Lets see:

- Possibility of decreasing corruption which is pretty widespread in such countries thanks to such a decentralized payment system
- Alternate payment option which makes payments a lot more convenient(Once TX fees and times go down in the future)
- Improved dependence on technology which helps improve their ecosystems overall
- Possibility of earning passive income through BTC when treated as a store of value like gold etc

[mk4]

It will be a tool for them. A lot of people especially in underdeveloped countries still don't have access to banking; and while some people on some countries do, their country's economy is nowhere near healthy(e.g. Venezuela). Bitcoin can be their hedge against the heavy deflation of their county's currency. Yes, Bitcoin is volatile. But I'd take price volatility than guaranteed losses through inflation.

[Gozie51]

Bitcoin is helping the underdeveloped countries but not general. Is just the few who are aware of it. Those who are aware and desiring for it can do that through the fewer who can operate the internet.

- Alternate payment option which makes payments a lot more convenient(Once TX fees and times go down in the future)

I do not think that this point is only valuable for underdeveloped countries because other developed countries use bitcoin as a very good source of alternative financial system.

[xabre]

Bitcoin could control by country with legal and could using to make payment but is not have to control about how bitcoin price, when country could give support maybe bitcoin will grow up and have more benefit for user.

[sysoe]

There are a lot of benefits, it is a faster medium of payment and also the fees involved is less. There are also various other benefits of bitcoins like it is anonymous.

It is an obvious solution to countries wracked with hyperinflation, such as Venezuela. In fact, Venezuela is accepting bitcoin and Litecoin as remittances so long as the government gets its cut. But of course, bitcoin can be used underground if people choose to transact peer-to-peer. Other developing nations are increasingly using bitcoin as an alternative to their failing fiat currencies. What I am looking forward to is the day that a nation will officially accept it as a currency or declare that it is holding bitcoin as reserves.

Possible Benefits:

• Bitcoin makes it possible to make micropayments without breaking the bank
• thanks to cryptos ledger system, generally most countries could benefit from the transparent ecosystem of bitcoin
• cost of goods and services could be lowered as most middlemen would be cut off
• its an opportunity to leap frog into an era of high tech

[auntyjmary]

Underdeveloped countries can easily take advantage of blockchain technology which is the main driving force behind bitcoin. People in underdeveloped countries have issues with modern trends in technology of which the technology behind bitcoin can easily help breach  this huge gap. Bitcoin has enormous benefits to every economy and not just the underdeveloped countries.

[Linkkoin]

1. Alternative currency with fast transactions.
2. In the case of Lightning Network - cheap ones as well (while international wire transfers can eat up even 50% of the transaction value due to the corresponding fees and take weeks to proceed).
3. Bitcoin does not require advanced infrastructure (you can make proper use of mobile payments, which in Africa already had made a career) in use.
4. Even with its huge volatility, it is much more reliable than many currencies from the undeveloped countries, subject to hyperinflation.

More convenient? A super volatile currency in an already fucked up country is convenient?? In what way lol. The possibility of earning passivr incomr is bullshit, you could say that about any kind of investment.

Dependence on technology is certainly not good either lol. What are you smoking?

I guess that the context here is that of those heavily under-developed, or at least those with a very low average salary. From a Country’s perspective, those countries are not likely wanting to fully endorse the creation of a parallel payment system. No country is likely to adapt BTC as a free floating currency to use for payments with the wild roller-coaster type of ups and downs it has.

That leaves us the individual themselves to consider, although subject to their country’s legislation. Bitcoin is still not that easy to manage, and for those countries with a low cultural and technological level, it may not be that easy to assimilate. Regardless, under the current stand, it is used more as a store of (speculative) value than anything. As such, those that are bolder and fortunate enough to make their move at the right time, and understand the ropes, may ease their situation (just as a whole other bunch will go the opposite way). In their case, it may be riskier that for first row country citizens, as proportionally they may individually, due to their situation, be willingly to put more at stake than one should.

