Can Bitcoin Really End World Poverty?

[OpenOcean]

Bitcoin will not end world poverty by itself, I think. It's a step in the right direction though.

[MWesterweele]

I think bitcoins can end poverty maybe in a country or maybe the whole world.But there are facts and things someone need to start using and earning bitcoin.First is computer setup or cellphone that can use internet,internet connection itself and alot of time.Which other peoples cannot avail but if government will help them get that things then it may be the end of poverty

Can bitcoin really do anything to solve world poverty problem? Brian Singer certainly think so. He thinks that Bitcoin can bring minimum everyday earning for people more swiftly than any other economy system.

Is it possible?

I think it's possible, but for the near future is not. why not, due to limited information about bitcoin caused by the prohibition of some governments which ban bitcoin. But I guess if all countries have approved the use bitcoin, I think poverty can be eradicated. or could even benefit for corrupt and make more rampant poverty. thank you

Its really possible and i can see by using this i can earn the same or even much more for who works same in companies and it really help poverties because they can use it anywhere as long as there are internet connection,  money is in online and even students can go to school and sustain their tuition by joining this furom and other sidelines in fb groups.  They can earn money there.

My answer is no, Not all poor can use internet, Mid ranges family often use bitcoin.And i think they will not make the poverty end. you need luck and strategy when you are using bitcoin, Some lacks luck some lacks strategy.

If theira a will theirs a way men, for those saying no is just scambag and dont have courage and totally wasted guy how can you say theirs no internet while there free vpns existing in internet world and can provide free connection, no internet is not a valid reason for usinh it men if you really find ways you can earn with it and can sustain your living temporarily and dont think money will come to you just work for it thats what bitcoin offered to us to get easy side job earnings our only contrbution is we will work for it.

Creating wealth and financial security in the developing world - is not only satisfying our innate altruistic needs. It also indirectly beneficial to all of us. If we want a truly sustainable future for the Earth, we need to use all available tools to solve problems, and Bitcoin is a key element.

The appearance in the wide use of tools required for trading in Bitcoins, can change the world, lead to efficiency and wealth.

ahahaha this is funny. im imagining this i might start begging to people and tell them "Please send me some bitcoin. here is my address "1plasdasdadad" " lol

anyway moving on to the serious stuff.

 like what many people here said, my answer is no. because, how can you end poverty to the world if you cant end poverty for your self. we can only end it by having determination on what we are doing not because of bitcoin.

[quintiilieo]

for me its not there are so many factors to consider to end the world poverty if just can share all of our wealth to anyone i guess we can end the poverty. Its a big thing that the rich became richer and the poor became poorer. We can share all the resources that we have on earth to end the poverty if someone gets greedy poverty will not end

[BitcoinSupremo]

World poverty maybe not, but I have many friends online, mainly from India, and bitcoin has improved their lives quite a lot. They are earning almost a salary in Bitcoins without taking part in a signature campaign here and said they were very happy with it, so I invited them in this forum, told them to be patient build their rank to full member and join a signature campaign so they could earn more. They were much excited about this and yeah Bitcoin can end poverty for some people (the online money makers there) in India. Its a good sign, other poor countries persons should start to take this as an example.

Bitcoin is a digital currency that is basically real money. If people don't work for it like they would do at a normal job I don't know how Bitcoin will end world poverty. Bitcoin is not a charitable foundation dispersing free coins for everyone and people need to earn it with hard work or some initial investment. Unless some multi-billionaire philanthropist starts giving away tons of free Bitcoins poor people would need to find a job paid in Bitcoin but that would be very difficult given their circumstances.

Nothing can end poverty. The world population gets only bigger while there are already so many people that can't find themselves food, clean water, or any other things they need the most. It only gets worse. Even Bitcoin can't make a dent in decreasing the world poverty.

[Dournighader]

I don't think it can end world poverty , there will be always a gap b/w the rich & the poor.

[Joel_Jantsen]

Your point is correct newblet. There will always be the gap between rich and poor,educated and illiterates.If there is no gap,there would be no world,no economy,no development and basically no life.Only the rich are holding a lot of amount of bitcoins ,they pay these bitcoins to the working class which in turns makes them more bitcoins.Its a sick world we live in.

[robelneo]

I think it's to much for bitcoin for handle,It was not intended to save or become a savior of the whole humanity because Bitcoin capacity is limited,let us just use it for what it is intended for ..

[GonerGenesis]

I think it makes things easier to earn some bigger money for some smart people in countries with low gnp, but sure not for the whole world, at least not in the next hundred years.
And looking further fwd humanity maybe doesn't exist any more

[Daniel91]

I don't think so.
People who live in poverty don't have money, food and also electricity or Internet.
So, without such basic conditions, how Bitcoin can help them?
They can't even access or use Bitcoin.
Bitcoin can help only people which can use Internet, have basic understanding of English and basic education (thery must know how to read and how to write).
Such thinking is to idealistic.
Such tragic situation we can't overcome overnight, a lot work and effort is needed by individuals, NGO and world governments.

[HeroCat]

Of course not - BTC can not end world poverty, only enough income and food can end it. In Africa also available drinking water. 

[StoreBit]

no i dont think so. but it will reduce the rate of poverty i think. i think no a sing currency can end the world poverty. it need a quite good skill to earn bitcoin either from trading  or from a signature campaign. but so many people are there who do not have nay skill or education.

[dearbesz1219]

If we our going to compare it now,  I think it will too impossible that Bitcoins can end world poverty..
Unless the main leader of all countries will adapt the digital currency and teach all people in the world about Bitcoins how to use it.
