We can totally eradicate poverty if we TRULY want to.

[atinaditya]

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.
 
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?
 
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.

Hope the world was that simple to live in. There is a technical error with what you propose. 90% of the total value in the world is intangible. The father of entire capital Market is DEBT. The world owes so much of debt that we can never repay it.

The entire valuation premise is Debt fuelled where the valuations of stock, land and gold are inflated because we have raised debt to appreciate its value. If all the equity in the world was sold at the same time, even all the wealth in the world would not be able to buy it.

The entire concept of money market is very philosophical and confusing at the same time. You would need a very clear understanding of how an economy works to know why poverty can never be eradicated. We can reduce it to a very miniscule population but it will creep back once the economic cycle goes down. You can delay the slowdown of growth using stimulus but then again you are using money (DEBT) that you cannot payback. One very faulty assumption that I come across is that education can lead to poverty alleviation but that is not the case.

But again, all of those concepts are from a Macroeconomic point of view.

However, the problem is that people has no contentment even if had some luxury in his/her life seeing another individuals that had much more than his/her wealth then probably that one may aim for more. So money for them would be the mere reason that why should they not give it to those poor individuals or poor families. They will just say that they had work hard on it so why should they give? Problem with people nowadays.

Well, each person has its own priorities and point of view in life. If one is already contented with what he has even if it is not much for other then it's good for him but there are just people that even if they already have money that can make them live comfortably even if they don't work anymore, they are just not contented with it. They want more of it and become more greedy that's why when it comes to trading as well, even if some already has profit, they would not sell it because they want more and sometimes they would end up at a loss because of price volatility.

I am very interested in your statement, everything you say is very true, I really agree.
all of us must be aware that in the wealth we have there are other people's rights, especially the rights of the poor. there is nothing wrong if we give them a little of our wealth.
especially if we give them jobs to meet their needs.

[Vzae]

If everyone wants to be united to unify their vision and mission, surely it can. Cause to eradicate poverty, it's very important to increase one's human resources first, then create new jobs.

Definitely! It is really true that whether or not you are born poor, your parents are no longer responsible for you to become poor also. It has to be you now who needs to change and make up for your future. It is really how you manage your life.

Your idea is commendable, but I'm afraid it won't work. There has always been injustice and inequality in the world financially, and today, as thousands of years ago, the picture is exactly the same.
less than 1% of people around the world own more than 99% of the wealth of our planet and this balance is difficult to break.
Even if we collect all the money from all over the world and divide it equally into 6 billion people, in 10-15 years the picture will be restored because the society is not similar to each other. Always survival of the fittest Is nature. Those who are weak will lose their money or drink and lose, and the strong will become rich again.

[finlandais]

I think this is not possible and the main reason behind this is unavalaibility of proper education.We can spread awareness as much as we can but untill proper education and knowledge is not provided to people we cannot end the poverty.Government should try to provide proper facility and knowledge to the citizens.

[joebrook]

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.

In order to eradicate poverty,  the people who are in poverty should show that they are willing not to live in poverty anymore and one can't be begging on the streets if he or she wants to escape poverty.

Too true! Many impoverish people in the community are actually the most hard working people in that communit. All they lack is the opportunity to earn more that what they have. Maybe it is because of lack of education or seed money but the fact of the matter is they don't need hand outs, they need opportunities.

Well, life generally is not about hard work, and it is all about being smart. Absolutely, for a country that is ridden with poverty, it is usual to always notice there is always a problem from the leadership, the level of corruption in such country and the unavailability of things that are necessary for the citizens to thrive and succeed and in such kind of settlement, it is always hard to say eradicating poverty would be easy unless a lot of changes are made most especially with such leadership.

Poverty is present everywhere. You can meet people living under the bridge even in New-York, and they are not necessarily unlucky with their whole lives. Corruption is also omnipresent, and it looks like you can't eradicate poverty (or alleviate it substantially) with the help of those who facilitated it in the first place ("the leadership"). The implication is that we should first eradicate corruption, but this is even less possible than eradicating poverty, even though it is something less vague and more concrete.