[seoincorporation]

The problem with the nondeveloped countries is their access to technology, their access to electricity or to the internet, as a good example i will post a News from 2014, this happened in my country...

https://www.excelsior.com.mx/nacional/2014/04/27/956010

The news is in Spanish but you can use a translator, the title says... 'Laptops giveaway to schools without electricity.'

So, this is the issue, how could they access to bitcoin if they even cant handle a computer.

[Payme21]

I think the developing countries have a lot to gain from bitcoin as it can promote the spring up of businesses and improved payment options which will increase its flexibility

[jhongzjhong]

Underdeveloped counties might use bitcoin or the technology behind it which is the blockchain as an advantage for their financial technology, politics, database and a great form of investment. However, the hindrance for a nation to use the bitcoin is the adoption of its own government. Since not all of the people within a nation are open-minded with innovation especially with these kinds of stuff, it would be the stop sign for them to take advantage of the bitcoin. I hope that bitcoin can affect and make the underdeveloped counties improve with its technology.

Of course it will help the people of the under developed countries. I mean it's a mean for them to have crypto as means to earn money and have financial freedom. But as far as government? I don't know, if government of 3rd world countries will tax crypto then it will also benefited them in some way.

There’s a pros and cons and some developing countries already using bitcoin but still their economy is down. I think it will start from the users itself, because i lived in third world country but bitcoin changed my life, but of course my country are still the same because we still have the old system of government which is corruption.  

[tweetbit]

No it won’t help a lot if the government itself is not working properly. The unavailability of opportunity of a nation lies on the availability of the leaders to make one. Undeveloped country has a high numbers of corrupt individuals who gains more to the suffering of its people.

Bitcoin can help but it won’t be a big change if they don’t help themselves be free from this high horse official and oligarchs. Venezuela have tried but failed and so the others.

In terms of financial help, if this non developed countries that you are mentioning already have an access and good knowledge about internet they will be able to compensate as bitcoin bring good benefits to those who are looking for such opportunities.

Financial benefits if both citizens and the government will take advantages of those offers where bitcoin can help them being lifted.

Bitcoin can provide a lot of opportunities to a third-world country or developing countries. It can provide, job opportunities, income opportunities, and also be part of a new payment and investment innovation. I think the opportunity will be mutual since if a developing country starts adopting crypto it can add up to the market demand and it can also bring mass awareness and adaptation. It will also be a good opportunity for projects to start developing new ideas and services in a developing country since it can attract new investors, new developers and can be a good start-up on making crypto related companies.

Hindrance for the banks who issues loans and remittance fees with high collection rates. A very helpful tool, utilize by most people who doesn't even had the chance t open an account on banks. Bitcoin solved that, there many people who were unable to prove their identity especially in rural areas, they have no birth certificates and all. They have families all over the world and in other to receive payments, they need to go to remittance centers with high fees.

[Pursuer]

when speaking of bitcoin as a technology that is new and different from anything else we knew, usually people in countries that are more technologically advanced (that is the developed countries) are more happy about adopting such new technologies. in this case we are talking about adopting bitcoin as a currency and a new technology and benefit from it.
but others, like in underdeveloped countries are usually not so eager to adopt new technologies because they are behind in everything else so in case of bitcoin they may also remain behind that means they won't adopt bitcoin as much as others and if they do they would do it as an investment instead.

in my opinion bitcoin will have a big influence in non-developed countries, especially in the development of the nation itself, according to this bitcoin is very good for the progress of certain countries but it will be very useful for a number of non-developed countries, I have a positive attitude i really love bincoin

If the government concern with their people, they will use many ways to grow their country and they will help their people to get a better life. The undeveloped countries will search for a new solution, and if they can find benefits from cryptocurrency, especially from bitcoin, they will try to tell their people to use bitcoin.

But yes, there will people who will hindrance the way of adoption because they want to rule the country without wanting to grow their country. That people usually have the power to control the country, and they will use every way to make sure they will continue their rule.

