So many people are interested in amassing wealth without giving a dime to the less privilege around them, yet they will still be among the first to criticize the government in its failure to eradicate hunger and poverty in the country. You should also know that the duty of eradicating poverty must not be left to the government alone. You must also contribute your quota.
 
If you have worked to be wealthy or lucky to be one, you should see it as a social responsibility to help the less privileged people in the society. If I may ask, do you feel comfortable driving past several beggars on the street when you have billions of money in your account that you or your entire family may not be able to exhaust in the next 100 years?
 
Think about this seriously. With the so much money in the world, poverty can greatly be reduced if not totally eradicated.
 
All that is necessary is the distribution of this wealth.

There is enough to go round.

Note:
You must not necessarily give physical cash or money directly in order to help the poor or the less privileged. You can set up an empowerment scheme where they could be empowered or work to earn a living for themselves. It is like teaching them how to fish instead of offering them the fish directly to eat. I guess it is best that way.

Giving money to the poor can only help in a short amount of time it doesn't improve their lives in the long run because you don't know what are they going to do with the money. This is the risk when helping people so others turn to charities but helping charities has its own risk too because you can't track everything and what they're going to do with the money (lack of transaprency).

Other poor people rely heavily on the government for their needs instead of relying on their own. They've accepted their fate living in a poor lifestyle and doesn't want to change for the better. With that being said we can't eliminate poverty, reducing it is one way to maintain/improve the problem from getting worse.

You think being wealthy is luck, lmfao..

I'm not even that wealthy and it's just luck that I have made all of my income from, it's just luck that I choose to spend my money on things that hold value, it's just luck that I haven't pissed my money away paying interest on loans and buying things to throw away..

I believe in equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome..

Poverty can be eradicated by employment. I am just disappointed when an university graduate they prefer to work for someone else in a company rather than making a small job that can least help someone who has less economy.

Allowances provided by the government or from the surrounding community will not give him a comfortable life, they won't be able to manage where the money will end. So as, even though we help them by just giving free money, it will make it useless.

Just two way to give the lives of poor people be better, one gives him a job and the second makes an education so that he can manage the money he has, for example he can innovate to make a job with the expertise they have, surely with strict supervision.

Yes but still rich people dont have time to fight poverty even though they able to do it. Even the goverment not able to help people out of poverty and just let them suffering. I think to fight proverty we can use education, job training and also all things that could enhance skill and knowledge of person.

We need new forms of infrastructure, small village settings within cities, so people are more community driven and inclusive. My Wife came up with a brilliant idea. She said if she were in Power, she would make the work week 4 hours a day, then 2 hours a day people would work for free for the community. There would be no unemployment because of less working hours and housing would be really cheap and affordable. She would also run cooperatives, so everyone in the villages, within the city would own part of all the businesses that ran in that village, so end of year EVERYONE would get dividends. This would drive people to really be productive in their 4 hour work shift and then also want to give back to the community and be more caring for one another.

I think poverty is only there because of selfishness, I cant say that poverty is because the people who are experiencing it is doing nothing about their lives, maybe they are just in a position where they have no other way to get out of it, But, rich people who are crazy rich and even the simple people who are in the state where their lives are in a good state, only learn how to share and give without wanting or expecting something in return, then our world would be a so much better place, and I think poverty will be no more.

I understand your feeling about this issue but unfortunately our society is not meant for such great help. Now I am not someone who has billions in my hands but I do donate some food or cloth if I see someone poor who really needs it. We cant help with the fact that most of the community in the world is born poor because thats the mistake of their past family who did not fit into the society, nor they studies very well or stayed away from the modern world which caused them to worsen the situation of their fellow family. Anyway government does provide them education free of cost which can change everything in their life. But its upto them. Donation is not the only way here, if we keep doing that then billions of dollars will also be less to eradicate everything.

That is like asking to work for the sake of others and those who really work hard to obtain wealth will lose interest if the world will have a proper distribution of wealth(which I doubt would happen to our lifetimes). IMO rich people can help those who are poor by putting up another profitable business using their money and then hiring them. That itself is a way to help them if they really wanted not to be poor.

I totally agree with that. People like OP think that wealth is like a cake, so if someone is wealthy, i.e. has a bigger piece of the cake, the rest are poorer. But wealth is like a fruit tree, that can grow and give more fruit, so if someone is richer, i.e. has more fruit, the rest can have more fruit as well. And when someone eats a fruit and throws the seed, a new fruit tree can grow, and so on.

Very good replies to the OP.

Firstly it is human nature to want to succeed and progress, this is why are
the dominant species on the planet.

Sustainability is the key. There is little lasting benefit to donating to the poor
because it is a temporary fix. Education is important along with financial
assistance to create something which can be built upon.

Donating to charities is only partly solving the issue. A high percentage of
what we donate goes on salaries and administration.

Rather than giving money to the poor, maybe you should think of trying to empower them instead, by probably creating a non governmental organization within this sphere to do that and building up their skills on areas where they can start getting their hands to work and rendering service to feed for themselves.

Like they always say; Instead of giving people fish to eat every time, it is better you teach them how to fish. I have seen handicapped people doing stuff for themselves in life and making substantial income from their skills, so, I do not think there should ever be an excuse for anyone using less privilege to cover up unless they are just damn sick and cannot lift their fingers. If you keep giving people money around you, that would not make them stop from being poor.

We might say some may lack the information and the skills to do certain things, or even lack money to be able to develop those skills, which in that case is where any wealthy person can come in and try to fill such gap.

There are a lot of wrong statements in your post. A lot of wealthy people worked hard for that wealth, and no luck was involved. They deserve to live a comfortable life. A lot of poor people are not poor because they were unlucky, some are just lazy.

A typical example of this was when the Berlin Wall was broken down. Some of the people who was living in East Germany was simply not used to working hard and they were lazy too. So when the Wall came down, a lot of them went into poverty, because they were too lazy to work or they were not used to the concept of hard work = higher income, like in the west.

The Communist system in East Germany made them lazy and some of them could not handle the change. So, Capitalism is not all bad, people are encouraged to work harder for a chance of a better life. <Why should you give that away to people who might just be lazy?>

I give more than 10% of my income to charities that are helping poor people find jobs and a way to sustain them until they reach that goal. <I do not give to charities, where people are not encouraged to uplift themselves.> Teach them how to Fish!

It is still poor people who are making wrong decisions in their life and nothing else. If they ever got educated then they can have jobs in their hands and with that job they can literally start overcoming their life situation which is currently so called poor. I don't think that we should be doing something for them though we had money because you know what will happen after this? They will get used to it and they will start relying more on us rather than feign something by themselves. If they have got the art then tell them to do it and then pay. There is nothing like poerty in this world, there is only your own mistake if you are poor person.

Steve Jobs said once , if you born poor then its not your mistake, but if you die poor then its your mistake.

Like the saying "Teach them how to fish".

I'm not with anything with those wealthy people and the only lucky ones are those that were born in a rich family but look on the background story on how those people reached success and the life they are living now. Actually, they have no obligation for those less fortunate and I'm sure that they are helping them in some ways but they don't want to broadcast it. The problem also lies to the people who don't want to get out of the rat race and is all asking for help all the time but without making any efforts on their own.

It's not even partly solving the 'issue'.

If we look at how much money globally has been donated to charities of all sorts, and the problems these charities are meant to tackle but aren't tackling in reality, it's pretty much a waste of time and money. How is it that after a few decades you still don't see that you're not solving the underlying problem, but just delay it at most in some fields?

People need a platform to build on so they can develop themselves and spread that positive vibe (remember, positivity and productivity incentivizes others to follow), not be pampered with pocket change and be left in the same situation for many more years. Or perhaps it's part of the system to keep people poor, because remember, poverty is a form of suppression in itself.

The more financial possibilities people have, the more power they obtain, and governments might not want that to happen.

First, I think OP should edit the eradicate in his title pose to either ameliorate/curtail or reduced, give it a soft landing because it can not be eradicated in any society. And, if I have to make inference from the bible, do we still remember the rich man and the poor man story?


I think that there is also the place of luck in our lives and being rich. The difference is that, being ready to identify the luck; in which case, the rich could have been ready. Off course, when being ready/opportunity meets luck, it takes one to wealth.

So we have to live ready.

At all times there were both poor people and the rich, so I think even if people wanted to eradicate poverty, they would not have succeeded.

I think giving money to the poor won't solve poverty problem, because it can only help the poor for temporary, for long term the poor need steady job, so they can become independent and some if the people could become lazy if knowing they will be supported without need to do anything, so I think job opportunities is more important than giving money to them

Why is that when somebody is rich, that person has to be demanded to give to the poor? If the rich person earned his money ethically then I don't see any problem with that. If that person gives back to the community then great. If that person does not give back, that is his/her choice.
What should be demanded is for the government not to be corrupt and to spend hard-earned taxes from the people into giving it back in terms of education and everything that will lead to job generation. The government should also demand from corporations to give the right pay to their workers and not just whatever amount that is not fair for the type of job that they have. If they are contributing to the pollution, then the government should demand from businesses to offset that in other terms.
Needless to say, there are a lot of companies who are abusive and just focus on profit. Those are the ones that should be focused on. Like the recent case of a pharma company raising a drug price to up to 400% for no other reason but to profit, highly unethical.

Poverty will end only ,if all laziness,procrastination,ignorance and daydreaming ends.
Some people just want to work more and earn more.The distribution of wealth will take resources from them and give money to the lazy,ignorant people.Is this fair?
The people,who are extremely rich,due to breaking the law should be punished.This is the only justice I know.

So, how are we going to gather so much money that you think we can't spend in the next 100 years? Yes, it's easy to say that we can eradicate poverty with so much money in the world. But at least share some ideas on how to realize that.

That's simply not true, there have been experiments that have shown quite the opposite.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/free-money-might-be-the-best-way-to-end-poverty/2013/12/29/679c8344-5ec8-11e3-95c2-13623eb2b0e1_story.html?utm_term=.be4929fcefc1


Something similar in Finland, they are giving free homes to homeless people (unconditionally):
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/apr/12/finland-homelessness-rough-sleepers-britain

Then there's also the idea of giving an unconditional basic income to people, that would completely eradicate poverty if implemented worldwide.
Even now there's a huge number of bullshit jobs that could very well be done by a robot in the future.

