Can Bitcoin or any other altcoin help poor countries?
how? what can be done?
I do not think that i is going to be possible for Bitcoin to help whole countries because hat would be to much to handle for any company.
Bitcoin wold be able to help out a group of people but it would not have a chance to help a entire country.
Yeah it can help only those who are using bitcoin and earning money from it but it cannot help the entire country as people who are not aware about bitcoin will never use it.

I wouldn't see how tbh, like someone else mentioned maybe there will be less money going to corrupted governments because everything goes digital and they have no saying in this but besides that there's not much it could do I guess

Yes definitely bitcoin could help poor country to become rich because we can make money with bitcoin just by mining. so there only the mining system will cost and they could run their system with solar power so there is no electricity charge too. Finally they could make money out of bitcoin.

Honestly, do you even think before saying something? Governments are not interested in Bitcoin as they are looking to avoid it from entering their country. Poor people there already struggle to feed themselves, so how do you expect them to get into mining without money.... And if there will be a wealthy individual setting up an entire mining farm there, then it will only benefit this person and not the poor people.

Certain governments might issue a ban at some point in the future when Bitcoin is becoming too much of a problem that can disrupt their economy, but at this point we don't have to worry about that yet. Mainly because of Bitcoin being just an alternative currency/investment tool. That's why we must be happy with how Bitcoin is right now.

I am sure of it that Bitcoin can help some poor countries but if it is willing to do that and how they would do that are two different questions. But I know that Bitcoin is capable of doing something like this now or maybe even in the future.

In my honest opinion, I think bitcoin can't help poor countries because of some reason and any other altcoin can't also help them. I said it since having some amount of bitcoin is required to have a good earnings in bitcoin and other altcoin. Free bitcoin won't suffice for them to survive every day since they're earnings via faucets, signature campaign, etc. sometimes might not be enough to cover their daily needs but it will ease them though.

Agree it will not help the country but the people on it that is using bitcoin it it can help their daily needs or to buy some important stuff. Bitcoin is really good if you know it and know how to earn that is good method in earning money online. Also bitcoin help me a lot.

That must be true. When our governments will be thinking about regulations on bitcoin, bitcoin would have been developed as a most adopted payment system, probably everything will be available for bitcoin payments. When we are able to spend bitcoin directly for our life's needs, the never need to worry about any regulations.

Poor country people do not need to worry any such a ban. They will be able to use bitcoin all the time without worrying about their government's opinion/regulations on bitcoins.

well to get bitcoin, actually you don't need such a good amount of earning because bitcoin is flexible and because bitcoin also having satoshi units which make even with a little money could still buy bitcoin,and earning through bitcoin don't always mean you're earning it freely through such an effortful way

people can actually make a decent amount of money through signature campaigns for example, but for that they need a smartphone with internet, or either visit an internet cafe where they pay per hour. both options are quite costly in third world countries. for second world countries it's different since they can afford themselves a device with internet, but it will only help out a few people. and that's it.

In fact, if the government of a country to have introduced bitcoin and support to be used for the community, I think it could help the country so many people who do not have jobs have hope to find bitcoin. well, look for bitcoin is not too difficult, so if a poor country directs people who have no income to seek bitcoin, maybe business in the country will increase and I think it would be helpful

Bitcoin actually, cannot be the key to help the poor countries, why? it is because bitcoin can only help the individual poor member in bitcoin world, unless if the citizens in each country will become a bitcoin enthusiast, probably that's the time can say bitcoin can help the poor country.

You are right about that, we are thankful the Bitcoin is actually helping us earn extra money. But that extra money is not enough for people that are poor, in terms of getting it is easy but will it be enough for them to last a day? I guess not since there are also expenses involve in order to earn bitcoin online. Like electricity, cellphone/desktop, and internet connection all of which is greater than what you can earn online.

bitcoin is way to buy those things(food/clothes)...
and yeah, bitcoin can help.

poor countries doesnt have good jobs and bitcoin facilitate to work on internet. even signature campaigns(if you are at least senior) give you a good amount, if you do other works you will definitelly have a good income from bitcoin.

That is what those people need who lives in the poor countries. And that is not going to be an easy thing to make those poor countries being helped  by bitcoin. For they first need the facilities, computer, laptops, smartphones or any gadgets that allows them to be connected in the internet. And that is the way when bitcoin do its job for helping them.

People from poor countries will not prioritized in getting that things since they care for their money. Since the source of money is difficult no way they will put their money in that kind of thing. The price for that is not a joke plus the internet fees which I doubt will be present in those rural areas.

Without internet bitcoin can't help those poor people.

Very true, they would not intend to engage up onto these things  because they would surely prioritize  first  their needs rather than investing  into bitcoin or engaging on it. As you mentioned not all people do have  internet  connection and  thats already an expenses and they would not like to add  up on it.

bitcoin can't help an entire country,but can help individuals...and those individuals may be willing to help their country to grow economically and aid development
I think that it would be to much for bitcoin to help entire countries and they wold not be able to handle that maybe that they can just help a smaller group.
But helping entire countries requires much time, money and also a great plan.

Actually poor countries have really corrupt government and unstable economic system so all share markets are manipulated by rich guys so bitcoin can be option for those citizens to hold their money in the form of bitcoin and don't get affected due to such manipulation.
