not their fault that irresponsible humans are around or really small kids, it's not their fault neither.

It's a matter of giving opportunities to the people who is willing to work really hard for them. I will continue no matter how difficult things are here to work towards finding those opportunities and god knows i won't let even one pass by when they come.

I think the poor in the world need to do a new innovation and develop skills that can make their lives change for the better.
There is plenty of evidence that people get rich because they invest in bitcoins, and surely they must take advantage of this very profitable crypto world.
But indeed the government should play an important role in this regard to provide free internet access for all the poor, because with government encouragement they will start joining the krypto currency, and they will earn revenue by following the campaign in this forum or by searching for free sites for get bitcoin.

I feel sincerity in your words, because you are living this situation on your daily life and somehow it's similar to what happened/happens in my country. That is all true. And I would say many poor people aren't willing to literate themselves, even if they had the opportunity, because they are on their confort zone, receiving pennies from these evil governments that only intent to keep these people on the ignorance, so they can reign over the wreckage.

And for these poor people it's fine... It's acceptable. That is how they were told to behave since always. And there aren't possible solutions on short/medium term. The damage these socialists/communists caused in Latin America will take decades to be totally repaired.

Poor people in every country has their own dignity. We already know that most of them want money for daily needs and their are some that is contented with their daily lives. These kind of people no longer exist in cryptoworld coz most of them cannot acess internet.

Im am in a third world country that most poor people has live here.I can say that i belong in the 2nd level of being poor.Knowing bitcoin is a rare chance and despite of the hardships that i encounter in my daily living i find ways to stay away with this curse..and this is my chance i know i can survive in all of this eventhough its not easy to get full access on the internet but i still manage to be here in this forum.If poor people would be able to know this virtual currencies existence it can lift up their way of living if they work hard on it..but i dont think they will adopt it because some of them were looking it as a scam..they were loooking it negatively so we really cannot say that bitcoin could change their future that could lift up their way of living.Its just depends on how people adopt bitcoin in their lives.

without state povertyprotection, seriously only god can help them,

The definition of the word poor depends on the country of a person. For instance, in some 3rd world countries, people who are considered poor are capable of accessing internet connection that brings them to know cryptocurrency as an investment.
For sure, people like them, when  given the chance to invest will either invest on bitcoin or wok for it.

According to my opinion, poor people do bounty before. Then they can trade with the money or bitcoins they earn from here. if they make money from here they can mining.

It is a good opportunity given by Cryptocurrency/bitcoin to all especially to the poor. The major barrier would have been literacy/education in the knowledge of Cryptocurrency. Funny enough, education is been made available to all the poor and yet graduates are poor because no job and lots are not aware of the opportunities in Cryptocurrency. So, there are lots of poor graduates now but getting the good knowledge of Cryptocurrency can really help to resolve this.

First of all, it's not accurate to say the poor in the world do not have access to the Internet. Cellular phone penetration in some of the poorest nations is very high. Right now more people own cell phones than computers. And since cell phones are small and portable, their owners can access the Internet wherever they are.

For a project that is very focused on reaching the unbanked of the world, check out the DNotes thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1924858.0). DNotes is about to launch its upgraded version so the price will likely jump in about a month or so. You might also look up SMART Cash, which is a community lead project and currency.

If there is anyone that states that they can't afford Bitcoin then the they are prolly thinking about purchasing an entire Bitcoin. Bitcoin can be purchased in smaller quantities.

It might be the case but there are a few poor people who literraly make some history that being poor is not a hindrance to achieve dreams in life. It is fact that poor people badly need money as what normal or middle class people do or even upper class do. I think nobody's hyprocrite about it. Though the protection is not fair for them because of lack of budget or any around. As what we can see over population is also one thing that triggers poverty it should always balance the salary that we get to our children's or family needs and of course with a right technique of budgetting.

I think we should create a system that can help the poor and people who are not connected to the Internet network. other than that for people who have poor neighbors then they should help their neighbors so that poor people can join also with crypto currency.