We really won't be able to provide jobs for everyone, so I see it as beyond inevitable that some form of benefits or basic income is granted to citizens.

@Kakmakr @davis196 I agree with both of you! people work hard for his wealth, or at least their parents did ;) 
luck has little effect on wealthiness, but laziness certainly will get you in poverty
even if you get big inheritance, you could lose it all in a blink of eye if you are too lazy to manage it

that's true but not in the sense of distributing/giving cash to people
most of the time they will just spend it in unproductive things or activities
you can distribute wealth by giving people opportunity to work and earn money

OP,  you have the point and i appreciate it, if you ever heard about the story about the lost native americans, they are annihilated without a clear trace of who is the suspect to that case. Money is also an option to help poor to sustain their needs, but as long as people who has a profile of being rich since birth and has the thinking of greediness and power, this will not end the case. Crypto can help us to be anonymously living outside government laws but doesn't mean that it can be a 100% option.

Exactly.Providing such opportunities to let poor people work in your company that will give a decent income monthly to sustain their family needs.Surely it will be a great help if not eradicate poverty,atleast it will be minimized.Giving them instant cash will only help them in a short term while providing them job opportunities can truly help them in a long term.

What makes you think the government is set to eradicate poverty? On the other hand, who if not the government can actually do something about it? They accumulate taxes which are supposed to redistribute wealth in the society, to help a little those who are stuck in poverty, to give them choice. Otherwise, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink, which means that you can give someone an opportunity to get out of poverty but you can't force them to take it if they don't want to.

So it is a multifaceted, multilayered, and very complicated question, which cannot be reduced to claiming that we should be helping the less privileged people in the society in the way you mean it. Did it never occur to you that those beggars on the street you make mention of don't actually need your help, apart from asking for a few coins which they are going to waste that very evening on booze?

Poverty will be eradicated if people help themselves, if there's a government that help people out of the poverty, then they should help themselves too, it's a choice though, if you really want to leave out of poverty. But some people don't want to, it's like they want to be rich, but they don't help or find a solution or a way to become a rich person.

Absolutely ridiculous, this is the type of bootlicking that is destroying the world.  THE MAJORITY of wealthy people get rich off the work of wage slaves.  All the pfoits go to the shareholders and Executives.  You are seriously dillusional, the hardest working people on this planet are dirt poor. Wake up! You are very brainwashed.

The employment with good salary is the only way to eradicate the poverty from this world but it won't happen because people never give free money to anyone even the right salary to most of their employees.And to be honest if all the people were equally distributed in wealth then no one will do work so the world will get stuck at its place since no one will go for their work so only smart people who have the knowledge to make money.

No matter how much you provide for the needy around you, but you cannot finish their poverty as long as the government is not doing something for that. If the government is not doing anything to provide them an opportunity to work (unless they are handicaps) and earn for themselves, it deserves to be blamed for it.


Not everyone get their wealth out of luck. Maybe a few get lucky enough to earn a lot of money in a very short period of time, or some may get it as an inheritance from their ancestors, but the majority of the people having a lot of wealth are the ones who have seen hardships in their lives as well but they came out the other side with a better lifestyle, and that's because they worked hard. And to be honest, the ones who get their wealth by luck, would rarely understand the situation of a person in need while if someone's wealth is hard-earned, he would definitely understand that without even saying.


Though giving money to the homeless and needy people is a good deed, but that would absolutely not eradicate poverty, not at all. Passing by such people and giving them money, food, supplies or anything every day would simply give them enough for the day, but that wouldn't finish their poverty. As long as they don't get a source of income for themselves, they won't be stable, and that is what people or the governments should be looking forward to do. Only distributing wealth won't make the world a better place for the less privileged unless you provide them with a source of earning it of their own.

Charities is a good way to help the poor because it directly provides what they need. Not all charities foundation that doesn't inform what the donations are being used. For an example, the water foundation gives you a report for a donation you made.

---

It does not work that way, the rich distribute their wealth to the poor will significantly reduce the poverty rate. It needs a self-improvement to make ourself a better person in term of economy.

The assets we have or what we get are not entirely ours, because there is a part of our property to be donated to the poor or people who are not capable or people who are in need. I always apply this if I get income and I don't care how much income I get, as long as we are able to share happiness in the form of material why we don't share it. Get used to a simple and full life of gratitude for what we have gained, so we will easily share a little of our wealth for people in need.

Its not your fault born being poor.. Its your fault dying poor.. You cant feed a poor forever let them strive too and let them stand on their feet helping them in other means like providing job instead of spoon feeding them.

If wealthy inequality gets too far out of hand the poor citizens revolt and overthrow the government.  This has happened time after time in the past buy people still refuse to learn from it.

Each wealthy must have a through process to get a wealth they have, not so simple the people think. Even more they need a relative long time to get it. Surely, for those who has got wealth this is a reward for them for the hard work he has done. The mindset of the rich person or we can say they as a successful person certainly have a clear purpose in their lives. The mindset of them isn't limited just on this day, but they were thought the other day to keep arround in adequacy in economic terms. The most important is just one, they can manage money that they have in order to effloresce or even grow someday.

For instance, they save a money or jump down to the field of investment. All we know, no matter how much we have money now but we just save our money in my pocket it will useless, remember with the matter of inflation that each years we will face. Unless with someone who has a less economic thing, and I just thing, they couldn't manage the money they have and they tend to eliminate what they have and even just keep it in their wallet. They don't think what will happen afterwards, all they think is that the money they have will be enough to live in the future, and of course this will be very dangerous.

To eradicate poverty it will happened if the main actors can change their own mindset.

I don't really like to help other people materially such as giving cash, because it doesn't educate me. I think I prefer to help indirectly such as giving jobs or other things that are more educating. :-\

Theres a sayaing that " if you born poor, its not your fault but if you died poor its your fault".  Your lucky if you were born rich but how about those people that still in the poor section. Yes its hard to find a job better job if you dont have but you need to put an effort to become successful, dont waste time. You can change your life by taking action in a little way, if your rich and can afford to help other go for it.

I don't see anything wrong in giving arms to the poor or the less privileged in the society. Even the holy books also support arms giving. I quite agree that some people who are poor are in that predicament as a result of their negligence. But there are also several other people who may even be far hard working and yet they get nothing. Those who have so much and yet not willing to help the poor in my opinion are just being greedy and selfish. When you die, what becomes of your wealth??? It is best to live a good and generous life instead of living a stingy and selfish life.
Practice arms giving or upliftment of the poor around you. I think you should even be embarrassed when you built your mansion in a community where the other people cannot even have a single room to sleep. I am not saying you should accommodate them in your home, or build a house for all the persons in your community, but you can at least do something to better their situation as long as you still have so much to spare that is idling away.

Try to leave a legacy behind and be remembered for good.
Poverty eradication is what the United Nations is also fighting and it should be the goal of everyone.

These threads point out why it's so difficult to act, not only from the side of the governments, but also from the side of finding a way to eradicate poverty in a manner we all are happy with.

Governments aren't just one body. It may look like so, but there are so many different streams of influences and opinions, that it's next to impossible to expect them to jump in and offer a helping hand.

In other words, it's up to you to make the best out of every situation, because only you knows what's the best for yourself, not a bunch of politicians in suits only out to score cheap points.

Even if the environment around you doesn't offer many opportunities to improve your situation, doing something in an attempt to change your life is better than doing nothing and thus not change anything at all.

Right, these ideals are why England dominated early in the industrial revolution, around the time of the first steam engines..

Until then wealth was land, and land IS like a cake..
England was intelligent to recognize that other people getting rich through industry and manufacturing was not taking wealth away from them but rather creating more wealth for everyone..

You can thank coal for all of it :)

I have had this thought severally and I hope the part of proper/adequate wealth circulation is being taken into full consideration and enactment. It is really pathetic to see money/finance being squandered by governments in the developing countries while their citizens are in a state of abject poverty.

There's no something wrong if you give them a little food instead of money and help poor people to have work. Most poor people did not have a regular job because they are uneducated or diligence people are always relying on governments supply budget. So, instead give them a work or a decent job to have a maintain income for their family.
I like the culture of pure Chinese they are helping each other no one greedy and selfish.

I got your point but majority of those "whales" don't have the same thinking due to various reasons.

"If only" "If only" "If only" ; that wa the question. And we can't just push those whales to have the same thinking or goal to reduced poverty.

While getting assistance from the government, poor people must also do something to rotate the wheels of their life. Instead of waiting for the hard reality that billionaires will assist poor people, make some adjustment and challenge the world in order to step up.

For this to be effective, it needs a serious global awareness and involvement of big persons or country.

Poverty is the state of being poor. It cannot be diminished anytime. Even there are full employment to the world, it is not assurance that people would not suffer from financial shortage. World has scarce resources and definitely, it cannot supply those people who are extremely needed the commodities. World is only for rich people specially that there are capitalists who want to make more money.

rich people can really help the poor but it depends on them, they are not obliged though, giving money or assistance to poor once or twice is noble but to distribute the wealth of the rich people to some unfortunate individuals, it is not fair, it doesn't help the poor to survive but it encourages them to stay on begging and waiting for someone to lend them a hand. though there are some wealthy people who offers livelihood projects for the poor, but let us face it, some poor people are really stubborn and lazy and have no plans on working for themselves. sad thing is, it has become part of the cycle.

Yes ,I believe in that ,we can totally eradicate poverty ,if all want to do it, If the rich people and citizens with enough supply would not be greedy enough and help those who are need to rise up from poverty it will be a success and then the poor level of people will also work hard with the help of those high people , can really rise to much better life ,than just simply being poor , the help and working hard will gain improvement in life that what I believe, helping each other.

