I think only people can help but countries i think its hard for now since only people will work for it, then the only people who afford to buy gadgets and having internet connection were only benefited of bitcoin.
sure, only people can handle money, unless we talk about IOT and smart contracts etc, but this will also have to be installed/set in motion by humans. you can however improve the state of a county by improving the conditions of the people living in this country. does it have to be bitcoin? no! is there an advantage to do this in bitcoin? i do not see one.

Not really. The problem with Bitcoin and poverty is that Bitcoin is (by design) aimed for people that have an established technological system in place. You need some sort of device for Bitcoin to even exist, so in a poverty stricken country, it's not going to work.

He can, earning from a little but comparing with the value on their currency it's very worth for using bitcoin in poor countries because the bitcoin are standing into the shoulder of the USD, the strongly fiat in this time and that's why for using the bitcoin can helping the poor countries going outside from their problem.

I think Bitcoin can not help the poor countries because poor countries do not have the facilities available to them, they can not even trade bitcoin because they do not have a good internet penetration rate.

Well this is the main reason why I am saying that bitcoin can't help the poor countries, unless they are going to invest with computers and other facilities needed for their people to work for bitcoin. But I am very doubtful that if we are going to place these computers in the depressed areas in Africa, people there must be trained first on how to use computers.

You don't need a computer. All you need is a cellphone and a service plan. Most of the internet connection in the better countries of africa are from cellphones. Only some are desktops and laptops. It is perfectly possible for poor countries to benefit greatly from bitcoin. They can work online from anywhere in the world doing whatever they want and getting paid in bitcoin in minutes.


yes that's what i am using these days cellphones are the most convenient,easy to carry gadget where we can use to work in our bitcoin ventures, and im sure if poor people would know bitcoin they would surely gain money that can help their starving family buy some food in meals,lunch and dinners, bitcoin really helpfull since theyre are no scholastical record holding to earn more, and also bitcoin is i think the future currency where people would love to work since there are no boss in this industry.

Actually a guy in the previous pages talked about a third party... So you just don't need neither a cellphone or internet if you want to hold it...
For example you pay XXX fiat currency for this guy, he buys BTC and give to you a paper wallet or whatever...

There's a lot of ways, but, you know, if you are poor, probably you don't have money to hold bitcoin...
Bitcoins can do allot of tjhings but help poor countrys i dont think they can help the poor ones because the poor peopel are not even close to buy
a bitcoin so how can they help them.

they do not have to buy bitcoin, they can get for free, as we know pretty much ways to get a free bitcoin. but the more difficult things is about the facility. they must have a PC and Internet to get a free bitcoin. while, it would be really hard to obtained by poor countries other than the government provide to help poor people to be more creative and improve their economies of bitcoin.

That is the one reason that they may not have access to internet which can create a problem in earning bitcoins and the other reason is they should also be aware about the fact that they can earn money with bitcoins and if they are not aware about it they won't be able to make use of facilities available around them.

I am totally sure that bitcoin can help poor countries. There are countries with monthly salary like 100 $ and making bitcoins on the internet could help the user make more mone. And it is not matter exactly how gambling or just commenting here for some compaig. Even just commenting brings good money if you pay enough attention on it and it is not so risky as gambling.

I agree they cannot do this so they will not succeed in getting bitcoin that can help them due to the the fact they are to poor buy it these days.
I think its never gonna help these poor countries to be honest..

We cannot expect that it will help poor countries as a whole but people who are aware about bitcoins and can manage to earn them will surely help them as it will be an source of income for them which can take care of their living.

No, you should change your thinking, because if you think positive than you will receive positive response, I explain you how can bitcoin helpful for poor not country but poor peoples, You know you are doing work in signature campaign and earn from it, also we can do altcoin trading and investment, these all are earning ways, and everyone can do it and earn from bitcoins at home. It is like a source of income, not in a high level but it is and we should accept it.

Poor people earning some money through signature campaigns is something that I can understand and agree with, but how do you expect people to invest money that they don't have? Every dollar that they earn will go directly to their first life essentials. There will be no room for invesments as there simply isn't any money for. What's your repsonse to that?

Yes the bitcoin can help poor countries but it can not help them a lot, it can help them in some part in the future but most likely for the people itself it will not be something that can really help them to be honest.
Most likely this will not happen.
