Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

I'm not sure exactly what kind of discussion you were hoping to start here, but I have to agree with D&T that your question doesn't make a lot of sense.

At most, it may be a global equalizer, if only because it allows anyone in the world to get paid for work regardless of the distance between employer and employee.

Bitcoin doesn't discriminate, it follows only the laws of math and the guidelines given to it by the network, and it is passively open to the entire world, making it potentially one of the best debt consolidation utilities in our century. That's all it is though. It takes money to move money and the only way it could assist in decreasing poverty is by increasing opportunity.

Other than that, Bitcoin is not the cure for cancer, governments, or reptillian congressmen. Sorry.

It's certainly a strong support mechanism for an underground economy. Many poor people are forced through circumstances to stay underground. Until we address those circumstances, Bitcoin can help ease poverty for some.

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.

I totally agree with you, thanks mate. This one is the best answer to the question.

If you totally agree, then could either of you explain how Bitcoin is one of the best debt consolidation utilities in our century?