I think we will not be able to eliminate a poverty that is a permanent problem that exists in every country and it will not be possible
to lose, for whatever effort you make by giving them a job, if they remain lazy they will still be poor

It is still poor those that area unit creating wrong selections in their life and zip else. If they ever got educated then they will have jobs in their hands and thereupon job they will virtually begin overcoming their life scenario that is presently thus known as poor. i do not assume that we must always be doing one thing for them tho' we have a tendency to had cash as a result of you recognize can|what is going to|what's going to} happen once this? they're going to get accustomed it and that they will begin relying a lot of on America instead of feign one thing by themselves. If they need got the art then tell them to try and do it and so pay. there's nothing like poerty during this world, there's solely your own mistake if you're unfortunate.

giving jobs or opening jobs to poor people who do not have a job is a good step, but the problem is how long they will be able to compete with technological advances, because in my experience people do not have jobs because they are lazy people

Stop talking crap, because you are only making a ass of yourself. My father had very humble beginnings and he worked hard to build a very successful business. In the end he had 1040 people working for him and he paid them respectable wages. None of these people were slaves, they fed their families and they had a decent living standard. <He even provided free housing>

If everyone sat back and just waited for a social hand-out, then poverty will never be eradicated. Some wealthy people built an empire to serve themselves and THIS provided jobs for other people.

I paid for my own education and I did not go into the family business, because I wanted to stand on my own two feet and do it all on my own. I am currently employed and happy to participate in charities to create jobs for other people.  ;)

Yes, some assholes exploit poor people and they pay them less than the minimum wage to work like slaves, but a LOT of wealthy people are not assholes and they provide very good job opportunities and uplift the lives of millions of people around the world.  ;)

Eradicating poverty completely is very much possible with the efforts you mentioned but I also do feel some beggars do it on intention as they don't want to work hard for their living and they find it easy to beg(Not in all cases of course). Governments and people are doing it as much as possible to help eradicate it by making NGO's and self-awareness centers and many other things.

Lastly, a person has to be determined to push himself out of poverty the help which he needs to do that will definitely be supplied from some sources.

Eradicating poverty is very challenging. There are a lot of poor people who do not have the proper education. Maybe we can start educating all the children in the world. Avoid drugs and other bad habits that can ruin health and oneself. If at least all knows how to reas and write it is not difficult to teach everyone who are in need.

I think that poverty exists not only because of drunks and laziness, there are different difficult situations in life ... I can not say that poverty is that people who experience this do not do anything in their lives, perhaps they just in a position where they have no other way out, rich people who are madly rich and even ordinary people who are in a position when their life is in good condition, only learn to share and give, not wanting or expecting something in return , then our world would be a much better place, and I think that poverty no longer. Do good and it will return. After all, everything in life comes back as a boomerang.

Your idea is hard to achieve!
Many rich people would rather throw away milk and bread than pity!
Their survival rule is to make money, and will not consider the feelings of others! Even crush the poor!

Well, this is not the whole story. If you want something closer to that, England was a dominating power in the world in 17-19th centuries with lots of colonies around the globe. I'm sure that you are familiar with the phrase "the empire on which the sun never sets". It is these colonies and their ruthless exploitation that gave British Empire its wealth. Needless to say, at its peak it was larger than any other empire in history.

For example, you may want read about Opium Wars (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opium_Wars), they are very descriptive and expository of the Crown's colonial policies.

The only way to be "lucky rich" is to inherit from the father. Otherwise, you should strive on to become rich yourself.
In Capitalism, there is no such thing as "everybody must be rich." The richness of people is his own ability. Most people are rich because of the poor life of the past. So, people should not sit down, and wait as a poor. I'm not saying we can't help, let's help. But if you don't have a skill, you will always be poor.

We have different point of view when it comes to this kind of thing. Of course, if I will be given a chance in amassing a large amount of money then I would help others because I know how it feels when you really need money and you don't know where you can get it. At first, in order to satiate those people, you need to give them food but along with it, you should teach them how to earn money themselves because sometimes, there are those who will abuse you because of being generous.


Even if you only have a single skill that you are exceptional of then you can make money from it. You are not only doing it to make a living but you are doing it because you enjoy and love doing it which wouldn't feel like work anymore. Poor people are at a disadvantage when it comes to earning because they would start from scratch and those who become successful are the ones who became an inspiration to those who are born poor. As what the saying goes "It is not your fault if you are born poor but it is your fault if you die poor."

Rich people can for sure help the poor and there is no doubt about that, but at the end of the day, it is always better to find more productive ways of helping them. The fact remains that as long as you keep giving someone food to eat, he or she will not understand how valuable that food is, because they are not working for it.

Except for someone who is handicapped, I do not expect someone who is not, to be begging. There are so many services to render at your own will, and get paid for it, no matter the country you are in but I feel some are too lazy to just realize that, and trust me, even the wealthy ones, will not want to put their money to waste.

The truth is, no one can eradicate poverty even if we come with joint effort, unless we start empowering people. That is more important than just feeding them and giving them something to eat everytime, and that won't still stop some people from not taking the opportunity to change their situations around, but would rather still want to remain poor, begging.

I think of the united state as a country which has evolved a lot over the decades. It was initially a colony of people with pathetic financial statements and outdated infrastructure. The country paid huge attention to the human development and the current studies about their economy and political structure conclude them the most powerful country of the world.

So i want to say that they have raised their per capital income immensely and in a sense have put a full stop to the poverty. The word eradicate represent an optimistic approach towards finishing poverty but again what maters the most is the real figures and this can be done so. Poverty eradication or amelioration is a long journey and is the challenge being posed to so many countries currently.

This way of thinking needs to be changed because the poor reality is precisely the result of the wrong way of thinking like that. That's why it happens in the community that the poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer. Because the way of thinking of the poor which is mistaken continues to be left wrong, the condition gets worse; while the rich are way to think straight so that they get richer

The fact that we can completely eradicate poverty, if we want it, makes sense. Everyone must take care of his poor relative for example.

Believe me giving money to the poor is totally useless. Yes it can help them but it would be for short time period.

Well, we also have to understand that not everyone is cut out to be self-employed as that requires certain attribute which is the ability to take risk, persevere, be persistent and try hard to achieve your goals. Moreover, if everyone is creating jobs, who will be doing the work?

With respect to what the OP said, I really do not fancy the idea of giving people money nor food to eat. Like you said, you can create employment by building up their skills, and with that, over time, they can get to even start doing well for themselves without having to depend on anyone and that certainly makes the economy get better.

We all work to make ourselves get to where we are and those who are rich does not certainly have two heads than those who are not. Now, I am not in the area of trying to get to feed people every time, let them add to the economy by empowering them like someone rightly said. You'd be surprised at the number of values you will be creating to the world just with that alone. There are something’s that really would not make much impact to the society, and one of them is just giving people food to eat because they are poor.

You're right we eradicate poverty if we want all we have to do hire them for a good job. Nothing can be achieve without hard working better to give them a job.

But being self-employed doesn't mean you are doing nothing and living off your passive income, whatever that might be (like crypto long-term holding). Self-employed means that you are your own boss, but basically you do pretty much the same things, that is anything productive which adds value to the common good. And given the current level of automation, creating jobs is likely the best job in and of itself even if the jobs you create will be taken by robots only. So everyone creating jobs and robots doing the work is not actually a bad idea on its own.


Ultimately, I agree with your point and that point of others who say that giving money to the poor is totally useless. In fact, this is what I said myself in this very post, though in a somewhat less explicit way. However, I don't think it is always the case. If someone is smart but was born poor and needs money for their education, giving them money may be the right thing to do after all, provided it does't get wasted. Actually, this is what many governments do by providing stipends for promising and gifted kids.

Greed of a man is the biggest reason for the gap between rich and the poor.  A greedy man with little higher intelligence and his shrewdness tries to get more and more and in this process he even does not hesitate in theft; scamming; or other so many types of such activities making / snatching money from others on which he has no right.  Even poor people are exploited by cunning people. 
So if we give away some donation to poor it will not be the permanent resolution.  We must try to make them aware or their rights; and also educate them the ways how to earn sufficient money to live a respectful life satisfying the basic needs of the life. 
"Spirituality" spread by Spiritual leaders (Saints)  works very nicely in this type of problems.  Bad habits like greed disappear once the man connects with them.
May God bless all.

in order to lose the difficulties, if people can help themselves, if there are governments that help fellow people from being sorrow, of course they also help themselves, you much to choice though, if you like you really go up to distresses. But people also do not want to, as everyone wants to be rich, but they do not resent themselves or find a good solution or find a way to become a rich man.

in my opinion main thing to eradicate poverty is to increase high human resources. and we can start from ourselves, to want to learn for a better future, besides that the role of government is also needed

I suppose if we actually had equality of opportunity, that would be a first step in the right direction then. But we don't. Society is highly segregated along socioeconomic lines. Those with the means to leave cities move to the suburbs, and obviously those who can't don't. This creates areas with wealthy tax bases while other areas suffer loss of a tax base that supports schools and social services, and that's a cycle that reinforces itself. The more people flee the crumbling areas, the lower the tax base and the lower the quality of schools and support services. There's absolutely no way you can say everyone has the same opportunities and the people who haven't thrived have failed solely because they chose not to try hard enough. There is, to be blunt, a wide disparity in the access to opportunity across our society.

Poverty will never be eradicated not because I want to stay the poverty in the world but because it is essential for a country. Without people that is experiencing poverty, there will never be a development. The government are developing their country to solve poverty, the rate is decreasing but still for centuries of finding a solution, there are still poverty people. Let's stop the nonsense, it will never be eradicated, as long as there are greedy people that are getting good benefits from these people, it will never be eradicated.

yes you are right and I really like you, they are all people in this world who are still poor can actually become rich depending on the willingness of each of them, everything requires a process and nothing is instant.

The thing is that most people are simply too greedy, billionaires would rather hoard their resources then distribute money to the homeless. Its sad but true.

It could be wonderfull life if people in this world can help each other but i think this is almost impossible that rich people mostly does not care to poor people and giving money to poor people also will not solved poverty problem because they usually will being to lazy but rather than giving money i think we have to provide the opportunities to making money because in my opinion this way is more effective and we're successfull help them to make living

That is right, Giving and offering cash directly to the poor class is not a solution and I believe that this way will never overcome the poverty in particular country. As you said that teaching and treat them to have skills and improve it is the best solutions. They should maximize their skills toward money. It definitely needs a long term and extra power to do because we should set their mind in order to be productive rather than consumptive or just accepting.

