Bitcoin Forum

Well in most developing countries of the world especially in Africa and southern America the battle of a stable currency has been there issue and this countries has sometime serious of inflation and there currency are so weaker can only be accepted for trade within their country.
 If bitcoin becomes adopted generally if will Forster a healthy trading ecosystem among countries and also tackle problems of inflation, slow and ineffective transaction processes and even prevent scam and corrupt practices

In fact, the adoption of bitcoin in underdeveloped countries will help not only economically, but also give a lot of jobs for the population. Therefore, the adoption of bitcoin in the third world is necessary.

Ideally you agree with your opinion.
However, in fact, I think there is a domestic currency control as one of the state power. If it is not a democratic country, I think it will not let go of it, or If the country is able to use own Crypto, it will be not Decentralized system like Ripple. In the end I think the king of country want to be under control everything .

You think of it ideally, but these things are far from getting.
Some good points will be like the following:

New markets: The use of cryptos will pave the way for more exchanges and thus more sales/purchases rather than the restrictions of local currencies.
Jobs: There will be more cheap labor and hence development for some families.
Price volatility: Bitcoin fluctuations may be very profitable for those countries especially at local prices.

Although cryptocurrencies are not a magic solution to all problems, their use will be limited to specific categories; fluctuations may result in significant losses and other things.

In my own views, I believe Bitcoin is the answer particularly to the developing countries where this is a big help for the people in these countries to lessen  the problem of unemployment. Joining bounties could be a part of the solution to the problem where there is an opportunity to earn profit through their participation. I believe that these people will at least gain financial freedom from their shortcomings.

Indeed adopting Bitcoins shall do wonders for their economies, as it'll give them a strong currency that'll appreciate in the long run. Also if they start mining it, they'll be able to sell it for fiat which shall strengthen their economy. If they start to do local transactions they'll save money on printing new currency, and this currency shall keep on appreciating which will lead to more revenues for them. New jobs can be created to cater to this new industry, hence I feel bitcoins can be a magical solution for the growing countries.

Adopting bitcoin to every country's economy is actually a huge deal. This will help users of bitcoin to invest and create their own business.

These needs a deep analysis than just applying it because of their economy breakdown or the rush need for a currency.
It aint that easy.

Yes it may be the answer to their problem but it could also be the worse disaster they will ever face.
With the price volatility it can be hoarding that will happen or could be a big dump that will affect mostly to their economy.

and to this day only developed countries have applied bitcoin in their economic systems such as in the future and other countries
because the politics of developing countries is very bad compared to developed countries, because for bitcoin politicians are a threat to them

I beg to disagree. They're still going to need their local fiat and bitcoin won't be the solution for their economic problems. Sure they can go trade within their country, but what if they go outside? Bitcoin is not yet globally adopted so there's a lot of adjustments. Bitcoin though can be a good tool to fight inflation but its not the go to "guy" to salvage their economy if that's what you are trying to drive at.

They have to study the adoption but they can support it and add it to their country's new source of taxation. That's all they can do but for their citizens getting support from the government for crypto's is such a big deal today.

true with the existence of bitcoin the economy of the country and its population is also helped and bitcoin is a job opportunity that promises results. with the existence of bitcoin the country and the world can be helped by economic problems and their financial strength

With the existence of cryptocurrency received in several countries is very helpful for all people in the world, especially in terms of economic developing countries can not be separated from the crypto world, and can provide jobs for those of us who have joined, hopefully crypto will last forever and can also succeed for forward.

Indeed, bitcoin is one of the answering problems, such as a new alternative to investment, but not just bitcoin, but the blockchain system is also being studied in developing countries interested in implementing it in the hope of solving problems in the country.

Although Bitcoin could really be the answer (to an extent, at the very least) to underdeveloped and developing countries with terrible economies, unfortunately, these countries are behind in every aspect there is whether it be technology, infrastructure, services, or even human rights. I don't think their disastrous regimes are going to side with cryptocurrencies easily. The only country, I know of, that made Bitcoin a legal tender to solve its inflation problems is (as should be expected giving their open–minded mentality for technology, in general) Japan.

These countries need sane economic policies before anything else, and the form of money is not very important here. We are all very well familiar with the Zimbabwean dollar and its ultimate collapse. Now they use the American dollar and a basket of other currencies. Obviously, this fixed the problems with currency inflation, but did it help them with their economic woes? Their economy is still in rags and ruins because it is not money that is the cause of the problem. In this way, money is a means to an end, and if this end consists only or mostly in robbing the country, it doesn't matter what kind of money gets circulated.

