With so many people who don't have internet or limited access to the net,  how can they use a coin or mine one?  There is a 4 billion person market if they can have access to a coin  without going through the traditional methods of mining it

We can't do anything on this,it's their government's fault why they deprive their people with this technology,but once they got their access,they will discover that an internet money is well established and it is for them to explore it further,but right now the only way we can do is to post in the internet all the information they want to know about crypto currency..

Well billion of people dont have food on their plates. Its funny that you are more worried  that those people should join bitcoin even though that the they need to prioritize first is food, water and shelter. Bitcoin is just an alternative investment.

For people who don't have internet access may also lack many other things such as water, food, electricity etc so they willn't care about investing or using any cryptos. They just don't care about all this techy things, creating crypto for people that don't have access to internet doesn't make any sense.

With so many people who don't have internet or limited access to the net,  how can they use a coin or mine one?  There is a 4 billion person market if they can have access to a coin  without going through the traditional methods of mining it

I have been asking this for years..
These crypto wacko's think FIAT is going to be destroyed and erased from the planet.
Wrong.

Plenty of people in 1st world countries don't have a bank account and don't want one too.

Unlike these cocky shit talking dipshits here i don't use banks unless i absolutely have to.
I don't have an account right now or a bank card etc.
But guess who does ?
Have a look at the retards commenting  Cheesy

The world is full of hypocrites people and 99.99% of them all are right here in front of you Wink

Besides..
Think about this.. we are "suppose" to be going AWAY from them right ?
Decentralization & all that bullshit ?
SO... uhhh.. how come idiots like minecache and countless others proudly chant that Ethereum and Ripple etc are being "used" by bank banks ?

Fraud's hypocrites liars bullshitters greedy idiots galore.



EDIT:

Oh and free WIFI ?
Gonna buy them a computer and pay for their electricity bill too ?
And what if there is no power where they are ? Gonna pay for that too ?
Some people live in a fucking fantasy in their head.  Roll Eyes

And.. what are you all going to do if the web and / or power is cut off for a few months ?
I will tell you what.. start digging through the trash looking for those FIAT bills you threw away.
And spare me the stupid fucking retort about how it's all digital anyway..
That is a crock of shit.
yeah "most" of it is..
BUT !
The float that is in our pockets is massive and NEEDED !

2.4 billion don't have access to a toilet, there are a lot of people out there in sad situations and I bet cryptocurrency is not on their list of priorities.

I agree that there are even more problems to be solved and give an appropriate solution rather than focusing to alt coins or even bitcoin. So their government doesn't really rely to crypto currency and more of them are focusing with poverty and famine. But if there are rich countries that will help those people or even a billionaire, they can get into alt coins lately.

When you see a newbie account looking for an idea to create a token you need to beware, some people even thought that by creating a coin, it is going to put an end to hunger and starvation in some African countries.

Unfortunately, if the governments of those countries don't improve their economic situation first, it will harder and harder for the people of those countries to afford investing on cryptocurriencies. Also, there are countries who have a "decent" economic situation but the governments of those countries do not really pay attention to improving the internet for their citizens...

 You can use any crypto as paper (no'bank)notes if you find a reputable issuer (any government might print money backed by bitcoin, for instance but they wouldn't 'cause money is a power itself). Mining is not the ultimate solution for initial distribution either.

Not Priorities I hope they don't think about this because Toilet is more important then this cryptocurrency  Wink

It also looks like the other half of this world don't get to fully understand the history of the Internet rather more just jump in after the majority of every wave remains relatively similar across all current areas.

I think BTC may have much more to come, but it's every bit and detail that might be left out.

how can they use a coin or mine one?
that's an easy question.
they cant.

and if you're saying this as a "bad side of bitcoin", well, i bet this people dont have access to FIAT money, credit card, gold, or anything related, so there's no point in this.

Well frankly if they don't have access to Internet, there's not very much point in trying because exchanging their coins would be extremely hard.  I definitely appreciate these coins' use for poorer people who need some help, but these coins are rooted in the Internet and you can't think of solutions to not having what the coins are based on.