But what would it change in the end, I mean, in the context of eradicating poverty? I don't think that much. Okay, let's assume there is equality of opportunity, that is everyone has equal chances for something, as I understand it. But does it mean that having equal chances means being equal? Not in the least, if you ask me. People are born into inequality, though some are definitely born more equal than the others.

Basically, you remove one barrier and open doors to an even higher one, and this kind of inequality may be observed even more markedly and felt even stronger like one individual being born to be tall, the other short, and so forth. In other words, equality in opportunity is not going to change the inequality which is inborn in people, which is what ultimately matters. It just makes this latter kind of inequality more streamlined, more straightforward, and thus felt even more acutely and painfully as it is no longer hidden by the former kind of inequality, inequality of opportunity.

For millennia, people have tried to create a just society and eradicate poverty and nobody has succeeded in doing it in practice. We are all very different in their own type of character, inclinations and habits. Therefore, if you create equal starting opportunities for everyone, many of them will not use simplicity, others will find a way to use them to harm themselves or others and your good intentions will not be realized. Apparently, the elimination of poverty in general is impossible if we look at this problem from the point of view of religion. From this point of view, each of us has our own tasks in this world, which we must solve independently on the plane of the soul. If our physical world is perfect and people do not need anything, spiritual perfection will be impossible. Therefore, most likely, mankind is not able to solve this problem, it contradicts the vision of the Creator.

Who are we? To eradicate poverty we need an effort from the whole population of the World, but actually a lot of those who are in poverty don't realise the real size of their problem and can't build a community effort.

How do we want to eradicate poverty, to help our poor families there are still many who do not care. This is found in my area.

Based on what I saw on youtube or in real life where a homeless get money from bypassers and earn a couple of bucks a day, we have to accept the fact that it can only help them  for a couple of days too but if we teach them how to earn money in a decent way it would help them for a lifetime but it also depends upon their status and condition. I think it is too easy to spot a lazy one from a real poor person that is having a hard time with his or her life suffering from poverty. I actually don't trust charity organizations as some of them has shady whatsoever. I prefer to help motivate  or make a way that could help them get out from poverty if only I am a wealthy person.

Stupid people, teenagers, and losers are the only ones that think this is the solution.

Unlike a lot of people here, I have experienced what wealth distribution to everybody would lead to...instead of having 20%-10%-5% poor people in a country we ended all poor. Dirt poor! This was the result of socialism and distribution of wealth to everybody! Cold, hunger, lack of medicine, lack of services, lack of everything.

The moment you start your crusade to eradicate poverty you can be sure you're going to end with all those you wished to help just as poor as before and just as poor as everybody else.



And from where is going the one that employs those guys all the money to pay for those wages?
Oh, let me guess...out of his own pocket or from the government by taxing the ones that were able to get a job without help, thus punishing a part of the citizens in order to create a fake utopia where everyone is employed and leaves a beautiful life!

Do you really believe that jobs can be created just like tokens, with a few clicks?


Too late, you've been uncovered !!!
You capitalist slave driver pig! /joking  ;D

For me, poverty only means uneducated peoples. If you have some kind of knowledge and you know how to use it to you will leave because of it in your life it will help you survive in this cruel world but if you ignore study and waste your time then there is nothing expected from you. I do help a lot of people around me whenever I can but obviously when I want to. I cannot help everyone every time but whenever I can I do Idea share them money and knowledge and whatever I can but I like if someone is hungry for knowledge and not only making a drama for money.

I think you are a dreamer because it is impossible to realize your ideas in the current world. I noticed long time ago that people are like animals. Yeah, we are really similar with animals. We must have food, warmness, security, sex and so on. Everybody thinks just about himself. A weak and silly person will probably die but a strong and smart one has much more chances to survive and to be successful. Who is stronger, smarter, faster those persons get much more from the common resources than others. You suggest that such a person should think about others persons and help them in some situations. Why? A lion do not help a hyena or a turtle in the nature. A lion is strong and he gets more but hyena is weaker and he gets less. In the human world everything is similar.

Yes that's true as greed of the people is one of the main reason for the poverty but at the same time if a country has proper administration system then there might not be poverty.

I agree, instead of giving them money better to help them how to improve and earn by themselves so they can stand on their own without relying to others to be able to eat. In this case the government has a resonsibility to give these people a resources, it cant be done by ordinary people unless he/she is rich. Usually rich people has their own way to give back for the blessings they received and that is by donating money in their own chosen charity and not to random beggars in the street.

Poverty in one's self can be address if we only have a dedication to strive hard and work to have earnings for our needs and I think it is doable with the help of crypto currency because for me its a universal new kind of work that everyone on this world can be benefited if they only want to and as my past experienced that crypto is a big help for my family's hospitalization needs and it truely helps.

yes you are right I also think like you, actually poverty can be overcome if there is a will and there is an effort to be successful, if there is no security then it will be very difficult to be able to do that.

in religion we are taught to pay zakat and alms. zakat is emphasized to be paid when we have income at a certain value and with the percentage amount that must be paid, this is intended to help the poor. if this is carried out correctly then many poor people will be helped

Yes we can do. But the reason for the existence of Capitalism is the rich and the poor. So, a poor person can live normal until helper's help is over. After he has to do something to make his living. Or we should go back to socialism for everyone to live in the same situation.

Yes.The government should offer more job opportunities that will cater the jobless people and have their own source of income.Through this way,unemployment will be reduced along with poverty.We cannot totally eradicate poverty at all,but we can start minimizing and reduced it if majority of the people will now have their own jobs to provide the needs of their families.

Poverty can be totally reduced if not eradicate if only people will be more open to look for job opportunities to sustain their family needs,and not just focusing on theirselves.If they have the will to survive in this crucial world,then they should find ways how to find a means for their living.

It depends on where you live, there are countries that charge you 50% or even more in taxes with the purpose of redistributing that wealth, so if people in those countries do not feel like giving even more of their money to those that have not earn it I cannot blame them, what you say will work if the government did not charge taxes or if the tax was very low.

But if you are already paying so much in taxes in which you are effectively giving half of your time and life to the government so they can solve those problems, and they do not do it then it's entirely their responsibility and you should not feel responsible to try to do even more, if you want to do it you are welcome to do it but there should not be any moral obligation.

i think to be more calm with yourself, that is by following the rules in which we live. i think we should keep positive and optimistic thoughts away that taxes we have paid can be used for mutual prosperity

I agree with this. As long as you work hard for the things that you want, you can achieve it. You must have the proper idea on where to use your money because it might help you to become rich.

Yes they should find more ways because there are many opportunity that has been waiting for us and we only need to do is to make a move on which we should be educate first ourselves so that we can be encourage to do our best in the specific task or job and the outcome will become good not just for ourselves but also for everyone that can help them to improve their status in life.

I will support empowerment of the poor people by the wealthy  this is a way out of reducing poverty its better to teach them how fish rather than giving out fish if the wealthy will have this mindset it will go a long way in reducing poverty of course not everybody might afford to pay tuition fee so as to be well educated and in some countries this menace is brought by government lack of commitment towards infrastructures. eg provision of free and affordable educational system.

Just whay like Bible says “don’t give them fish instead teach them how to fish”simple message that can save the economy of every country and to eradicate the poverty

But ofcourse this is an easy word to say,npbut harder to do why not stop talking and just do what you can afford to help the less fortunate from here you can educate people so they can do the same way

It is a good idea but there are many poor people who do not know how to make money. Besides, they are very lazy and can not do the job well. That is why they are always poor. I have given the opportunity to some poor people but they can not fully utilize it.

I think the problem here is in each individuals, most of the people who are in the lower class of living always blaming the government because of their poverty.  Even though government create a lot of livelihood program that can help people to earn money, if an individual are not willing or coopirating nothing will change. Dont also think that because of luck people get wealth or rich, its because of their hardwork and dedication nothing more nothing less.

How do we keep the value of the bitcoin at the time of holding it? It's hard to find a solution for those who hold the cryptocurrency market. It only depends on the humanitarian value of each investor.

Poverty can be erradicated by us by the contributions of each individual. By being diligent and industrious to find a decent job, business or anything legit that can supply individual or family needs.

That suppose to be awesome to hear but it isn't in that easy as saying. Giving money directly to the lower class of people is not a good and effective way, it  helps them just in short time. It will not change their mind set and attitude as long as they wan't doing nothing. It is better to treat them how to make a money than directly giving.

Yes, I agree with you on the so many inherent fallacies in the OP's submission. Another case in point is the title. It's actually wrong to ever think a thing as Poverty can be eradicated. That's not true. Poverty can only be Alleviated, not eradicated.

- Accurately, poverty can be eradicated as long as everyone has a stable job and diligence in every action but you should know that is just a dream, that theory can not apply to a real life because the personality and effort of each person is not the same. In addition, we should talk about the level of knowledge, finance and talent of each region in the world, it always has a big difference, and so we can clearly see that we really want, it is still impossible, poverty will still exist to create a balance for this life, not all can be rich and not all can be poor

Too true! Many impoverish people in the community are actually the most hard working people in that communit. All they lack is the opportunity to earn more that what they have. Maybe it is because of lack of education or seed money but the fact of the matter is they don't need hand outs, they need opportunities.

Eradication of poverty is important issue in the world and countries are trying to take measures against it but it is still existing even in this modern world you will see a lot of poverty in people. But those who are living in poverty can find a way out by getting education of modern ways to make money then they can change their lives by investing and trading which will make then able to deal with anything and pass the knowledge to next.

It's not easy to change the system that continue from begging of the civilization.But if can there will be a heaven in this world.Proverty is a curse in a life,the distribution of wealth can be honestly and can make the generation hard working can gain some change that we want.

The sad truth is that government is interested in eradication of poverty. They show poverty as result or a destination for the nation to keep them motivated to work harder.

What OP certainly is not understanding is that no matter how hard you try to want to help some, it is like that state of poverty is just something they have decided to choose.

I have seen beggars before with two hands and two feet, in a situation where they can find some skills and do well for themselves, but they just would not. People, who make a good life for themselves, really do not have two heads, and no matter how much you give a beggar today, that does not make the beggar to stop begging again tomorrow. So at the end, nothing is changing.

