Can Bitcoin be used for Good?

[dragunfly]

Absolutely yes because it is real money

That's it. Many people believe that using money normally is not good.
More people use it in good things rather than bad. I believe that.

what? why you say that using money normally is not good? there is no way that it can be true, i think bitcoin can be used for good because with it you can buy such stuff as food

Why is it hard to believe? We are all more happy when we use it to bad things. Gambling, greed, gluttony and a lot more. Money is power that is a lot of people really think.

But you are only a few people who use money for bad, most of the people like to use money for bitcoin and as bitcoin is also money they will also use it for the good ways for what they want to do.

From what I see, Bitcoin is much more used for good things than for illegal things. Most people use bitcoin for legit reasons, using it to easily send and receive money, and using it for online stores.

Yes bitcoin can be used  for good. For example, if big tragedy happens  to other country you can help easily using  bitcoin, you can send directly  the funds to the victim,  without going  through the hands of corrupt politicians.

[Xester]

Of course, I do not see anything bad with using bitcoins if that what you mean.  And you can used it for good as long as it is still on circulation.  Well, I do not think that it would be dead it is just that we should continue to use our bitcoins.

[Noctis Connor]

I do not use bitcoin for anyting bad. I use it to buy computers and graphics cards to do some mining.

How nice where site you visiting so that i can order some computer parta too because i want to change some of my computer staff thats why i nees some website that accepting bitcoin as payment so that i can easily understand things

[dandroid]

Yes why not, some people  already judge bitcoin as a bad  currency since there was rumor bitcoin is  used for money laundry , it will be nice to hear some community  raising funds using bitcoin to help  people and it will bring positive reputation for bitcoin.

That depends on the perception of individuals about bitcoin but most of the users used it in a good ways. To earn ,to invest , and to transfer money without going outside .
I think some people judge bitcoin because of its use on the DarkWeb ,me too i recently know about bitcoinon surfing the darkweb many said that bitcoin was used to buy ,hire, or kill .that transaction was made online until i found out that bitcoins was used in many good ways .

Something strange is happening to Bitcoin. Once viewed as a way to do business in the darkest corners of the web, the digital currency has rather suddenly become a favorite talking point among humanitarians and international development enthusiasts.

Bitcoin isn’t just for illicit transactions or Internet hobbyists anymore, but for helping the poor, the downtrodden, and the unbanked.

Perhaps Bitcoin can save them! Perhaps Bitcoin can save the world!

Regardless of whether this attitude is realistic—and more on that in a minute—the people focused on demonstrating the social benefits of Bitcoin are challenging existing narratives about the cryptocurrency. While early commentary focused on how Bitcoin might be used to buy drugs online, or for sending money without a paper trail; the social-good argument suggests that these uses were simply the first use-cases in which Bitcoin’s utility became apparent. But there are billions of other potential use. There are, for example, people who face significant obstacles in operating within the formal banking system—and these folks look very different from the shadowy hackers that tend to be seen as the prototypical Bitcoin user. They could be low-wage migrant workers sending money back home to their families, for example, or activists receiving money from abroad during tumultuous times.

Well if Bitcoin can be used in bad purposes of course you can also use it for good purposes. You can donate them to charity that accepts Bitcoin. Or you can exchange your Bitcoin to flat then donate them to churches or charity.

[machinek20]

Anything can be use for good, bitcoin also can be used for good thing, donate your bitcoin through charity, or teach somebody on how to earn money from bitcoin its a good thing, or you can use your bitcoin to help poor country or poor people

Absolutely yes because it is real money

That's it. Many people believe that using money normally is not good.
More people use it in good things rather than bad. I believe that.

using money in an ordinary way is a really good thing in my opinion and bitcoins also might be used for even better things such as charities or fundings

But we cannot give bitcoin in charity to the needy people as they do not have any access to the internet and will be unable to adopt it, the better option is that we have to buy goods of their needs and have to gift them for their uses.

They don't need to be able to use crypto directly, there are quite a few charitable organizations that accept donations in Bitcoin. Of course you need to do your research and make sure they are legit, don't just donate Bitcoin to obscure groups/sites. Here are two that accept Bitcoins and are considered trustworthy:

What? Why this declare "Can bitcoin be used for good?", So sad i read this  one. Bitcoins are stuff, We can't blame this stuff as effect for bad then have a chance to find hole to make this abuse. This are back again for not abusing this stuff, realy depends on you to using is as well.

[Mokuton]

For sure, not everyone has access to banks or bitcoin is cheaper to send than remittance places

[Xenophoto]

Of course, every single thing in this world has no evil intentions or good intentions. It all depends on how humans will use them. Everything that is positive can be used as negative and vice versa. Even though the social media has given Bitcoin a bad name by saying that Bitcoin is used in darkNet (which is true btw), Bitcoin can still be used in good ways. No matter how many people throw shades at bitcoin, there will always be plenty of people who will be using bitcoin in a good way.

[23dzmaz]

I thhink bitcoin already be used for good things, like bitcoin help people for online transaction like sent money or buying/selling something online and bitcoin also can be a second job. For me, bitcoin is good.

[bravehearth0319]

Even we are going to promote that people must use bitcoin for good but still the fact is that there are certain people that are using bitcoin not for good. But I would say that we must not do the same as what they are doing. Because for me, bitcoin is really created for our own good, convenience so we just need to use it responsibly.

[michelle1845]

Yes, of course btc can be used for good.  For example, the only thing that I'm doing is making money trading,  and that's good enough,  especially because I'm not doing anything illegal with it.

just like fiat there's still some people that use fiat for bad activities and it's cant be prevented and i think it's just an usual thing that happens in almost every currency so it's fine,if there's good activities then there must be bad activities exist

Almost all of us are using Bitcoin just for good things. The mass media is trying to tell us that it's not a good investment, but.. Isn't the USD used as a currency for these criminals too?