Poverty is present everywhere across the globe, but it is certainly not a hindrance to reach ones dream in life and be successful. We can create a platform to help poor people, so it can change their way of living and earning. Existence of crypto can be life-changing.

there are many kinds of difficulties that count in our society problem solving problems so as to grow our economy well-run with self-reliance not to rely on one's own life a problem of poverty flowing anywhere you can be incounter this as a citizen I can make all I can and can grow the ability and enter the world of crypto currencies or include virtual money or digital money that can flow through the needs of people so that I can improve it for people who are short of demands to address their social problems.:)

A very brilliant idea. With the thought as you said above, there will be a great many people who including the poor will be helped. but still, we can not do it alone. At least we have to have great support from a group or organization. That way I'm sure what you point out later can actually be realized.

comments above are right, bitcoin is not the initial problem but the availability of technology for them, the knowledge about the technology or literacy, the ability to avail this kind of technology, the interest of these people and last is the knowledge about bitcoin.

On my own opinion there is no such people we call poor.Its just they are not lucky enough to have a good job with good salary.Eduaction may change the flow of there life.But i think its not also good if all  of as will be rich.3 level of  life style High class,Middle Class and Lower class.Im not prefered to call low class as poor people.its just too rude to say that.

Interesting post!

So how they can invest if they are poor? Funny sentence.
So no money and no invest. We should have fund to invest in crypto to get profit but its very difficult for them to get even not much money to invest in crypto.

What a grand suggestion? Are you retarded? Do you really believe that the poor people can afford the mining rigs which are needed to mine Bitcoins (or other types of crypto-currency)? We are talking about people who can't even afford a smartphone.

Most of the people around the world have many poor people because of the leader of their country their are lack of education,no job most of the officials of their government are corrupt. And it will result to their economy of their country it will going down.

The situations of poor people can so pathetic that they don't have access to any tangible thing that can turn round their lives, the poor will only think of how to get his/her daily bread, making them literate and having access to internet is another area where the government had failed due to lack of basic infrastructures that had not been put in place.

I think the important thing to do first is to make the poor computer literate. Help them learn about computers and information technology to further expand their knowledge about technology. After that, provide them with computers capable of connecting to the internet so they can learn about cryptocurrency and possibly invest on them.

Education will probably be the single biggest helping factor in reducing a poor economy or poor persons standard of living. A close second would not be having a corrupt government and if you notice something poorer countries and corrupt governments go hand in hand. If we find a way to remedy these two situations, the whole world would prosper no doubt in my mind.

I like it talking about empowerment. The poor ones also have a willingness and natural skills they can utilize in order to survive and get a better life. It's just any work practice or job opportunities can be considered.  

Education is the most important thing I guess.
It may change the flow of your life.

People do their best in order to succeed in life no natter how hard it is to live, especially the poor people like us.

 we can to educate them about cryptocurrency and how they can make money on the Internet and provide knowledge,practice about doing business to them, (bounty campaign) then they get the token, we teach them for trading and exchange for money.

they have to learn about cryptocurrency and know about what are the benefits we can get if we invest in cryptocurrency after learning all about crypt currency they have to invest in a perfect time. then only they will be rich in furure.

Ilon Mask have thought already about poor people trying to make global wi-if net  ;) This global wi-fi is excellent solution for countries of 3rd world and poor people at all. I hope it will be realized

Yes,  this is the best solution by spreading the news to the poor people. So that they will know what is cryptocurrency is all about. And what is the the benifits brings by this creation. To educate them how to use internet to acces bitcoin transaction.  Is a very big help for this people so that they will be guided about the cryptocurrency.

When they have  the chance to know about bitcoin it's up to them if they will be interested or not. The person who is interested to bitcoin will do something great beyond limitation. He will make the boundaries of mountain destroy to let bitcoin reachable and put it in the hands. He will do the best he can do, while on other hand the person doesn't have interest will do nothing.

