We can totally eradicate poverty if we TRULY want to.

[West0813]

I have doubt in my mind if we can eradicate poverty. Because even if we are helping other people to improve their life. If they don't even help themselves we cannot do anything to help them. They shoild help themselves too.

[Vanshenz]

the awareness of sharing for the rich is very low compared to their wealth, they are never satisfied to hoard their wealth, they only look up not looking down, this causes the rich become richer and the poor become plentiful.

not only the rich, everyone in the world is never satisfied with the finances they have, because the more money they get, the more they spend. It's just that, the awareness of each person to help each other is very low, even many who do not care about others, most importantly we are happy and a lot of money.
One way to eradicate this thought is that we must realize that everything we get is entrusted from God, there are many ways to help poor people, one of which is to tell them about cryptocurrency.

[Dhoe]

Therefore, I will always want to teach about making money in the world Cryptocurrency to everyone in my neighborhood, my friends, so that they too can feel the satisfactory results of the Bitcoin or other Cryptocurrency. By this way I think we can eradicate poverty in our lives. 

[Nnedaddy1]

I agree that eradicating is our collective responsibility but the truth is that most rich people are practically hoarding this ideas and knowledge on how one can get rich .
This makes evenly distribution of wealth difficult.
Another issue is that most poor guys are too lazy to follow up on the strategies and ideas passed down by the rich .

[roosbit]

Giving money to the poor can only help in a short amount of time it doesn't improve their lives in the long run because you don't know what are they going to do with the money.

I agree with you!
There is actually a saying that says don't give fish to someone, instead teach that someone how to fish and the will learn how to survive!

Which is why I believe poverty reduction is not always about giving out money, helping people to learn the necessary skills of survival is the best solution as it can help eradicate poverty in the long run.

Poverty will never be eradicated. Someone has to constantly suffer the other to live well. Such laws of nature and economy. If all at one moment will start to live wonderfully, then in a very short time all this will collapse because there will be no servicing personnel to watch someone over it and then collapse will begin.

[rafi035]

maybe the purpose of investment is to get a better economic life and that can also make poverty more profitable if the state or government can manage well and be able to provide something better for people in need

[redsap]

that was true, but people who having money looking someone like that in more long purpose not in the short term purpose, if i giving money to some poor people it can make their life more easier but not make any improvment in their life after all, just giving not make them can life for more years, but giving the job can make their improvment in their life economic

Even service personnel can live in good conditions. Topikstarter means absolute beggars, unemployed without prospects. The problem of poverty is more in the worldview of the poor themselves, it is often easier for them to live like this, even without trying to find a job.

[yulchatar]

I agree that the best advice is "help yourself." In our world, it is so accepted that no one owes anything to anyone. And rich people are not obliged to help the poor. Although it might be fair. But then rich people can also object - they became rich thanks to their work and knowledge. Some poor don't want to do anything to live better, they are satisfied with the role of the victim. And it is very sad but no one can help such people.

[sngwinner]

I completely agree with you when you say poverty can be greatly reduced through our actions. It is really a pity to see those who have still willing to claim the little of the poor ones. If we learn to realize that success is best enjoyable if most but not one person has it, we will learn to help the poor in whatever way we can

[shield132]

Really a good task to discuss about, but answer is a big no. Not directly from me, but from people. Maybe you see around that your friends look sad at poor people or you'll see a poor child who has one wish when he/she grow up: One day I'll become rich and will help all poor people.
This world will never be what we have expected when we were children, also remember, if I am rich it's because you are poor. This world works this way, people, even from their first seconds when they born, are egoist and only care about themselves. If we really want to make everyone normal and avoid anyone to be poor, then we wouldn't look for cheap workers in china, africa and in another countries, we wouldn't try to get rid of business opponents. This world doesn't works this way, not world but humanity.

