Can Bitcoin help poor countries?

[lEgEndArIUs]

Yes, is even evidence in countries like Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina and Nigeria, it helps in remittance payment, against Government  regulation  (Uber in Argentina) and again as a save haven when the local currency take a dive against dollar.

I do believe those people which live at poor countries they can improve their life with bitcoin, besides that one thing is sure everyone that does use bitcoin, earning it online may change their life and who knows if they do make a project to help bitcoin and support it.

Bitcoin can be a sideline for those who have a full time job, however it can also be a full time if you can earn decent from it like being payed from your skills online, and this way it can help a poor country with lack of opportunities for its people to find job.

I think only those people who provide the gadgets and internet which is the basic requirements of bitcoin to access the sites but i think it can not help poor countries it will start always on the people who have the basic requirements and their willingness.

People of poor country still need an infrastructure to get in bitcoin. I think atleast their need internet connection and smartphone to earn bitcoin. Becouse bitcoin is so digital. But I am agree that bitcoin can help poor country by help the people to fulfil their daily need with bitcoin although they have to convert it into fuat fisrt.

i think bitcoin can be helpful for poor countries if they have the facilities of internet and computer, because for bitcoin computer and internet are the two important tools to get benefit from bitcoin.

Bitcoin and its related business created a whole new economy for the third world countries and most of them are reaping the rewards,if you are the lucky one's who started mining well before they could have managed to live a good life style by now and they could have developed mining as a whole new business.

How I wish we are one of the people who made a good profit in mining, and how I wish we could see the future so we have started mining before. Let's face the present situation, and we are discussing here whether it can help the poor countries because I believe the early adopters are coming from the rich countries.

That is not necessarily so. Thanks to the Internet news are spreading fast nowadays and although I haven't used that opportunity I did know about Bitcoin when the price of it was around $5. I'm pretty sure, at least I read about it somewhere, that some people from the poor countries were among the early adopters. But I agree with you that most early adopters were from the rich countries, because if you are poor even knowing that there is a thing with a great potential in the future which costs only $5 now you can't buy it because you don't have a spare 5 dollars.

yes, you're right, maybe it can help poor countries by making people make money doing it online. bitcoin might be a solution for people who are hard to get a job, because bitcoin is very easy to get, but it takes perseverance to be able to produce it

I think that bitcoin is really helpful to the poor who can hardly find a job but I don't think that bitcoin can be useful for a whole poor country in reducing poverty in that country. Because poor countries usually don't have much access to the modern technology and the Internet, it's difficult for their people to know about and work with bitcoin when everything is done on the Internet. However, a poor person can manage to find a computer and work with it if he is willing to do this and this may change his life.

Early adopters are 1-visionaries, 2-rich, 3-black market people, 4-nerds

Nowadays we can view the grow of bitcoin but how do you know it in the past?

Is the same thing right now, tomorrow it can reach $30k

yes internet, computer or a good phone are the main component to access bitcoin, therefore if poor countries have access to these things then they can really make money from bitcoin and bitcoin can help them financially.

[nasluloh ikhsan]

i think bitcoin can't help poor countries because country poor effect for managing this goverment, bitcoin only digital currency.
In the poor countries will hard to find job but bitcoin can help poor person, with their skill and hard work. poor person will get fund with use bitcoin.

What if I told you, people that lives in a poor country work hard, maybe more than people in rich contries and earn less because of all politic things?

Bitcoin can't help, they need basic things first.

[Rienair]

In a way Bitcoin can help poor countries or to be more precise to its' people. Bitcoin can give them new opportunities for earning that can improve their overall income.
But the question is are the people in poor countries familiar enough with Bitcoin, how many of them have even heard of it and do they have access to it?

It can maybe help the poor countries a little bit but I honestly do not think it will help them a lot because their economic situation is staying the same if you are looking at it.
There will not change a lot in my eyes.

How do they work hard if there is no work? In many places, people do nothing all day long and just earn some pennies from the government. Maybe they do nothing because there is no jobs, no tools, no incentive to start working...

And with no tools I mean computers, internet also, where those people could be earning with Bitcoins on the internet and increasing their financial income.

[klopcoin]

 Bitcoin can help poor countries, because it helps actually their people to get some income online easily. I know many friends from poor countries making a living from earning Bitcoin online ,and it's can increase a new job for poor country ,that job can do by following campaign.

By Campaign do you mean "Signature Campaigns" ? Because I can't call sig campaigns as a kind of job. Yes they are ways to earn online  but that is not a kind of job. A job requires training and specialization before you work. Any people that are members here in Bitcointalk can wear a signature campaign  provided that they follow the rules. Also what you earn in a campaign is not enough to call it earning for a living.
