You can give Bitcoin to homeless people now.
It looks like even they started using it.:-)
Look at below

I wouldn't use "they" as that is just one guy and he's not a representative of all the homeless people in the world. Look at the sign, it's not the original sign that he's using. Someone must've put it there to put the photo on the internet and get some attention. Probably put it there just for the sake of fun. Personally, I haven't seen a homeless person have a phone, let alone a smartphone. They don't have the money to buy one and even if someone gives them a phone, they don't know how to use it and they don't have a place to charge it. It would just be a waste.

Most homeless people actually do have a phone and they also have access to the internet occasionally.
I know this because I've lived in Brussels for quite some time and talked to a lot of homeless people there, I know it's just one city and it may not be like this everywhere, but a phone is not that expensive, even a mid-tier smartphone.

But that is a first world country, in third world countries homeless people have problems to even get enough food for their survival, so it is very likely that in the third world homeless people don't have phones.

It depends on the economic state of a particular country.I could say that there are really places which most poor people dont have really mobile phones on which they cant even afford to buy one.Instead of bothering themselves on buying a phone they would rather choose to buy food and clothing thats why its really a big factor which really stops bitcoin on spreading its benefits.

Off course internet is the main thing that you need. It is true that it is depending on economic state of a particular country. The poors are not working for the phone or internet there priority is the food that they aill eat everyday

Yes of course, bitcoin can be use for good purposes, but we can't avoid some other people to use bitcoin in bad intentions. But i, myself i used bitcoin in a good faith because i don't want to engage any bad doings by means of bitcoin. Because bitcoin helped a lot on my financial. So no matter what, i will not use bitcoin in badside.

What is your definition, what is good?
If you ask 10 people this question, you will probably receive 10 different answers

In my opinion, if we, through our actions, can help others, it's good.
So, for example, maybe send BTC donations to charity, homeless people, buy food and help poor people etc.

Yes bitcoin could be used to for anything. But we need to understand the purpose of bitcoin like why we are having bitcoin when we are already having fiat system. So, basically bitcoin was innovated just to have a trust-less asset system. It is could be used for having a common payment system across continents. This just one simple example how good bitcoin is and how we could make use of it.

as different people have different opinion about bitcoin to me bitcoin is mostly used for legal activities as all the legal activities that we are using bitcoin for are the good use of bitcoin itself,. i think there will be very limited illegal activities for which bitcoin will be using for but mostly bitcoin isuse for legal and good activities.

I don't mind about what people may say but for me I am too satisfied with my bitcoin. I can use it anytime I like, putting my money online is new to me but with bitcoin it gives me new hope by seeing my money grow without doing anything. People can do anything they want as long as it helps the entire economy of bitcoin.

Well bitcoin is a currency , what would you expect. The same function as fiat currency, it can be use for donation to foundation, grants to cooperative, a support to charity and any thing that will bring positive impact to the society or help anyone that is in need. The same way bitcoin being used in illegal activity, bitcoin can be use to do good in the community.

It depends on the users, a lot of people think bitcoin can be used for "money laundering" so many governments that prohibit bitcoin. It also can be used to buying and sell illegal stuff, of course it's not wrong bitcoin but from users.

Good definition, As i understand that Benefits for other especially for poor people. But in my view, bitcoin really help us if anyone poor or not but still bitcoin will be used for good for us and others. So we should accept it, bitcoin is a good way of earning, When anyone know about the bitcoin, than definitely he use it.

Looks like the guy got some donations, just checked his address here: https://blockchain.info/address/1Gwga1P9mLkK54PhRTpK5t39PaqMkZVz23
Or was he using bitcoins before and that balance he accumulated from somewhere else?
By the way, maybe not all homeless know about bitcoin but just he does.

Using bitcoin for good or evil depends from us, I use it for good, but its fact about scammers around.
Other currency are good presenter of bitcoin future, it will be same some people are always using things in evil purposes, that will be same with bitcoins.

Sure in the end the people that have bitcoin will choose where they wanna to invest their bitcoins, no one has bitcoin as a item to collect and give to next generation of the family. Bitcoin has a two face as the fiat, can be used for normal things as to use the dark marketplaces, even knowing media has made a huge effort to connect bitcoin only to the dark side of any currencie.

It can for sure. I don't think Bitcoin was meant to be used for crimes or illegal transactions - that's probably just what some criminals thought of after it's been launched and became popular.

At the very beginning it was SilkRoad that more than successfully was operating with solely Bitcoin as form of payment. I personally see it as a great example of how well Bitcoin's currency aspect is functioning. And yes, I know that the majority of the trades where related to illegal goods, but for me it wasn't a problem at all. That's however not the case for non Bitcoiners. They see dark markets as the center of what Bitcoin as currency is being used for. Some even label Bitcoin as the currency of the underworld. Ridiculous of course, but the media has done it's job more than well when it comes to brainwashing people.

Quote from: mrkevio on November 24, 2016, 03:05:18 AM

Bitcoin can be profitable through mining, so you don't need to complete illegal transactions in order to get your profit with it. I'm using it for good reasons and I always did..

It doesn't really matter how profitable Bitcoin is. It's money with great features where you also enjoy some sort of anonymity. We must blame people for their usage of Bitcoin, and not Bitcoin itself. If you look at how many horrible things are being done with fiat, and that barely anyone blames fiat for it, then why should you blame Bitcoin? Doesn't make any sense.