Are they really? Well, maybe for some and not all government. For most of the developed world, they have been able to cater for a lot of things and has been able to put some system in place for everyone to at least be able to live a day without having to go hungry or where to lay their heads. Now, that is a working government who is trying to eradicate poverty, but that does not mean you still wont have some lazy fellows who are just fond of begging all their lives.

However, talking about countries where all these things are not available, no job, no amenties, no infrastructure and the only thing would be some politicians siphoning the funds meant for these things, in such places, this would be a hard thing to tackle unless, that level of corruption is tackled first and this speaks mostly for the third world and some developing countries.

Look at Jeff Bezos, his net worth is over 100 billion dollars but he refuses to pay his Amazon employees a livable wage and he forces them to work in dangerous conditions.  The workers are overworked and are forced to pee in bottles.

Right mate providing a living to those less fortunate people is a lot of help to each and everyone.Giving them a source of living is a gift of life meaning they can earn their own money through their works and provide important needs in their family like foods,shelter etc.but most especially education because being educated is the steppingstone in erradicating poverty in our lives.

I have read an article stating that we cannot totally erradicate poverty because it is a natural law that there should be servants and lords-alike; that it is impossible for ymus to live if we are all rich. Well, I think that reason could be the main hindrance to our goal to erradicate poverty. They might be misleading since erradicating poverty doesn't mean making them wealthy as much as what they think. It is because what erradicating poverty really means is that giving an equal opportunity to work and be payed as much as what they deserve. I believe that we can trully eradicate poverty if and only if we want it to end and we are taking actions towards reaching the goal.

Yeah, I get your point and I do agree on it. the distribution of wealth seems to be unfair in this world. Rich people become richer and poor people become poorer. I am not blaming rich people if they become richer because they do everything they can to be in their position right now but there are some people who are doing illegal things just to be rich which I think is really unfair. On the other hand, poor people cannot rise from where they are standing because of lack of knowledge and courage to do so. Some reasons why is because they lack financially and they lack of self esteem which I think will be fulfilled if some people help and encourage them to overcome this. Financial support and acceptance, I think are some of the keys to lessen poverty.

Yes, we can eradicate poverty.But how? Take everything from a millionaire who made money with his mind and give it to the poor?I don't think that's quite right.If there are poor people in the country, it is primarily a problem of the state in which there is such a phenomenon.My aunt worked all her life as a chief accountant in a large production and she gets a minimum pension.And a man who has never worked all his life receives the same pension=the same equality!?One hope remained on the blockchain technology.Maybe it will help to achieve real equality.

That is true we can eliminate poverty, all it takes is actually will and the involvement of everyone. Same as we can save the environment, eliminate war and prejudice and actually find world peace. All these goals coukd be achieved if we all work together. But there is always that one selfish jerk that throws a wrench on all that.

If we TRULY want to there is also enough food to go around the world feeding the whole population TWICE however most of that money goes to waste. I remember back when I worked in hotels whatever was made that day either was sold or went to trash, this was done so no worker would try to "not sell" something so he can eat it at the end of the day.

Stuff like these are just least of our worries considering there are fast food joints who make a lot of money and throw the food to trash at the end of the day. This is just food, considering how much money is in the world, some people and companies have so much profits and earnings that it can make EVERYONE in the world not poor with one quarter of profits.

That depends on the humanity of the head of the holding. The cryptocurrency market is in crisis. Although the value of Bitcoin and Altcoin is quite high relative to the currency, it doesn't have a legal environment.

That’s a lie, we can’t do it. There is no way we can be able to eradicate poverty in this world, not when there are greedy and lazy people all around. If we want to eradicate poverty then we should start by stopping greediness and Laziness, people will have to start working hard and stop being greedy, everyone should turn to a giver, if possible– we should stop the use of money and everything should just be free for every man. But since that’s not possible, then it’s impossible to stop poverty. That’s my say for this.

No, this is not the right way to bring decrease in poverty or to reduce poverty you have to introduce this profitable system to your relatives and friends then after learning about this rich way of making money then they will come out from poverty. This is all about spreading the knowledge of crypto market then it will become easy for all those who do not know about it.

You've raised a good point on how to eradicate poverty and that's by giving; giving in whatever capacity: cash or kind. But it is not as if you can force or compile people to do so. Giving is a deep concept that requires good understanding of it for anyone to do it freely. Just do your own part. Only few can freely part away with their wealth to help others; it is human nature.
I don't see eradication of poverty anytime soon.

I happen to read the following item below and it is quite alarming to see how the world is really living in poverty. I only selected a few items below to emphasize the idea of how worst poverty is. It reads:


Source: https://www.dosomething.org/us/facts/11-facts-about-global-poverty

And so as I read the information In this article about poverty, I stumbled upon the following data above that suggested how worst poverty really is. Isn't 22,000 really is something? It made me think that the world is really suffering from it and that teaching each individual how to fish might not even be so easy, not unless people will realize the necessity of helping one another.  We could only think of a solution but how the solution can be meet in reality is something that has to be worked for during this times of hardship. Imagine the thousands of deaths for the children due to poverty and imagine how poverty had killed more than those diseases that have been mentioned above. Is the principle of teaching the man how to fish really is a workable idea? Well for me, I don't believe so, I think the world needs more than that. The resources for food, medicine and some other basic needs are not met easily despite having to work hard. The salary for the poor isn't so well enough to satisfy their needs. So I guess the love for humanity and the concern that should be shown by the rich individuals would be the most important idea to give the poor the chance to work with better salaries to alleviate poverty. For most of the time I could only see that the rich is getting richer and the poor is getting poorer. How can we really live as comfortable and happy then?

and who really can do it is only the government
a healthy government with little corruption will greatly affect poverty reduction in the country, because they will focus on building all the sectors that are needed by the poor

Well if this is the case there is a possibility that poor people will be dependent to the rich people. It is much better if the rich people or people with good life gives job. It is much vetter to teach someone than to just give. Because if what you give was used then probably thise people will asked again, and it is not always tht you have. People do not need to be selfish. Government should focused on eradicating it rather than looking for the other people wrong doings. It is not really good for the economy, we should focus first on eradicating what is the reason why we have not so good economy rather than focusing on making it grow without noticing the real reason why it is not good.

Even if we want to eradicate poverty. If those poor people don't do anything to uplift their way of living. And they are just waiting for the help of other people. We cannot eradicate poverty.

Do not give fishes to the poor that will solve their hunger in one day but teach them how to catch fish as they will solve their hunger for a life time. There are lot of Billionaires that shared their wealth in charity but if you want to totally eliminate the poverty it will creat imbalance to the world. Who will do the farmers work if there is no poor and who will collect your garbages if they don't need to work anymore? We don't need to elimanate the poor but to reduce it is the most appropriate.

Volume  of  people  in small country are 70% in poverty line, now for simultaneously brings help to them for going progressive and  productive people is to spread out out the words of bitcoin through digital virtual system they will not going forward if no one can help them. wealth of individuals is not worth it to help generally it needs to spread out in social media to explain and elaborate how bitcoin useful.

Poverty were become a problem that even goverment cant solve it, yes i believe it could be solved if there is people that are rich enough and care about poverty problem. You might like this article https://www.livebitcoinnews.com/binances-blockchain-charity-fund-teams-up-with-un-to-fight-poverty-and-social-issues/
Binance are trying to fight poverty by using blockchain technology

that's very true ... but we must realize that we live in a country like what ?? if in developed countries this is very easy to do because work opportunities are very abundant but if in developing countries or in poor countries, things that are easy in developed countries are very difficult to find in poor countries, sometimes human resources are abundant but very little work, try the field of agricultural land that we have is very barren, in the field of trade in transportation and infrastructure that is very bad, sometimes we are difficult to do what we can but we only do something that is there, but a tireless struggle will surely succeed.

And it is always going to keep being an important issue in the world. I guess in most places, it is always something for the rich to want to keep seeing a huge gap between them and the poor. Nevertheless, I believe the poverty itself actually is generated from the way things are economically within the country.

When an economy is good and thriving, there will always be so many things to do for everyone to be able to curtail that poverty level, except for those who just want to choose to be lazy and keep begging anyway, but for a country where unemployment rate is high, the level of corruption is off the hook, this would be something hard to achieve.

The people you mean are either perverts or spoiled kids from rich families who actually feel pleasure in seeing other people suffer from poverty. I'm more inclined to think that what you mention in your post actually refers to the competition and show-off between the rich folks themselves, that is between those who can adequately assess their own wealth and status. Really, what's the purpose of feeling superior before someone who can't feel their inferiority in the first place?

the first thing that must be changed is the mindset. many argue that living in poverty is fate. whereas poverty can be changed if we can get out of the zone by really trying to be better. I know that eradicating poverty is very difficult, and even tends to fail to do, especially if we really have no other choice.

I have seen many proposals similar to that and while I appreciate the feelings behind the intention if it was that easy to eradicate poverty around the world don't you think poverty should not exist anymore? The fact that poverty is still a problem in the 21 century means that is probably impossible to eradicate and that is something that will will need to accept.

Yes with the help of the government we may eradicate poverty government should create more jobs to solve unemployment in the country and if you belong to the poor family you must be smart and have the guts to become successful and rich someday you must have a goal in life.

Thats right because the key of poverty is that they are lazy to try to change their living conditions. if they want to change their condition.
of course they will patiently look for the right job for them and make a profit that can bring them to a better financial condition

The government itself too should be more responsible to provide more job opportunities to the unemployed people so they will also have their own source of income.I believe if the government will go down to the level of the needs of the people then surely poverty will soon to be eradicate.

I don't agree with theory that poor people want to be poor. But that is deeply question of sociology and psycology and in some countries people just don't have choice and they are forced to live day by day struggling to survive.
It's utopia to expect for people from third countries to achieve the standard we have in the west over night. And let's be honest, developed countries are fine with that they stay poor.
Some have ideas that cryptocurrencies are solution for poverty but like I said, this is utopia.