Yes, bitcoin will contribute a help to the people especially those people who lack financial support, but it is only for the individual interest of the people and I think economic growth from the society is not included due to bitcoin can't directly having a tax. So, that the reason why it's hard to adopt bitcoin in every country most like governments against this. Indeed, it is very helpful to us.

I don't agree with this position. How will bitcoin tackle inflation when bitcoin itself is not affected by inflation. Inflation is for fiat in my view which is usually caused by economic indicators.


These can easily be perpetuated with bitcoin... because it is easily to convert cash to bitcoin and stashed away without being traced.

Yes, it is true that bitcoin will help develop the economy, but most developing countries have not received bitcoin for various reasons. I am confused with the government.

For the record, bitcoin is not legal tender in Japan. It is just like any other foreign currency in that country, but not like the yen, the Japanese national currency, which is the only legal tender there. Other than that, it is not about the regimes siding with cryptocurrencies or staying away from them, it is about removing these regimes in the first place. Basically, they don't particularly care whether it be bitcoin, dollar, or gold as long as they can steal it. Fiat just makes it easier en masse, but in the end they would do just fine with anything else instead of a national flavor of fiat money.

Bitcoin is an investment that is very difficult to guess so I am not sure it will be good for everyone with a not too good economic situation, on the other hand we still have many problems in the government to adopt Bitcoin as a whole, fluctuating prices will trouble them with limited knowledge For me, Fiat is more important for now, don't be too far thinking about Bitcoin because there are still many things that need to be fixed.

Bitcoin will never be used as a national currency. Think yourself, how do you imagine it? Most part of Bitcoins has already issued and investors hold those Bitcoins. Let us go ahead, do you suggest that the government of Africa must buy Bitcoins from investors? If so, than what is the sense? There is another important question, as far as I know the total quantity of Bitcoins is limited and this limit will be reached in several years (I do not remember the number of years but it is exactly less than 10). How are you going to solve this trouble that in the near future there will not be new Bitcoins? I remember you that every economy need to have new money for developing otherwise an economy falls in stagnation.

Don't be so sure. Years ago people were saying that Bitcoin will never trade for 1000 dollars per coin. At that time it was maybe 500 dollars or less and people were praying for it to go to 100. Many people were saying that the Internet will never go beyond this strange network on which you can send messages or check the weather.
People are holding Bitcoins because there are no easy ways to spend it. This can change very fast.

It can help if they will design a system with a specific and definite use. Since bloclchain and crypto does have a record in every transactions and will get easily to do. But the country needs to be established first especially in technology.

In reality, the dollar has already assumed the role of replacing the fiat currencies of nations whose economies have behaved so critically that devaluation has shattered the exchange value of their respective currencies due to hyperinflation. While it is true that the US dollar seems to be strengthened for the apparently good time of the North American economy, we must bear in mind that the debt burden could end up sinking in the medium term to the United States.

Only then will be possible to discover how efficient bitcoin could be as an ideal alternative to solve the economic problems of countries in permanent crisis, even with the knowledge that its scalability problems seem to be a limiting factor for a massive use of bitcoin internationally.

Bitcoin would be a great help to prevent those corrupt practices but then it cannot perfectly prevent it because there is still the anonymity feature so even if you can trace the transactions, you will not know the people behind those addresses unless they would convert it to fiat and the authorities would then perform a KYC for those who would do so. I don't think bitcoin would be the answer to the issues because no matter what kind of currency the country has, if the root cause of the problem is not solved then those issues would continue.


Developing countries has problems when it comes to technology because most likely, there are places when there are even no electricity so it's not possible for them to use cryptocurrency in the first place. They would need to improve first their economic status and help the people in having those prerequisites first before they will focus in improving their economy through the help of cryptocurrencies.

To cut a long story short, I agree with you. Having said that though, it's not how it is going to happen in real life. It is not about the government of some African country willingly deciding to accept bitcoin. It is more about common people using it as a means of payment among themselves. Personally, I don't think that bitcoin as such is very usable and suitable in this regard and for that purpose but this is another question. So if the local population starts using, for example, litecoins or doges - somehow doges seem to be a perfect replacement for local currencies, cheap as dirt and fast as shit - the government will have to accept them whether they like it or not.

This is how things happened in Zimbabwe. It was not their government that had deliberately chosen to use the American dollar instead of the local dollars, Zimbabwean ones, it is the people of this country that started to use it. And then the government had no other choice but to completely abandon that ultimately useless garbage which they had insolence to call money.

Bitcoin is a blessing for those who are open minded.  It wil help individual but not totally the  whole country because not all people who knows bitcoin will agree with it. Some will reject it and make rumors to destroy it.  Bitcoin is just a way to decelop a good country but it depends on the person if he really adopt it or not.

Yes I do agree on your statement. It really opens door to people to have  a job to sustain their daily living.