Well, i have an idea to bring out poor people in that situation. By helping them first. We ask permission to bitcoin organization by providing same as donations, addressing to poorest by helping them in financial support to provide funds to spreading knowledge and additional internet connects like towers and etc. for the country just like what africa did. Having a free wifi sponsord by Chrome Google.

I agree, it would take a long time and will prove very challenging to educate them with digital world. The number of uneducated members of the population has direct relationship with poverty incidence. However, I wold dare say not all, cause there are a lot of personalities that have not even finished high school but are pretty successful.
The first thing to do would be them helping themselves, then help from other would come naturally - say from local government providing livelihoods. Cause if we just give them help without their initiative, then that would be tolerating their behavior. Though I also, don't mean to be rude in that sense.

The poor, low-income people can still access the internet to learn about digital money because there are, so many internet-based businesses in the country. The cost of using the service for each hour is very cheap, so they still have access to it.

Not all poor people are illiterate there are some are still interested to learn and there are some have talent and more knowledge in internet even if they are poor because of interest to learn they make a way to follow there dreams,they cannot only proceed to continue to finish there study lack of financial and they prioritized  how they can eat three times a day,it depends on the person how he can go out of poverty for pursuing there goal and ambition it only needs of mind set of being positive on self trust and confidence.

There are lot of poor people are living in this world. In my opinion, first of all thing is EDUCATION, which can improve these people life better and can elevate their standing of leaving. Because EDUCATION play a very important role to more forward for any country.

Any idea already here on the forum was said. If you are without a penny in your pocket, just try to participate in bounty companies.

Personally I think that you can't do anything in this world without a proper education. Making people in poor countries literate is certainly a step in the right direction but the underlying cause of poverty, in my opinion, is the system those people live in. In African countries leaders live in mansions while people starve. If money that is being spent on well-being of minority of "royals" was invested in education or infrastructural development that surely would be a solution for those people. Now speaking about poor people in countries that are well-off, I think that most of them are poor by choice since they haven't used the opportunities that have been presented to them by being too lazy and educating them about cryptos wouldn't achieve anything since they simply wouldn't be interested in it.

Be sympathetic and believe in btcoin  8)

If you apply to a society where digital currencies rule, then first you need to have at least a computer and Internet or some kind of gadget to participate in trading and investment.

If the governments of these poor countries don't develop the economy, education, infrastructure, this bitcoin will not help here. They must create the foundations of the economy because they will never get out of poverty. Typically, in such countries there are a few rich people who control all the country's resources.

Thats the one reason why we can replinesh or the cash way of money because not all people can afford digital devices and credit card for their living so it should have a many option on paying something so that all people can access on it.

Being lazy will overcome you into poverty and being poor is not a reason for not being use into cryptocurrency by being poor make it a bases to do bitcoin as an opportunity and be a solution to solve your financial problem.

I cannot see any chances that poor people get in touch with digital asset. They are mainly aiming for foods , clothes and shelter not this kind of thing. First thing you need to have for this is a technology, smartphone or a basic computer and surely a money is necessary which they are hard to keep and earn. So i must say bitcoin chances are not for everyone.

I think poor people should invest in crypto, because crypto is risky, but it is very likely to make a good profit for the poor, even if it loses money, it has little impact on life.

Actually there are so many poor people in every country.  poor people don't have so much money for business. my opinion, this technology will be very beneficial for poor people in the world who don't have any access to rest of the world.

I'm also a poor people i do bitcoin in internet cafe when i start but when i cash out i buy phone so now i have phone. I have a plan in next cash out I will buy my Own Computer or a laptop maybe. Bitcoin is a big help to poor person like me on this year.

