Can Bitcoin be used for Good?

[Boss CJ]

bitcoin can be used for good, bitcoin is the future of currencies i use bitcoin on so many various sites as a mode of currency to buy things or services bitcoin has many positive things.

Correct! It has lot of positive advantages, I can't see any negative aside from using it in gambling. You know, it really depends on every individual how we handle it well. For me, a btc is a big help for everyone, easy trading, buy goods and easy to earn.

now I always use bitcoin for something good, like paying the mortgage, or buy something useful like a laptop, collect it on my college tuition. I am sure that all users have been using bitcoinnya bitcoin for something good, because I feel that it is the natural thing to do bitcoin users

[deadpoolx]

All of bitcoin users are earning good profit in bitcoin and i know most of them are using bitcoin in a good way not other people using bitcoin for illegal things or the technology are good now because they using bitcoin for payment for drugs and other relatives illegal services.

The fact is that Bitcoin, by design, was created for good purposes, but not all users make money from it, as you said. There are many users who make wrong moves on the market, or invest into scam websites, cloud mining and that sort of thing.
Fortunately, this is not Bitcoin's fault, but it is the fault of individuals who have made wrong decisions when using it.

In Nigeria over 75000 children are going to die of malnutrition in months, says united nations( CCTV news focus on Africa) this excludes youths(including me) and women.The actual fact is that food is available but people simply do not have enough money to buy them. What strikes me deeply is that despite knowing various channels to help alleviate the money issue( notably MMM nigeria and MMMunited) I could not get started. I wanted to participate in MMM Nigeria using Bitcoins, but i have none. I also have plans to educate and promote bitcoins in my local community.I needed less than $20 worth of bitcoin to get started with mmm Nigeria and later mmm United, from here, I will be able to help myself and be useful to others around me. I don't know if i should call this a kind of fund raising campaign or begging for help, but what choice is left when people around you are also helpless,with everyone looking elsewhere for help,it is very frustrating. This is what fear, hunger and anger has pushed me to do.                    please help me get started    1AkBURZ7b9MetBywhNrxa9sbHJgio6GPrt               

You should make an plan, make a thread introducing you and your ideas, for sure here you can find some people that can give a small amount to you.

However without any info will be hard to people give you some money because there are a lot of scammers here...

What kind of question is this? Of course it can. Look at all the legitimate businesses using this technology. Overstock, etsy, Wikipedia, dish network, etc as well as all the individuals using the technology for small business.

It's hardly honestly to trust newbie here in our forum if you made your own plan. it is just a plan it is better to start it with his own and halving some capital to start and prove that your plan is work.. before you can ask to someone here and share your files and project to them because this is the only thing that you can just to prove that you are legit..
If you start and share only our plans here there is no someone here that can invest for your project..

Yes, bitcoin can used for good at those site that you said. But it is not so practicaly to fulfil our daily need, it still need time to send the goods. Not just for goods but also can used for sevice place too.

Bitcoin can and is being used for good. We should definitely get rid of the tainted image of bitcoin being associated with the deep web and drug dealers on the deep web, because that is not what bitcoin really is. Bitcoin is an innovation that can bring about goodness to hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people worldwide that doesn't have a reliable banking system in their country.

Sean's outpost accepts donations in bitcoin and that is probably the biggest charity i know of that accepts BTC.

Nowadays it's possible people use bitcoin for goods but not all countries adapted this kind of transaction for goods. This is the of future bitcoin digital currency to be implemented to selected stores who make offer of these services. Important thing is to educate people in every country on how to use this kind of currency and this will be explained how it works and the importance why this exist. Hopefully this will result to better progress in the future and everyone will recognize this.

Bitcoin can be used for good or bad just like any other currency including the US dollar. Any currency can and has been used for bad things. That is no reason to single out bitcoin when people use it for bad things.

I beleive that majority of bitcoins users have good intentions and want to use Bitcoin for good purposes. Just because some individuals use it for illegal activities that doesn't mean that Bitcoin is ment to be "bad" currency. Many legitimate business also use Bitcoins.  And we can't forget that everything good could be turned into something bad by bad people.

You hit the jackpot, but we cannot blame those who think negative about bitcoin as a coin of bad people since the history of bitcoin have placed a fact that it was greatly used before in the black market before the public started using it. But what you said is true it is no made to be solely used on illicit activities but it was designed primarily to be used by all people in all sorts of life.

All currency whether it is Fiat or Cryptocurrency can be use for anything. As it depends on the person who is using it, any form of money is used for exchange of goods we don't know what is it but we know it is required for any transaction. Also it can be neutral buying food for yourself is not considered as good or bad, donating Bitcoin to the poor if they accept it is considered as good.

Regardless of our intention, it's our responsibility to be matured enough, we have to face the risk of our action. If you do it for good then no problem with you but the general outcome is good for the market, we have made a big circulation due to great demand in the dark market.

Bitcoins can be used for good especially when people who are GOOD use it. Well, we know that there are a lot of bad people that use Bitcoin for illegal transactions whether it's for drugs, ammunitions, firearms, etc. I guess we just have to put good faith to the people who's intentions are for the GOOD. I hope Bitcoin would be used for financial transactions, it would really benefit the payor and the payee without the help of a third party, so the transaction fees are less. As for the researcher, Rachel O'Dwyer, Money Talks. This is the new money of this era. The blockchain technology still has lots of potentials.

Those who use it for illegal transaction I think they are not really for investing in bitcoin but rather just looking for another on how to pay up the merchandise without much of a trace. Though they are counted as transaction they dont really use it the way we do. So those who use it for good got a larger percentage that can push making bitcoin better.

If a few big companies, local or online shops and ATMs exist where you can go to pay or withdraw Bitcoins, then it means it can be used for good. I never used it for anything bad and I've been using it for almost 3 years now. Most of us are using it for normal stuff, not for illegal activity as we're taught by the mainstream media.

The term illegal is quite relative. Things like gambling that in certain countries is prohibited, is perfectly legal in other countries.

It's just an example that not everything is related to buying drugs, weapons, stolen goods and other bad things. It's different per country.

Just like fiat currencies, Bitcoin is also a tool that is being used by people. However, you can't blame Bitcoin for how people are using it. That's simply not fair.

[wuvdoll]

internet is the main thing that you need. It is true that it is depending on economic state of a particular country. The poors are not working for the phone or internet there priority is the food that they aill eat everyday

Technology has become so cheap that the poor people are finding it hard to earn for living and they can easily use internet and can easily afford other advanced technologies too, so I think they also have better opportunities to use bitcoin for making some good profits for a better living.