No one wants to be poor, but there's a proverb quite to the point and which is worth mentioning here: "if wishes were horses, beggars might ride". It is not just about want or wish, it is about will and actually doing something to get out of poverty. Indeed, when your options are not many, it is a way harder. But let's admit it, for the majority of beggars out there, it is not the lack of options or opportunities that put them in misery in the first place and makes them stay there now. And that's one of the reasons why giving beggars money won't change anything.

However, the problem is that people has no contentment even if had some luxury in his/her life seeing another individuals that had much more than his/her wealth then probably that one may aim for more. So money for them would be the mere reason that why should they not give it to those poor individuals or poor families. They will just say that they had work hard on it so why should they give? Problem with people nowadays.

Yes, if only we are corteous enough to find a job for us not to be a beggar in the streets. We need to work hard, and help one another. Those who have enough should help those who are poor not to feed them but to edu ate them in finding a job or give them jobs to earn for a living.

Hope the world was that simple to live in. There is a technical error with what you propose. 90% of the total value in the world is intangible. The father of entire capital Market is DEBT. The world owes so much of debt that we can never repay it.

The entire valuation premise is Debt fuelled where the valuations of stock, land and gold are inflated because we have raised debt to appreciate its value. If all the equity in the world was sold at the same time, even all the wealth in the world would not be able to buy it.

The entire concept of money market is very philosophical and confusing at the same time. You would need a very clear understanding of how an economy works to know why poverty can never be eradicated. We can reduce it to a very miniscule population but it will creep back once the economic cycle goes down. You can delay the slowdown of growth using stimulus but then again you are using money (DEBT) that you cannot payback. One very faulty assumption that I come across is that education can lead to poverty alleviation but that is not the case.

But again, all of those concepts are from a Macroeconomic point of view.

Well, each person has its own priorities and point of view in life. If one is already contented with what he has even if it is not much for other then it's good for him but there are just people that even if they already have money that can make them live comfortably even if they don't work anymore, they are just not contented with it. They want more of it and become more greedy that's why when it comes to trading as well, even if some already has profit, they would not sell it because they want more and sometimes they would end up at a loss because of price volatility.

I am very interested in your statement, everything you say is very true, I really agree.
all of us must be aware that in the wealth we have there are other people's rights, especially the rights of the poor. there is nothing wrong if we give them a little of our wealth.
especially if we give them jobs to meet their needs.

If everyone wants to be united to unify their vision and mission, surely it can. Cause to eradicate poverty, it's very important to increase one's human resources first, then create new jobs.

Definitely! It is really true that whether or not you are born poor, your parents are no longer responsible for you to become poor also. It has to be you now who needs to change and make up for your future. It is really how you manage your life.

Your idea is commendable, but I'm afraid it won't work. There has always been injustice and inequality in the world financially, and today, as thousands of years ago, the picture is exactly the same.
less than 1% of people around the world own more than 99% of the wealth of our planet and this balance is difficult to break.
Even if we collect all the money from all over the world and divide it equally into 6 billion people, in 10-15 years the picture will be restored because the society is not similar to each other. Always survival of the fittest Is nature. Those who are weak will lose their money or drink and lose, and the strong will become rich again.

I think this is not possible and the main reason behind this is unavalaibility of proper education.We can spread awareness as much as we can but untill proper education and knowledge is not provided to people we cannot end the poverty.Government should try to provide proper facility and knowledge to the citizens.

In order to eradicate poverty,  the people who are in poverty should show that they are willing not to live in poverty anymore and one can't be begging on the streets if he or she wants to escape poverty.

Well, life generally is not about hard work, and it is all about being smart. Absolutely, for a country that is ridden with poverty, it is usual to always notice there is always a problem from the leadership, the level of corruption in such country and the unavailability of things that are necessary for the citizens to thrive and succeed and in such kind of settlement, it is always hard to say eradicating poverty would be easy unless a lot of changes are made most especially with such leadership.

Poverty is present everywhere. You can meet people living under the bridge even in New-York, and they are not necessarily unlucky with their whole lives. Corruption is also omnipresent, and it looks like you can't eradicate poverty (or alleviate it substantially) with the help of those who facilitated it in the first place ("the leadership"). The implication is that we should first eradicate corruption, but this is even less possible than eradicating poverty, even though it is something less vague and more concrete.

For the world to continue the flow,balancing must happen and thats why theres poor and theres richest,so eradicating poverty is not even a good idea,maybe what is better to lessen and turns to good balancing
Why needed to eradicate the poverty when people themselves wanted to stay in theirs positions?
Even how hard you wanted them to have good living if they dont want to be growing thats a nonsense job

This seems like a good answer, redistributing the wealth of other people is not going to work long term, we have seen this happening many times already in the history of the world, the only thing that works long term is that each person stops making excuses and blaming the government or the rich for their problems, they need to understand that if they do not like the circumstances in which they live then they need to do something about it because no one else is going to do it for them.

It is not your fault if you are born poor because those are the circumstances in which you were born but if you die being poor then that is your fault, because there are a lot of things that you can do to improve the circumstances in your life.

Wow it looks like you like to blame the victim.  Our system is very corrupt and unfair, a lot of luck is involved in life.  The whole point of society is for everyone to work together and raise everyone up.

Poverty is one big serious problem of so many countries. The government are doing their job in helping the poor people. But those people are not helping themselves. Poverty is hard to eradicate if the poor people don't help themselves. They should cooperate and have the willingness to go out of poverty. Here in my place the government is giving incentives to indigent family. But i saw those family who are given incentives only use the money in gambling and in vices. They don't use it to start a business to improve their way of living. So how can we eradicate poverty if many people are like this.

In reality though, poor people are actually in debt even before their birth. The debts and the wrongdoings of their parents, they have to deal with it. With bad education in their area which they can't afford, they have to strive in order to get an actual job. A lot of these people have to work side jobs which people don't want to do. To even get to high school, they need someone to fund them even with the free education going on. It's free education but it's not free food, free shelter, free medical needs. People are still in need of those things and sadly poor teenagers have to get those for themselves because their parents are unable to do so.

It really isn't your fault that were born poor, it's you parents' fault. But that leaves you with so much things to deal with. On the bright side, if you are able to successfully deal with them, it makes you a person better than most. But sadly, a lot of poor people aren't able to turn around their lives and overcome poverty.

I believe in that , we can really eradicate poverty  if we trully want , in the side of the poor , they can by working hard and not being lazy, and will not be dependent too much from others who gave them help ,the poor should also work hard, in the other side of the people who have the resources , they should not also be greedy and extend their help of any kind to the much poor people, so if we united and help each other , wr can really eradicate the poverty.

I disagree, why do you think cryptocurrencies were created in the first place? Because the governments are not very good at anything, governments are very inefficient and that is because they have no competition, in the free market things work completely different, since there is competition businesses need to become very efficient in the use of their resources, so governments will never be able to eradicate poverty or unemployment.

In any case, the cryptocurrency can not eradicate poverty. Cryptocurrency in itself does not create wealth. In fact, it only redistributes them. According to the law of conservation of energy, if in one place something is added, in another it will necessarily decrease. Poverty can be gradually overcome only by technologies that accelerate or increase the growth of material goods.

For poverty reduction, many government policies need to be implemented to improve the livelihoods of the people. In addition, every citizen must improve and try to escape from poverty in order to get rich so that the ability to escape poverty is sustainable. Poverty is a very common practice when the world economy is as difficult as it is today.

This must start on every individual and we should not depend on our government. Poverty is everywhere, educate people first and we will reach this kind of goal. Maybe cryptocurrency will help us to achieve it.

Through the help of the government and its people can poverty totally eradicate. By giving the poor people free education and livelihood projects and the people who received those benefits will study hard, to have a good job in the future and to become successful.

IIRC that's the exact course of action that Singapore took, which eventually led this country to become ranked with the 3rd highest GDP per capita.

Thats right. without interference and government assistance. I think it is impossible to eliminate poverty in the world because you know what one individual maybe not have the power to improve themselves? such as not having knowledge and high education so they cannot work and improve their economy. so that government policies is indispensable

Even without the help of crypto currency we can always help eradicate poverty by simply redirecting wealth. For one thing the 1% of the 1% are values at billions of dollars and we are left with the reat to split with. This gross hoarding of resources really takes a toll at the resources available yo everyone else.

Throughout human history, there have been rich people and poor people , and I think even when the number of jobs increases , there will still be a lot of poor people.

Without the government involved, which might be something a little bit hard to achieve I must say. Sure, a lot of people may find a way to do well for themselves, wealth may be distributed to certain levels, but at the same time, we also have to consider that to eradicate poverty, a lot would have to be done with the economy, a lot will have to be done with corruption in most places, and with these kind of things going on, a government that cares less about its own people will always do things to jeopardize things and want to by all means segregate the rich from the poor while having few rich ones and more poor ones. The government has a huge part to play in poverty eradication as far as I am concerned.

It would be very nice to see if there will be equality in all the resources and money in the world. But i think, the poor and wealthy is just balancing the world. If all people are wealthy or have enough money to have to meet their everyday finances, who will do the work that will produce the basic necessity? Or who will plow our farm, or catch the fish?. Also, giving alms to the beggars in the street is not adviseable because they will just continue  begging because they knew they will given again.

In my opinion, we can totally eradicate poverty if people are educated and skillful. They can find job that suit on their educational background and skills. Also, the country they belong could provide jobs to everyone.

In my very own opinion on how we will eradicate or stop the poverty, we must all have the proper education so that we will be able to find a job and lessen the unemployment of the people, due to having a proper education we can stop or destroy the poverty that was occuring right now.

Sometimes we cannot blame ourselves why we only have this kind of status in life because our family has only this kind of capacity, but I am hoping that we can all improve ourselves to change our live.

No one in any country has been able to completely eradicate poverty. The eradication of poverty was also one of the main slogans of the socialist countries. We see what came of it. In fact, the collapse of the socialist system. It is unlikely that anyone will succeed in the near future. It should also be borne in mind that some people themselves tend to be in poverty and, in this way, they believe they gain complete freedom. This is their philosophy of life.

We have more than enough resources to spread around the world and totally eliminate poverty.  The problem is there are a lot of billionaires that are just too selfish to share anything.