I have the same situation with you. I am a poor person and have only been in the crypto market for a year. I had quite a bit of profit from doing signature campaigns. That job has really changed my life.
I was very happy to know about bitcoin. It not only changed my life, it changed the lives of so many people. Poor people need a good job like this to develop their economy.

play bounty in market place ;D

I actually did a video for a project called DBRAIN, that is going to be an AI platform for dataset improvements in order to make apps etc and this is going to be a crowd working platform that will give millions if not billions of unbanked people in developing countries the chance to do really easy tasks and earn an income through the DBR token which they then can sell and use to buy their stuff they need to live on. I truly believe blockchain tech is here to stay and help provide a lot of people with work.

Create your own structure to come up with an idea and make a start-up for promotion and collect money from investments for your future.

I would be very interested in being kept in the loop on this project. Sometimes I like to do little tasks to earn some quick cryptocash too, but mostly I'm interested in the bigger picture. Can you please PM me or post here more specific information on your project and if you have an email update list. Thanks :)

its easy to say because yournot them.but why not try to put your feet into theyre shoes and you may feel whats this post is all about..they are not aware of what is going on here,because they dont even know whats this.OPs concern is when this community will be the basis of future,what will be the world can offer them?this world is not only for riches but for poorer too

We can donate or exchange Bitcoins for their education and opportunity to have a their respective jobs. Also we can share what we have in this Bitcoin community so that they can earn and have what we have now.

I think bitcoin can benefit poor people.they can make  themselves self.reliant through bitcoin work and they can earn it through

I have an idea, that is, if we put some of our money away from hard work. With the accumulation of money donations are quite a lot, we can be able to build various infrastructures. The infrastructure can benefit the poor. Beasiswa we can improve the quality of education for them, so they can get knowledge and information around the world. Thus they can change their fate and get better in the future.

Exactly, bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies don't have much to do with helping the poor people. The main problem for the poor is overpopulation. I personally live in India and the poor people here have don't have a sense of family planning and their numbers just keep on multiplying. They need to be educated about this matter as it is pretty important. If they can't earn a living for themselves how are they supposed to take care of a family?..
Apart from educating them about this situation we can donate some of our money to charity, I think that is all we can do.

Not all those who are on street and you think are poor are really poor.  There is no way we can help them but givig free educational system.  Also bitcoin cannot be used by homeless people or poor because they would have any way connection with bitcoin. 

You can collaborate with big floors like binance bittrex in your community building process, or link manager to your telegram for co-workers!
I have been doing so, after having enough capital you can learn how to invest in coin and ICO!

That's a good insight. The reality about those who can afford and those who can not. My perspective in here is that if donations to certain far flung areas wherein access of the internet is limited, those who have more money should donate and educate those who are illiterates, they can be knowledgable of it and eventually earn it.

how can they invest here if they dont know bitcoin and also if they can trust bitcoin because more people dont believe in online investment, they think it is a scam. So maybe we should introduce bitcoin step by step to make it clear to them.

being a poor is a choice,if you put yourselves in that situation then you will called a poor but if you initiate and exert effort to do business or you are determined to be knowledgeable specially in investment  your situation will level up not as a poor individual.

You raised a good point. Poor people in my country do not have any idea about even the promotional schemes launched by government for their benefits. This condition is after government spends a lot of money on advertising those campaigns.

At such, I think very less umber of poor people might have even heard about bitcoins. Also, to make good money with bitcoins one should be aware about proper strategies like when to invest and at what levels one should withdraw the money.

For me , i would say, start saving from time to time andbwhen you have enough money, invest it in bitcoin.. you cant do anyhing by being poor but youbsurely have a say where you will end up

Besides the fact that poor people need to be taught bitcoin, they still need to be financially provided with a computer, a smartphone and the Internet. And for that we need money. It is unlikely that there will be a sponsor-philanthropist who will Finance it.

I don't agree with the idea of literating poor people to the fullest extent. It will of course influence their lifes. But it is not the solution of poverty. If millionaire bitcoiners think about investments about poor people it may change their lifes. Unfortunately the rule of game is sad. People can not be rich with think poor people.