[Renampun]

it would be very tiring to do that. I see that poverty is a choice, such as poverty due to laziness, poverty due to crime and poverty because it does not want to get out of the comfort zone, we must change the mindset of the poor then we can make him change his life..

[Crafts12]

Giving money to the poor can only help in a short amount of time it doesn't improve their lives in the long run because you don't know what are they going to do with the money. This is the risk when helping people so others turn to charities but helping charities has its own risk too because you can't track everything and what they're going to do with the money (lack of transaprency).

Other poor people rely heavily on the government for their needs instead of relying on their own. They've accepted their fate living in a poor lifestyle and doesn't want to change for the better. With that being said we can't eliminate poverty, reducing it is one way to maintain/improve the problem from getting worse.

I couldn't agree more! Honestly, poverty is something we really can't eradicate because poor people tend to rely their needs to the government rather than take action in making their living better. If we give money to them easily we actually aren't helping them in fact we only make them lazily and tolerating their current situation.

[princeyeboah]

Indeed, poverty can be eradicated with the help of the Blockchain technology, especially in the underdeveloped and developing countries.  Blockchain has the capability of distributing worth across the globe in order to bring financial freedom and satisfaction to all. No wonder, South Korea is seeing an incredible boost in their economy.

Lol, teaching people about Cryptocurrency wouldn’t help them make money. If you teach a poor man about Cryptocurrency where is he going to get the money to invest in it? There is no place he can get it unless you will be the one to sponsor him. I wish I would be rich one day to the extent I will be able to help poor people in my place to start up a business and live a good life. In this world, most people are just fighting themselves and their family, no one cares about others around… And when you try to show people that you care, they will only take advantage of you. Very bad.

[bitbunnny]

I don't think that eradicating poverty is possible in real life, it's utopia. It's like you say you can eradicate all diseases in the world.
Of course there are methods governments could make to diminish the poverty but not all countries are in the same position and not all people have equal possibilities. Even cryptocurrencies can't help to fight poverty entirely and there is no magic formula for that. Also, don't forget that cryptocurrencies don't bring always only profit.

[krishnaverma]

Most of the people I know are also against giving cash to people and helping them in other ways. But middle class people cannot do much. Creating a system or teaching them to do something might consume a lot of time and a person with regular job or business might not be able to manage this.

Solution to this is a combined effort from everyone to develop such a system.

[yatogami]

If you have worked to be wealthy or lucky to be one, you should see it as a social responsibility to help the less privileged people in the society. If I may ask, do you feel comfortable driving past several beggars on the street when you have billions of money in your account that you or your entire family may not be able to exhaust in the next 100 years?
 

I completely disagree. If I worked hard enough to become wealthy and paid taxes why should I be bothered with beggars, homeless, etc.?
Isn't it the responsibility of the government to distribute our taxes in such a way so that they help others who experience difficult life situation?
Shouldn't is be the problem of those beggars to find any kind of job (cleaner, dishwasher, deliveryman) to earn at least several hundred dollars a month and rent a small room?

[Micerker]

So many people are interested in amassing wealth without giving a dime to the less privilege around them, yet they will still be among the first to criticize the government in its failure to eradicate hunger and poverty in the country. You should also know that the duty of eradicating poverty must not be left to the government alone. You must also contribute your quota.

Think about this seriously. With the so much money in the world, poverty can greatly be reduced if not totally eradicated.
 
All that is necessary is the distribution of this wealth.

There is enough to go round.

Note:
You must not necessarily give physical cash or money directly in order to help the poor or the less privileged. You can set up an empowerment scheme where they could be empowered or work to earn a living for themselves. It is like teaching them how to fish instead of offering them the fish directly to eat. I guess it is best that way.

This is not possible because Crypto is not God's blessing. Cryptocurrency was created to replace FIAT, and it still has the nature of FIAT. The rich are always pioneers, so there is no way to help the poor get rich. I believe that the gap between rich and poor is becoming more and more isolated.