For the world to continue the flow,balancing must happen and thats why theres poor and theres richest,so eradicating poverty is not even a good idea,maybe what is better to lessen and turns to good balancing
Why needed to eradicate the poverty when people themselves wanted to stay in theirs positions?
Even how hard you wanted them to have good living if they dont want to be growing thats a nonsense job

Poverty can be erradicated by us by the contributions of each individual. By being diligent and industrious to find a decent job, business or anything legit that can supply individual or family needs.

This seems like a good answer, redistributing the wealth of other people is not going to work long term, we have seen this happening many times already in the history of the world, the only thing that works long term is that each person stops making excuses and blaming the government or the rich for their problems, they need to understand that if they do not like the circumstances in which they live then they need to do something about it because no one else is going to do it for them.

It is not your fault if you are born poor because those are the circumstances in which you were born but if you die being poor then that is your fault, because there are a lot of things that you can do to improve the circumstances in your life.

Wow it looks like you like to blame the victim.  Our system is very corrupt and unfair, a lot of luck is involved in life.  The whole point of society is for everyone to work together and raise everyone up.

[East2011]

Poverty is one big serious problem of so many countries. The government are doing their job in helping the poor people. But those people are not helping themselves. Poverty is hard to eradicate if the poor people don't help themselves. They should cooperate and have the willingness to go out of poverty. Here in my place the government is giving incentives to indigent family. But i saw those family who are given incentives only use the money in gambling and in vices. They don't use it to start a business to improve their way of living. So how can we eradicate poverty if many people are like this.

In reality though, poor people are actually in debt even before their birth. The debts and the wrongdoings of their parents, they have to deal with it. With bad education in their area which they can't afford, they have to strive in order to get an actual job. A lot of these people have to work side jobs which people don't want to do. To even get to high school, they need someone to fund them even with the free education going on. It's free education but it's not free food, free shelter, free medical needs. People are still in need of those things and sadly poor teenagers have to get those for themselves because their parents are unable to do so.

It really isn't your fault that were born poor, it's you parents' fault. But that leaves you with so much things to deal with. On the bright side, if you are able to successfully deal with them, it makes you a person better than most. But sadly, a lot of poor people aren't able to turn around their lives and overcome poverty.

[ngano ba]

I believe in that , we can really eradicate poverty  if we trully want , in the side of the poor , they can by working hard and not being lazy, and will not be dependent too much from others who gave them help ,the poor should also work hard, in the other side of the people who have the resources , they should not also be greedy and extend their help of any kind to the much poor people, so if we united and help each other , wr can really eradicate the poverty.

[andrei56]

Yes with the help of the government we may eradicate poverty government should create more jobs to solve unemployment in the country and if you belong to the poor family you must be smart and have the guts to become successful and rich someday you must have a goal in life.

I disagree, why do you think cryptocurrencies were created in the first place? Because the governments are not very good at anything, governments are very inefficient and that is because they have no competition, in the free market things work completely different, since there is competition businesses need to become very efficient in the use of their resources, so governments will never be able to eradicate poverty or unemployment.

[Rustamm]

If everyone wants to be united to unify their vision and mission, surely it can. Cause to eradicate poverty, it's very important to increase one's human resources first, then create new jobs.

In any case, the cryptocurrency can not eradicate poverty. Cryptocurrency in itself does not create wealth. In fact, it only redistributes them. According to the law of conservation of energy, if in one place something is added, in another it will necessarily decrease. Poverty can be gradually overcome only by technologies that accelerate or increase the growth of material goods.

[zero9119]

For poverty reduction, many government policies need to be implemented to improve the livelihoods of the people. In addition, every citizen must improve and try to escape from poverty in order to get rich so that the ability to escape poverty is sustainable. Poverty is a very common practice when the world economy is as difficult as it is today.

This must start on every individual and we should not depend on our government. Poverty is everywhere, educate people first and we will reach this kind of goal. Maybe cryptocurrency will help us to achieve it.