Probably the best action would be to educate people, especially the poor ones. Because ones a person is educated, he will have many options on which job they want to have. For example with education, people learn to read and write and with that, they will have an access to the internet and from then learn about the benefit of cryptocurrency such as bitcoin.

Poverty in all countries is a state of mind. Everyone can become rich for as long as he needs it.

Such people have more capabilities and talents than other people but the only thing that creating a gap between them and success, are the resources. If such potential resources are provided, they will make a history of their abilities and talents. We have seen a huge successful stories who become marvelous when they were given a chance. So let them grow and make their lives easier.

Not all poor people want to make a lot of money, they are satisfied with their modest life. Earning in bitcoin requires a lot of effort and time, and not everyone will do it. In addition, the initial investment is required. Where to get the sum for investment to poor people?

In my opinion, Bitcoin and digital currencies are already helping the poor and unemployed people around the world. Access for Internet is almost available worldwide, even in the poorest countries, and the citizens there can connect by phones if they haven't computers. We only need to teach this people more about crypto currencies and let them know more about it.

You stress out a really good point here. well, crypto are make common people richer. So let's just hope that among those common people, some of them will have a better heart than our actual leaders who wanna lock the system, and use part of this money to take action in favor of the poors.

Poor people can be part of bitcoin. In here we don't need much more money for investment. We can start from zero until you have money paid by the signature campaign that you joining.Time comes your investment will double its amount which depends to the value of bitcoin.

Anyone is able to earn more by participating in the cryptomarket world. However, governments are not supporting it, especially in Asia.
Like banning crypto or mining, it's only for the poor, the rich always have some way to avoid the laws.

Of course, this is a noble idea, but where do the poor get the money to invest? Yes, they could earn cryptocurrency using bounty, for example, but for this they need a laptop and a stable Internet. Unfortunately, very few poor people have such equipment.

I think your wrong, some and many poor people know about the internet and how to use it, in some places where I visited there are shop offering low fee for using internet, some kids are just playing and some adults have the basic knowledge of it, but the thing is they don't know about Bitcoin.

The idea is good but instead of helping them individually, I think we should cooperate with the local government. Because there are a lot of less fortunate people and helping them to be more literate needs a lot of time and also a budget. This type of problem is really not our concerns but with the government, just because we are humans who are naturally good, we somehow find solutions to help them.

Ironically in most 3rd world countries the uptake of newer digital technologies is faster than most lower level 1st world countries. By being behind they skip a few generations of tech and have less unnecessary infrastructure.

Even if the people is poor, if they are motivated to earn they will find a way. What help we can do is to introduce them to bitcoin. Guide and teach them what they need to learn. The sad part is we cannot be a super hero for poor people but we can widen up their knowledge so they will have option to change their life if they want.

I think poor people can be taught on learning how to earn bitcoin as long as there is enough resources to be given to them such as donations to conduct seminar.

Poor people depends on the leader if the corrupt the nation or the people will suffer the many scuatter who only eats once a day . Also affects poor people the lock education on population control  there are household with 8 to 10 children how could you give them a good health.

The fight against poverty is primarily the task of the government. Of course, the population should also be interested in this.

There are so many poor people in each country. Basically, if you take a look these kind of people doesn't exist in cryptoworld. Most of them can't access internet. However, to those poor ppl want to join btc they have to do more research in bitcoin coz once you join bitcoin its not easy.

For poor people  they need to be educated first, they got to have right information about anything and motivate and challenge them and teach them patiently about life and something related to earning a living before introducing cryptocurrency to them.

Poor people needs to reprogram their minds before they have any shot of fighting poverty and until that is done even when a billion dollars is give to the person, they might end up misusing it completely.

Poor people are the hardest category of people.They need our help most.Even a little help is important to these people.These people are helpless.The state should help them.First, they need to be provided with a place of residence.Some poor people don't have a roof over their heads.It's very sad.We need to give them help.Just imagine yourself in such a situation, it wouldn't be easy for us at all.