I think the best way to eliminate poverty is to help them with their knowledge or support them. Because only giving them money will only help them a day or a few days if we help them a job they will live a few more years. This is just my personal opinion

have you seen youtube videos where people pretend to be homeless yet int he end of the day they actually drive a car and live in an apartment? you can imagine how much of them will pretend to be when some billionaires roaming to give them something.

philippines is where i'm form, this country has no winter, the plants grow all year. its surrounded with waters that anyone can fish. everyone here should be able to get food for themselves but with corrupt government we all lose opportunity. its the government that should be fixing themselves first before it can serve its people.

In singapore that is possible because of the good political leaders and very few population rates so they made such a huge growth in very short term but even in Singapore there will be poor people/In country like China or USA where population is very high and much parts were corrupted in government side so even if we want to make measures to avoid the poor it will not be completely possible.

As what Gabali126 said, we should teach the poor on how to fish instead of giving them the fish that we caught. The main point of it is that they will only live for a day because you just gave them a fish but if you teach them how to fish they will live for a long time and not just one day.
So, education is the most important key for a success of a person and their dedication on how to learn.

Beggars on the streets do not guarantee that they are poor people, because there are many news circulating that reveal that if beggars are not 100% poor, to empower street children or street people it has indeed been implemented by the government in my country which eventually they will be fostered to have expertise specifically that will make it creative by having a job. If it is easy to channel funds to the poor, you can directly visit their home or residence directly, so that the donation fund is guaranteed to be 100% right and far from corruption.

Ofcourse we can. Current poverty is quite a special case.
 I believe an automated poverty control system built on decentralized platform  and funded by users could reduce it (and dependency on governments/people) to its barest minimum. I prefer this method for reasons I don't want to go into.

The system should be able to manage users money algorithmically... Poverty sometimes is caused by people's poor management of money.

There should be a way to guarantee sustainable jobs, sustainable salary and sustainable unemployment/underemployment benefits. I think this stuff would be best handled on automated,  decentralized and self-sustaining system.

I do   believe  that  we can eradicate poverty  with  the  help of the  government that  they should educate poor  people  by teaching  them  financial  education  how to save  and how to   Invest   and that's  the key  to escape  poverty. 

Yes.It would help also.Maybe the government can offer livelihood projects to the poor and jobless people so they can have their own source of income to support their family needs.There are also elite people who can offer some opportunity jobs for the poor ones so that poverty will be reduced and hungry mouths will be already feed.

Being close-mindedness for improvement and for better living is one of the reasons why poverty comes in. Just like some people who don't believe in cryptocurrencies is like missing the opportunity to change their lives into a better one.

Yes of course we can completely destroy poverty by helping those people who really need help but its better if the government should do something or do program that help many people to have a income. But its depend to someone that was help by government program because sometimes the problem is the people they helped. So I think we can escape from poverty if we want, since many livelihood programs are offering of government and there are so many rich people are also want to help them.

There is no magic wand we can wave to eradicate poverty. the causes of poverty vary widely, and no simple solution will change it. It'll take decades to lift people out of poverty. The international community can help, providing aid and a fair market for goods from poor countries. Aid alone doesn't help, it has to be targeted towards trade, education, and other infrastructural projects. All this must be coordinated, designed by the developing countries themselves, and avoid the mistakes of the past where so-called 'experts' with little knowledge on the realities of poor countries prescribe poverty. Also, local leadership, vision, and transparency in poor countries is pivotal. If not, aid money will end up in European Banks, as has been the case in the past decades. my two cents.

I think, the way to eradicate poverty is creating jobs for unemployment peoples. If peoples have a job, they have income and make economy run by consumption and investment.

right I agree with you there is indeed a social responsibility that we must fulfill to eradicate poverty. my religion also teaches that 2.5% of our salary belongs to the poor and we must give it. poverty is not only the responsibility of the government but all of us. if we routinely provide assistance, I am sure there will be no poor people. unfortunately most people are selfish they only think about themselves.
and we can also invite them to learn about cryptocurrency so that they can participate in the bounty or campaign project. so they can also get paid and escape poverty. but this requires patience and process.

It can also be called a struggle. Because, success cannot be achieved, in an instant way. There are no people who are suddenly successful. Surely they achieve success with effort that's not easy. If you want to be successful in the crypto world, you also need to add your insight and learn more. Even though all of that's not easy to do, but you have to believe that you can do it and can achieve success in the future.

Poor people can easily be persuaded and controlled. They generally vote according to their ideology. Thus, governors are just giving empty promises and do nothing in order to destroy hunger and poverty until the next election. They find funny excuses for doing nothing for poor people and get their vote again. If poor people stop being behaving like a stupid kid and make reasonable decisions when voting, don't forget, and ask for what is promissed; they can eliminate liar politicians and be wealthier by time.

Yeah, but that's only done at the community level. It means personal thought. If the activity of the cryptocurrency market creates a small fund for charity. That would be a plus for later steps of crypto.

It is easier said than done. Poverty is not something that can easily be eradicated, if all the necessary things are not provided by the government, in terms of infrastructure, amenities and so on. All these are something that would bring about industrialization, there would indeed be more jobs, and people will always have a way to live a good life and enjoy most part of it without having to live in penury.

As long as all that is not provided, we will get to see some people getting limited in their space, but as long as people find somethings to do, it will help the economy as a whole to thrive and in a thriving economy, poverty level absolutely reduces.

I concur, it seems very easy to say the governments need to be responsible for this but the truth is that if you want to reduce the level of poverty then each person needs to take responsibility and try to do something to improve their economic situation, and the best way to do this is with education of quality for everyone, that way more people will get out of poverty.

All societies at all times tried to eliminate the poverty of people and no one has yet succeeded. Why did someone decide that this will succeed now? Because there was bitcoin? Will he feed the hungry? After all, with the help of Bitcoin, nothing material is created, which means that this is another illusion.

Giving money is a good way to help others but it may be helpful if the person who recieve that money use it to improve his or her life.  Always bear on our mind that when you always give money when you see the person on the street when you pass by  , you make them lazy because they will only rely on what you are giving. Instead you must do something to help them in other way not just by giving  money.

Totally eliminating poverty seems to be impossible, because once the majority of the people starts to climb the ladder you will see that the prices will start to go up, and it is not because of the rich being greedy but because it is part of the basics of supply and demand. Once a lot of poor people will become middle class they will start buying the things they don't usually buy which affects the demand on everything thus increasing the price. Totally eliminating poverty is not possible but the other alternative is we can ensure that people at the bottom of the hierarchy can get the basic needs they need like three meals a day and proper education.

No fool would use their money to give to others because of pity, everyone here is looking for profits not to distribute morality. You should remove this thought from the beginning because in this world can only be the hierarchy of the rich and the poor.

Somehow it is better to be poor, because this kind of people can say what is humanity and which is the direction we shall take to create peaceful society.

Giving money to the poor is one way to curb poverty. I believe we can't eradicate poverty by giving money to the poor alone. I think we need to have a positive mindset so we can find a better and a more practical way to eradicate poverty from the system.

Poverty is just a decision to everyone and it is their choice that they came up to that. Rich is born to that but poor people have a chance to be rich if we work hard, think of a way how to earn big income or start a small business.

Being rich is what we always dreamed of.If we were born poor we need to work hard inorder to achieve it.We also need the help of the community to grow and explore different strategy on where our luck comforts.Working hard and luck i think if it could be combined we can reach our goals and become more successful.

Poverty can be eradicated, no doubts about that. Firstly, to deal with poverty, it must be tackled from the psychological aspect. Poverty is a state of mind. What may seem poor to someone, may seem riches to another. We should learn to set realistic goals within our limits and learn to be content with what our efforts bring us.
On the other hand, poverty can be handled with the Blockchain technology. Most people are poor because of slowed business progress. Integrating Blockchain into a business brings an added sense of value to the business in the field of the payment systems. Once there is transparency and effective payment system (Blockchain offers this), there is likely going to be an increase in work productivity and increase in profit making margin.

Poverty can be lessen but not eradicated, It depends on the person how to handle it.

There is difference between giving money and giving business. For example; giving a specific person a money without knowledge in proper allocation will be spend  out for nothing.But if you give him a business with proper knowledge, that person will learn  to value the money knowning how to work for it and properly bugdet it.

-Giving money to the poor  is not the solution for them to become rich.

It is too ambitious to think of eradicating poverty. Why don't we start making one person's life better, just one person at a time.

the awareness of sharing for the rich is very low compared to their wealth, they are never satisfied to hoard their wealth, they only look up not looking down, this causes the rich become richer and the poor become plentiful.

This is not an ambition to eliminate poverty of many people. I agree with OP that to eliminate poverty must start from yourself, you must have the desire to change your economy. that is the key. if you already have the intention and want to change it. then you must have the spirit to find jobs to get income and change your economy for the better

No, I am against your point of view. The law of wealth distribution is not a known situation. In fact, the poor do need money very much. But if you give it money it will only continue to run out. You give him a job or an idea.

Giving money is only a short-term solution. A long-term solution needs to come from the government in form of better education, more opportunities etc.

Yes I am totally agree with you. There is a saying that Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime. If you want to help people then you do not need to give them a cash or things instead teach them on how to earn. Giving them a cash or things is consumble and they will look for you again to ask for it but if you teach them on how to work it is last for a long time.

Governments can reduce poverty rates by improving the quality of education, training skills for workers, or giving them the opportunity to get jobs such as bitcoin.

Of course in order to overcome poverty a person must make an effort to earn money. Even in poor countries there are people who work hard and have a good condition.

if you want to live not poor then you must be able to find a job and of course you must be able to fight hard because if you do not fight hard it will be very difficult to be rich.

It all has to start from oursleves, if creating job is the solution then we need to take action in order to land for a job. Sometimes we tend to ignore opportunities in front of us and use to blame others for our misfortunes. It needs focus, know your priorities, and learn to be strategic. Poverty has long been an issue, and people from across the globe have different opinions about this long crisis. Be your own boss, don't depend much on others, it's you who can make a big difference in your life, from the decision you make and from every bad and good experience you've been through.

