It won't totally end World poverty, it will just help to somehow lessen those who are jobless because bitcoin is profitable amongst it users and to most of the people. There are lots of ways to earn in Bitcoin and and not all of these ways requires a capital. A good example is joining Campaigns wherein you'll just finish the task and wait 'til the tokens are distributed.

The potential as of now exists. One day, Poverty might be a relic of days gone by. On such a day, vagrants will never again be destitute. Welfare programs – and the administration organizations who direct them – will never again be essential. The world will be bursting at the seams with business, wherein exchanges should be possible quickly with secrecy with the help of bitcoins.

Joining campaign is one of the ways on making money on bitcoin but not all people do have the capability to be online or do have their own pc or internet connection to engage with bitcoin. It do really give jobs to jobless people on the world but would depend on the knowledge and awareness of the said person if he havent know bitcoin yet then it would be still useless.

Well it not just easy as that, it should have process to begin with and and the main is to educate the whole world about bitcoin. It's not also easy that the whole world will embrace bitcoin because not all of us is the same way of thinking. Many will favor but much will hate but for them to better understand that bitcoin would really end world poverty they must first understand what it means and its goal.

Poverty is indeed a big word and a big problem not just on one country but in all part of the sector of the world. Hence, the system of bitcoin being inclined into the technology is much vulnerable to experience development and progress which can make differences on some problem that a country possibly have in the part of economic state. But before it affect the people surrounding and living in a specific country it needs acceptance by the government or the system of the country to implement it on the system of transaction for people to have an option to earn and to make more profit.

Bitcoin's can't end poverty worldwide. That's obvious because you need connection and paying for internet at least, in order to earn bitcoin or just use it, poor people haven't the money even to eat, I dont think they have money to pay for Internet connection.

I agree with you mate, poverty is one of the big problem around the world. Bitcoin needs also capital, small amount of money for internet and a couple of time, but if you can't provide that then bitcoin can't do for you.  Bitcoin can't save you from proverty, why? Because  life is a matter of your choice, I you want to improve your living then find a job, do anything that can help you.

Indeed, bitcoins are alone not able to save the world from poverty. Poverty needs much involvement of governments and world richest persons to eradicate it forever. Obviously those countries which are unable to provide basic necessities to their people, how can they use bitcoins to improve their financial status?

I think the problem of poverty is because the absence of the state in giving the opportunity to its citizens to do business, the presence of bitcoin can only reduce a little and is not possible totally.

I don’t think it is a difficult task for bitcoin now because bitcoin has large potential to solve the problems and it is very reliable because bitcoin is all about internet and internet a applicable everywhere now as I have internet and I can make money through bitcoin but for bitcoin we need to have information and knowledge. Now a lot of people are wasting time on social media and facebook etc so if they will spend time in this forum in a constructive way it will be useful for them.

[Jmmerquita]

it's not the money nor the bitcoin will end the poverty. It's all about the mindset.

[keeee]

Bitcoin can only reduce some percentage of poverty in the world. Bitcoin cannot cure all the poverty around the world because there are too many people living in poverty. Bitcoin would play it role in helping people but it cannot satisfy all the needs of every man, woman and child in this world.

I think that it is not really bitcoin who can solve the world poverty but the job or business offered in a certain country. Bitcoin can help but just a little what we need is the support other government, the support for stable job.

Two words that I could say to this WONDER FULL if we feel that we can help through this situation, well bitcoin is our Robin Hood to save us from poverty. Bitcoin serve as an intro for some people who tends to help other people to donate cash. Well if I could donate cash through bitcoin, I will give it to thempersonally not to a website that have a 'donate' in a menu. I think they will only corrupt it for a financial gain to make their sites beautiful and has a  good looking sites. Be sure to donate to poverty with a heart.

Maybe you can say that the internet has spread all over the world. Yeah that's true but most internet users are middle-class people and above. Only a few lower-class people use the internet, they do not even have the resources (computers, gadgets, etc) to use the internet, so how bitcoin can solve the problem of poverty if the poor can not use and access the internet?

[ruskytailz02]

Nope. World poverty isn't going to be end by just a bitcoin. It requires a good government too. When btc isn't existing, there are other countries that has less poverty.

[ikilledcobain]

Unless Bitcoin can magically change human nature, it's not going to end poverty. Greed is a real thing and there's always going to be people that have a great deal already and want more at the expense of those below them.

I honestly don't ever see poverty ending.

[Granxis]

First of all, I must say that poverty in the world will never end, because the mass of Bitcoin is growing with technology, it requires a certain amount of knowledge and the rich will be richer.

[GeniusAko]

No, how the hell did you get the idea that bitcoin could end world poverty? WTF!

I just want to add more something, Bitcoin can help individually, but not to give a solution in one country's problem like poverty. Poverty is already given in each nation in the entire world. Where it is one of responsibility to resolve by the government. If the government only will adapt the system and usages advantage of bitcoin, it can be a tools or way solutions depending on how the government will use it.

- Exactly, bitcoin can only help individual, it can not help a whole country or solve a world problem, especially the problem of poverty, this is a problem that has been talked about for many years and the whole world together to solve but until now, poverty has been unable to stop. The world can not do, bitcoin also can not, Bitcoin only helps people who are interested and want to make money online, want to get rid of unemployment, it is an opportunity not a god, it will not end anything

You have a good point. I think that the bitcoin can't end the world poverty but it can lessen the poverty in the society. Bitcoin makes many jobs and bitcoin helps many people who doesn't have a job like me.

I assume poor people would not even know anything like bitcoin exists around them, as it is a technical thing and poverty doesn't let us go near technology. A poor person can never have access to internet, and bitcoin cannot run without internet, though if it gets physical in coming time which is near impossible, then maybe it can do wonders for poor people and poverty of the world, but the chances are very less for something like that to happen.

Definitely right on what you have said here.Engaging on bitcoin do really need internet and poor people dont have the capability to have internet on their houses or even in their community on which they would not really meet up on whats bitcoin if they did succesfully learn about internet then knowing bitcoin would really takes time for sure. Lacking of knowledge on online things would really be hard to understand bitcoin even more.

Realistic at it is.  You are right that very poor people would not know such thing like bitcoin.  But as long as you have access to computers and internet connection and that you know how to read and right, you can earn.  Because here in the Philippines, majority of us were poor people.  But we were able to learn and have education.  Even we did not finish college and earn a degree, we still know what are the in and out in technology.

Yes it is really prove that education is the key end poverty. By educating people with bitcoin i think it is really hard because some of them are not interested with bitcoin so I think it takes a long period of time to educate people about bitcoin. If we want to end poverty we should start discipline within ourselves and it is the only way to end poverty. DISCIPLINE and bitcoin is just supplementary.