We all know that there are places where technology is out of reach. Usually these are the countries that has a lot of poor people. How can they prioritize technology when they have an empty stomach?. The government should do a better job on providing opportunities for the poor so they can take care of themselves. It is a long shot but they should focus on that first. Educating the poor people will not work because they don't even know how to use the internet. Its sad but its the harsh reality.

Yeah!! Reflect on your poverty and think of ways to better your lot. Poverty is terrible and can make you do alot of terrible things.

Poverty is the main problem in each government so they have a lively hood program to help poor/indigent people to improve thier living. If thier interested thats more better

I do not want to judge someone who is low but I will provide theoretical support for them to get out of poverty, maybe they need knowledge through the internet but I can not impose their will to change or advance themselves all can not be separated from efforts to change it

In my opinion, moving from the current currency to digital won't change their lives.

Anyway, we could help them, we could teach them how to use bitcoin or even give them our old gadgets so they could try how to use digital currencies. But I'm sure that they will just go back to where they are comfortable.

In the near future they will earn to cope up with this technology, when everyone else is moving then surely they will.

We should help the poor people,we need to educate them about the crypto currency and provide them the needs so that they can join or adopt to the changing world of currency. Specially to those who live in the area wich Internet don't exist.

Giving out money or other kinds of donation do help the poor and needy people but the need is to direct your energies and efforts in raising them, building relationship, teaching them and moreover, regaining their self-confidence and self-esteem to work for themselves.

Doling out money to poor people is only a short term solution. Making them literate is a first step but the problem is even is a person could read and write, what's the point of that if that person couldn't understand what they read and wrote. What i suggest is to actually educate people equip them with the necessary skills to be globally competitive. Since crypto currency is on the rise, let them have a crack at it. It could be a great starter for something way bigger.

As I have said earlier, handouts are never going to help the poor people in the long term. It may or may not have a positive effect for a short duration. But in the long term, it can destroy the self-esteem of the poor and can make them uninterested in learning new skills and values.

My idea about poor people is not all about you dont have a money. Its all about how was your relation to our God who can save us.

Poor is one of the biggest problem in the world. People make themselves poor. Everyone has opportunity to work out and make your life much better

create extensive jobs. and give them knowledge about how useful what is around us if we can cultivate or transform them into a source of livelihood. Because basically, the lack of knowledge about that is what causes them to continue to face poverty.

The idea is to give them a job. we speak the poor for our environment.

we can open a food business and invite poor people around us to work together.

Things like that alone will have an effect, not just a plan

You are voicing serious concerns and I am afraid giving the access to digital currencies won't help them. They don't have food to eat, and that's what they are worried about. They just need places to go and work, and I think they will be satisfied if they get such a chance (and governments should be mainly concerned about it). They won't even understand when you try explaining to them what cryptocurrencies are... :(

I agree with you. I noticed this tendency, the poorer the people, the more children in the family. And these children are mostly poor too.

Are you discussing about Buddhist economics? I think this way can help for issue of poor.

Every year the life of poor people becomes more complicated, constant inflation, high taxes, a low standard of living, many people are below the poverty line ... it's very sad ... but tell me how things stand in reality? many people are just used to being constantly someone who needs something, and it's already difficult to do things themselves, people have become lazy, they are used to living like that, they do not want to leave their poverty swamp, we know many examples of how people climbed from the very bottom and became successful until a person sets the priorities for how to live on, he will remain at the bottom. but a new history with the crypto currency market, only this confirms. start small and God will give you a chance to escape from the shackles of poverty, and sit on the couch and say that everything is bad, it's very easy.

I think they can't do anything with that - they can't get good education or job...May be some other countries can help poor countries and people who living there.

The government need to help to poor people in the country. They need IT education and internet with computers to discover investments in around the world.

the state has helped but the officials in government are corrupt. so with the goal of prospering the poor with a percentage of 100% because the tampering is only 5%.

so the poor in the country are all caused by his own government.