[Kakmakr]

I personally think that Bitcoin has a lot to offer 3rd world countries, because most 3rd world countries struggle with high unemployment problems and Bitcoin can be used to pay for micro tasks across borders, which is difficult with many other payment options. <Eg. PayPal & Credit cards....> 

I also think the lack of advanced communication networks and internet access is a major problem for the full adoption of Bitcoin in most 3rd world countries. Bitcoin is still very difficult to implement in countries with poor education and challenges with poor infrastructure, so it is not going to be a quick transition.

Good observation!
a) being unbanked and b) having a currency subject to depreciation, are two major reasons to use cryptos.
(I'm not sure about bitcoin being the best remedy for that, but that's another story.)

Statistics show that cryptos adoption is indeed mostly widespread in developed countries

https://www.statista.com/chart/18345/crypto-currency-adoption/

[Ris88]

I strongly believe that bitcoin will be accepted by many countries, especially by countries that are lagging behind, of course it will help their country's economy and help unemployed people in each of these countries, that's the benefit of bitcoin for most people at this time ...

[Fred3030]

Bitcoin like other products of emerging technology will bring real positive development to the underdeveloped countries. One of such instance of positive will be helping to bank the unbanked which is common in the underdeveloped nations. With bitcoin citizens of such countries can easily make financial transaction without boundary restrictions.

I think there are many benifits for non developed countries like, Their young people will be involved in crypto format as they are deprive of job and they will be self sufficient here. On the other hand country will achieve foreign revenue that they will develop day by day. Overall it is positive site for developing countries.

[Leonardo7]

Bitcoin has been a big blessing to the underdeveloped and developing countries and will continually be a big breakthrough. Currently, for individuals who already invested in bitcoin in such countries are happy today about their financial liberation and their government know about this but won't publicly acknowledge the fact because of their corrupt dealings.

If the government of the underdeveloped nations could adopt bitcoin and blockchain, it will change their system forever by first blocking leakage and bringing discipline to public and private services and creating a new level of dimensional wealth. Let's hope they think about this innovation and act fast. Although Ugandan President is crypto friendly but the president will have to step outside for things to be well arranged.

In as much as I agree with you, there are major issues with  undeveloped countries. Regulations is one of the grave area. They don't understand what blockchain or bitcoin means and so they see it as scam. Yes, it will help reduce corruption but there were other issues with it. Even though citizens trade cryptocurrencies, it's still very much seen as illegal.

I join Your words and want to add that for underdeveloped countries (as a rule, the cost of electricity is not great) is very important occupation is mining.This activity can bring significant income.

[franky1]

having actually gone abroad and visited these places. here is my view

2012-2014 bitcoin was a good thing for those countries.(i say 2012-> as thats when i first got into btc)
but now, tx fee's (at ~$0.25) are like 5hours labour just to make a tx. and to own 1 whole BTC is like having to work
180000 labour hours.. so not practical

unlike america
($15 min wage) tx fee = 1 minute.. 1 BTC=600 hours labour
($7.50 min wage) tx fee = 2 minute.. 1 BTC=1200 hours labour

..
bitcoin for the under developed/3rd world countries is just a entry buzzword where people hear it, learn about it see its not practical no more and then look into the world of altcoins.
underdeveloped/3rd world countries dominate the altcoin scene

[uray]

In terms of financial help, if this non developed countries that you are mentioning already have an access and good knowledge about internet they will be able to compensate as bitcoin bring good benefits to those who are looking for such opportunities.

There are places in the world where there is no internet connection or mobile towers and you can empower them by building infrastructure and then spreading the word about bitcoin and teaching them about the benefits and then open them to the world so that they can have interactions with the outside world and learn things as well as open to international trading and that is how you reduce poverty and if that happens then bitcoin is a benefit for all the under developed countries.

[Nasonn]

Bitcoin and blockchain could bring about inclusive banking system for the millions of unbanned in the developing countries, making seemless transactions possible and easy.
