Absolutely yes because it is real money Smiley

That's it. Many people believe that using money normally is not good.
More people use it in good things rather than bad. I believe that.
using money in an ordinary way is a really good thing in my opinion and bitcoins also might be used for even better things such as charities or fundings

But we cannot give bitcoin in charity to the needy people as they do not have any access to the internet and will be unable to adopt it, the better option is that we have to buy goods of their needs and have to gift them for their uses.

They don't need to be able to use crypto directly, there are quite a few charitable organizations that accept donations in Bitcoin. Of course you need to do your research and make sure they are legit, don't just donate Bitcoin to obscure groups/sites. Here are two that accept Bitcoins and are considered trustworthy:

Quote
Something strange is happening to Bitcoin. Once viewed as a way to do business in the darkest corners of the web, the digital currency has rather suddenly become a favorite talking point among humanitarians and international development enthusiasts.

Bitcoin isn’t just for illicit transactions or Internet hobbyists anymore, but for helping the poor, the downtrodden, and the unbanked.

Perhaps Bitcoin can save them! Perhaps Bitcoin can save the world!

Regardless of whether this attitude is realistic—and more on that in a minute—the people focused on demonstrating the social benefits of Bitcoin are challenging existing narratives about the cryptocurrency. While early commentary focused on how Bitcoin might be used to buy drugs online, or for sending money without a paper trail; the social-good argument suggests that these uses were simply the first use-cases in which Bitcoin’s utility became apparent. But there are billions of other potential use. There are, for example, people who face significant obstacles in operating within the formal banking system—and these folks look very different from the shadowy hackers that tend to be seen as the prototypical Bitcoin user. They could be low-wage migrant workers sending money back home to their families, for example, or activists receiving money from abroad during tumultuous times.

Well if Bitcoin can be used in bad purposes of course you can also use it for good purposes. You can donate them to charity that accepts Bitcoin. Or you can exchange your Bitcoin to flat then donate them to churches or charity.

Yes why not, some people  already judge bitcoin as a bad  currency since there was rumor bitcoin is  used for money laundry , it will be nice to hear some community  raising funds using bitcoin to help  people and it will bring positive reputation for bitcoin.
That depends on the perception of individuals about bitcoin but most of the users used it in a good ways. To earn ,to invest , and to transfer money without going outside .
I think some people judge bitcoin because of its use on the DarkWeb ,me too i recently know about bitcoinon surfing the darkweb many said that bitcoin was used to buy ,hire, or kill .that transaction was made online until i found out that bitcoins was used in many good ways .

Of course, I do not see anything bad with using bitcoins if that what you mean.  And you can used it for good as long as it is still on circulation.  Well, I do not think that it would be dead it is just that we should continue to use our bitcoins.

Yes bitcoin can be used  for good. For example, if big tragedy happens  to other country you can help easily using  bitcoin, you can send directly  the funds to the victim,  without going  through the hands of corrupt politicians.

From what I see, Bitcoin is much more used for good things than for illegal things. Most people use bitcoin for legit reasons, using it to easily send and receive money, and using it for online stores.

That's it. Many people believe that using money normally is not good.
More people use it in good things rather than bad. I believe that.

Why is it hard to believe? We are all more happy when we use it to bad things. Gambling, greed, gluttony and a lot more. Money is power that is a lot of people really think.

But you are only a few people who use money for bad, most of the people like to use money for bitcoin and as bitcoin is also money they will also use it for the good ways for what they want to do.

Money and wealth is not a bad thing, but they will be like that if we love him more than anything in life, life is not just about raising money, you need to maintain a balance between money and the aspects of your life to another,it all depends on the person using money, probably in the future will be better.