Yes education is the key but the time required by the key to open the lock will be for many long decades or even milleniums

It is true that the poor in every world is always there, and this is a serious and difficult problem to solve. Because they are patterned minds who only think during this day can eat also be grateful. So the lack of motivation for him to live better is not possible. and the thinking of the poor because this is what we must change. and indeed the learning limitations are quite difficult for them because they think rather than spend the money and take the time to learn, the better I do a job that makes less money. It is also difficult to enlighten though by teaching the internet to them, due to the limitations of those who will ignore the internet. then this is all a difficult homework for all of us, but the small thing we can do is to give alms to the poor.

If a couple is having 12-13 children, then they will find it hard to concentrate on all of their education and upbringing. So it is no surprise that in most of the cases, these children end up even more poorer than their parents. In order to prevent this, the parents must be educated first.

There are types of people ; the pursuer , easy go lucky , and some are lazy . Some of poor people , they knew that they are poor so they are motivated to do hard in order to change their lives, some are they used to be poor and wait for opportunities and grab the chances and some are not willing to do anything that's why their lives has no improvement , we can help them by means of financial , money is just a money , although  money is life today. But money is not only what they need, they also need a lot of motivation , and inspiration specially for those people who are not willing to do anything to improve their life , they need to study in order to have a decent job , but they need financial in order to study, but like what i've said the key to get the key is to motivate them in order to boost their willingness to do hard.

so why is it there are so many poor people in every country, it is because of corruption, some countries have their leaders that are so greedy interns of money, so that many people suffering to their life. 

I think the poor are people who have no digital money and real money, even if countries around the world are implementing digital money systems that need a lot of money and have to make a very good system in managing digital money, and I think few countries are using the digital money system because there are so many to consider and have to prepare whatever needs in need of digital money, and can not all people in every country all use the money,

from ancient times poverty is very difficult to remove .. because the attitude of man who will never be satisfied in all things.
if the rich are not greedy with material, surely everything in the world will be at peace, there is no more fighting over money for food, clothing, luxury, beauty, and peace

The best way to help a poor person is to educate him/her and make them
literate.With the advent of new technologies in block chain, cryptocurrency
and all, an inquisitive but literate poor person can break even making digital
money.A poor person can always bridge the gap in our time involving in  crypto
business which can be started by being a bounty campaigner which is free of charge.
All it takes is your cheap internet connection, registering and promoting good bounties
via your social media and all.In less time than envisaged, you make some crypto money.
Who knows, the value may appreciate such that you become a fiat millionaire.

For me the cause of poverty is corruption, why is it there are so many poor people in our society, it is because of our government officials that are Greedy interms of money issues.

I'm still a poor man, but I know a few rich people who know how the rich think. When I have a chance, I think: it's a very profitable business, and I like to do it, how to do it well, how I should do it, and how long it will take to make myself at what level. But the rich man's idea is: it's to make money but have more money, if input and output than how, how many people will be willing to pay for this, when would you be able to sell it now, when you need to transition.

Even if we literate the poors and tell them about currencies, they will never think of buying them. instead they will search ho wto live better life.

Dont have any ideas regarding this. Please somebody help me out. i too want to help.

Not just education will do it. We need to provide them money too to buy bitcoins or can wait a decade so that they can do so themselves

Get doing something meaningful,and never lose hope

If you talks about some African people, then I do not agree. It seems to me wrong to invade their culture and change something for ourself. But if yoy speeks about people fo oer culture (America, Europe), I agree.

Untill and unless govt takes any steps regarding this, we the common people cant do anything thats simple

The global economy is based on inequality. In order for some countries to be rich, there exist others in poverty, providing the cheap workforce for great enterprises become more and richer. This is obviously unfair on so many levels, but also how the system works.
If you want people to stop being poor, there is too much that needs to be done, and it will take decades or even centuries.