Poverty is not a hindrance to reach our goals in life in fact many successful entrepreneurs now are started from rags to riches those people is a big inspiration to all of us,it is very difficult to achieve directly our ambitions but we can carry it out no matter how hard they are,all we need to do is to believe in our self,work harder,perseverance and especially faith in God because that is the best key of our success.

indeed mental learning is important, it seems unwise if we give our assets directly even to those in need, we better open new jobs and hire them, so we teach them to work hard instead of begging, beggar mentality is very dangerous because will make people lazy stupid and always ask for mercy from others, if the mental already exists in the younger generation then it can be imagined to be what our country will be in the future

Yes it was I really agree with that thing. And education is really important to people who really wants to grow in order too get their dreams that they want to get in the future. That's why even I have a financial problem to support my schooling in a higher attainments I still encourage myself to study in a vocational course that can make me improve my skills.

Yes of course, we can totally eliminate poverty if we really want to by pursuing to have an education because having an education is one of the best way to eradicate poverty. But sometimes some people the education are not their priority because the only want is to get earn for daily lives. But once they give importance the education surely they will change their life.

until the rich are sated, the poor will receive nothing and as it never happens, then and poverty to eradicate won't turn out.

What is poverty? If varies in different countries. If poverty in the U.S. means being on welfare and having the govt. pay for your cell, food and even some discretionary spending, then that in my eyes isn't poverty. Go to a third-world country and see what poverty really is, especially where the govt. is corrupt. It's a different mentality, there is no need to help out the people, only those in power. It's a never ending cycle.

If you really wanted to end poverty, then you have to make a firm decision going into it and you have to work for it too. For instance, investing in crypto can be one of the decision you might take but you need to be willing to take the risk in doing so.

Not all people have guts to try crypto, they think it is still not beneficial to have it or scared enough to risk on it. Or simply they don't have means to have and buy some crypto.

   Im still believe that no one is poverty if people have a good decision making. if you want to be rich, you can loose everything you have now,change your idea, set your goals and dreams for the future,and start learning for the successful people this is the starter to achieve your dreams in the future.

I am one of the people who wants to eradicate poverty, but before I change the lives of others, I have to change my economic life first. for now my economic life is still lacking even though it is not a poor person, therefore I have not been able to help others with my material.
In my situation like this, one of the ways to eradicate poverty is that I always invite friends, relatives and neighbors to work together to find work to earn income to improve the family economy, one of which is I invite them to join crypto. I am sure the things I do are included in one way to eradicate poverty, even though the final decision depends on the people we invite to change, whether they want to improve their economy or not.

I have doubt in my mind if we can eradicate poverty. Because even if we are helping other people to improve their life. If they don't even help themselves we cannot do anything to help them. They shoild help themselves too.

not only the rich, everyone in the world is never satisfied with the finances they have, because the more money they get, the more they spend. It's just that, the awareness of each person to help each other is very low, even many who do not care about others, most importantly we are happy and a lot of money.
One way to eradicate this thought is that we must realize that everything we get is entrusted from God, there are many ways to help poor people, one of which is to tell them about cryptocurrency.

Therefore, I will always want to teach about making money in the world Cryptocurrency to everyone in my neighborhood, my friends, so that they too can feel the satisfactory results of the Bitcoin or other Cryptocurrency. By this way I think we can eradicate poverty in our lives. 

I agree that eradicating is our collective responsibility but the truth is that most rich people are practically hoarding this ideas and knowledge on how one can get rich .
This makes evenly distribution of wealth difficult.
Another issue is that most poor guys are too lazy to follow up on the strategies and ideas passed down by the rich .

I agree with you!
There is actually a saying that says don't give fish to someone, instead teach that someone how to fish and the will learn how to survive!

Which is why I believe poverty reduction is not always about giving out money, helping people to learn the necessary skills of survival is the best solution as it can help eradicate poverty in the long run.

Poverty will never be eradicated. Someone has to constantly suffer the other to live well. Such laws of nature and economy. If all at one moment will start to live wonderfully, then in a very short time all this will collapse because there will be no servicing personnel to watch someone over it and then collapse will begin.

maybe the purpose of investment is to get a better economic life and that can also make poverty more profitable if the state or government can manage well and be able to provide something better for people in need

that was true, but people who having money looking someone like that in more long purpose not in the short term purpose, if i giving money to some poor people it can make their life more easier but not make any improvment in their life after all, just giving not make them can life for more years, but giving the job can make their improvment in their life economic

Even service personnel can live in good conditions. Topikstarter means absolute beggars, unemployed without prospects. The problem of poverty is more in the worldview of the poor themselves, it is often easier for them to live like this, even without trying to find a job.

I agree that the best advice is "help yourself." In our world, it is so accepted that no one owes anything to anyone. And rich people are not obliged to help the poor. Although it might be fair. But then rich people can also object - they became rich thanks to their work and knowledge. Some poor don't want to do anything to live better, they are satisfied with the role of the victim. And it is very sad but no one can help such people.

I completely agree with you when you say poverty can be greatly reduced through our actions. It is really a pity to see those who have still willing to claim the little of the poor ones. If we learn to realize that success is best enjoyable if most but not one person has it, we will learn to help the poor in whatever way we can

Really a good task to discuss about, but answer is a big no. Not directly from me, but from people. Maybe you see around that your friends look sad at poor people or you'll see a poor child who has one wish when he/she grow up: One day I'll become rich and will help all poor people.
This world will never be what we have expected when we were children, also remember, if I am rich it's because you are poor. This world works this way, people, even from their first seconds when they born, are egoist and only care about themselves. If we really want to make everyone normal and avoid anyone to be poor, then we wouldn't look for cheap workers in china, africa and in another countries, we wouldn't try to get rid of business opponents. This world doesn't works this way, not world but humanity.

it would be very tiring to do that. I see that poverty is a choice, such as poverty due to laziness, poverty due to crime and poverty because it does not want to get out of the comfort zone, we must change the mindset of the poor then we can make him change his life..

I couldn't agree more! Honestly, poverty is something we really can't eradicate because poor people tend to rely their needs to the government rather than take action in making their living better. If we give money to them easily we actually aren't helping them in fact we only make them lazily and tolerating their current situation.

Indeed, poverty can be eradicated with the help of the Blockchain technology, especially in the underdeveloped and developing countries.  Blockchain has the capability of distributing worth across the globe in order to bring financial freedom and satisfaction to all. No wonder, South Korea is seeing an incredible boost in their economy.

Lol, teaching people about Cryptocurrency wouldn’t help them make money. If you teach a poor man about Cryptocurrency where is he going to get the money to invest in it? There is no place he can get it unless you will be the one to sponsor him. I wish I would be rich one day to the extent I will be able to help poor people in my place to start up a business and live a good life. In this world, most people are just fighting themselves and their family, no one cares about others around… And when you try to show people that you care, they will only take advantage of you. Very bad.

I don't think that eradicating poverty is possible in real life, it's utopia. It's like you say you can eradicate all diseases in the world.
Of course there are methods governments could make to diminish the poverty but not all countries are in the same position and not all people have equal possibilities. Even cryptocurrencies can't help to fight poverty entirely and there is no magic formula for that. Also, don't forget that cryptocurrencies don't bring always only profit.

Most of the people I know are also against giving cash to people and helping them in other ways. But middle class people cannot do much. Creating a system or teaching them to do something might consume a lot of time and a person with regular job or business might not be able to manage this.

Solution to this is a combined effort from everyone to develop such a system.

I completely disagree. If I worked hard enough to become wealthy and paid taxes why should I be bothered with beggars, homeless, etc.?
Isn't it the responsibility of the government to distribute our taxes in such a way so that they help others who experience difficult life situation?
Shouldn't is be the problem of those beggars to find any kind of job (cleaner, dishwasher, deliveryman) to earn at least several hundred dollars a month and rent a small room?

This is not possible because Crypto is not God's blessing. Cryptocurrency was created to replace FIAT, and it still has the nature of FIAT. The rich are always pioneers, so there is no way to help the poor get rich. I believe that the gap between rich and poor is becoming more and more isolated.

Lol I always argue with my friends about this same topic. I always tell them that as long as human beings are greedy, there is no one you can end poverty. We live in a world where people are very greedy and everyone cares only about their pocket than helping others. Everyone wants to be above others and give commands and being called Boss. So funny. With the way we are going, poverty will never end in this world.

In fact, human games are a brutal competition. This is a historical testimony. Equal wealth is not suitable for human beings. Only some people cannot meet the progress of society. If everyone is satisfied, humanity will enter a recession civilization. But the help for the rogues is really too little. This is an era that we cannot change and can only be left to the people of the future to solve.

You are right , I think it will be a good way to help people in need. We need to help them to survive in everyday life but of course they need to work hard for that. If we keep on giving them offerings , there will be a time that they take advantage on us.

Well in my opinion no one can eradicate poverty. There will be poverty in different forms at different stages of life. You can’t make everyone rich or even in middle class. This is natural fact.

Even if we truly want to eradicate poverty but we can not totally eliminate poverty , because we can not totally convinced every people around , in any corner of the world ,for not all people are eager to get out from poverty, because some people are not all working so hard , because some are so lazy ,and do not want to level up their life.

right, the characteristics of each person is different, but of course with the existence of hard work and opportunities, success is in front of the eye. with all the limitations, sometimes we are led to think outside the box

The levels of poverty all around the world have been decreasing for decades so even if there are many people living in poverty that percentage has decreased significantly and if things keep going in the right direction then that tendency is going to maintain itself, but eradicating poverty is not a problem that can be solved in a matter of days, it will take even longer maybe even more decades or maybe even centuries but it can be done.

right i agree with. but unfortunately not everyone has this kind of thinking. most rich people think that the wealth they get is the result of their hard work so why should it be shared with the poor. they are poor because they are not smart and work hard. this is the way of thinking of some rich people who are greedy. so I think we need to invite our rich friends to think that sometimes the poor have worked hard but still have difficulty in making money. and our job is to help him by giving him the right job.

In reality, life is a competition, where to get something desired must go through a struggle that is not easy, even sometimes very hard. This hard work ethic must be cultivated in the poor so that gradually there will be improvements in their lives. Increased income does not come suddenly, but must be fought for.