Crypto world can maybe be a tiny first step to drive humankind into equality. But, as every history process, it is going to be slow and bloody.
Now, to build computers, phones, and such, there are illegal mines in Africa, were children lives in horribles conditions. Us, in the first world, just can go to a shop and buy a phone, a computer, clothes, &.co, made by slaves. How to change that?? All my life I've tried to spend my money only on fair stuff, but this is impossible to achieve.
How can we change this huge system?? I dare I can.

Poor people they are the people who smile even theres is great trial in their lives.

In our country there are many poor people. First we can blame the government since they cannot provide education,  job and shelter to people. The funds were corruoted by those people in the positions. Next,  we have also to blame the people itself. They have no discipline. They keep on increasing their children. They dont think of their childrens future. They dont care if they can provide enough food to their families,  if they can send them to school and provide the basic needs of their children. Some are lazy,  they depend on what the government can give them. There are lot of ways on how to earn money,  all they need to do is work for it. Proper education is needed to eradicate poverty in a certain country.

You can help the poor by fighting for equality of opportunity and economic growth. Other than those two factors, the most damning aspect of poverty, especially in Indonesia is not a tangible lack of resources, but a lack of hope. People believe that, through honest means, they will never live any better than their parents did and that causes a whole host of problems. Work to give the poor that hope, and that belief that they can fulfill their dreams. If that means a meal or an education, do your best to provide it.

Literacy doesn't mean that they will not be poor anymore. I mean i knownof alot of poor people who are still very much literate. But i think you mean that people should be educated? Or even have computer literacy so they can be introduced to crypto currency right? That is a good way to go. I mean there are alot of internet cafes where they could work long enough till they have their own rig and work from home. Then again, there are other things to get money from and that is where creativity comes in. I think it depends on the person how much he want to work hard.

We can deal with poverty of the mind first.No one is actually poor but they have that mentality that they are poor.So what we can do for them is to educate them about the untapped riches in this world so that they can begin to see the reality of becoming rich,believe in it and then it becomes a reality in their lives.Yes we can help poor people but not by giving them money but rather teaching them how to fish.

I still believe in the notion that a person is born poor and it's not their fault, dying poor on the other hand is a different matter all together. A person given a chance and is wasted would be their fault and must live out the consequences. Besides, it's not just money that determines your wealth. We can always live off of the land. If that is not enough you move, cultivate the land and live off from there. There are alot of things a person could do to survive. It's just a matter of perspective.

education is the realest closest tool  that can bring change in people's life whether it is uplifting them out of poverty or making them aware about world. different people around the world have different circumstances which leads them to make the choices they actually make so people going 'poverty is in mind' have never been on the other side of spectrum. education about money, opportunities, how different systems work can help poor people in a efficient manner and help them to get out of the vicious cycle of poverty.

Poor people need someone who will help them to their daily lives. We, all of us and the government of a certain nation have the responsibility to help the needy.  Giving a free education, job and  a place to live to the homeless. Everybody in a country must contribute to make our community improve.

I believe education is the key.
But regarding crypto currencies, I do not think they can change much. The gap of rich and poor would just become more widen as richer people have money to be invested but poor have barely something to eat.
What can be a big positive though is the blockchain technologies and their ability to observe stream of the money: for example, when donating to some poor country we could watch where does money really go. I think this is really something necessary due to the big corruption.

One of the reasons why most poor people fail to leave the poverty circle is due to their refusal to accept their status. Until you accept your status as a ppoor person you will not feel the pain of poverty enough and until you feel enough pain of the bite of poverty, you won't gather enough enough energy to escape the hold of poverty. Many that are poor spend the resources they would have used in making capital investment on covering their real status forgetting that wealth is a product of calculated attempt to build a cashflow and not a mere impression people make on others. So start building your cashflow today if you want to leave the circles of poverty.

The problem with Bitcoin is that it needs at least a smartphone and a stable internet connection to operate. Although there is the 90% of the world population that can afford these, we should not forget about the remaining 10%.
