I strongly agree this point. Because if they know the basic communication skill and basic education. It will help the people to work in online to get some payment in weekly or monthly.Even they can participate in signature to get some wre

It's not an easy as you think.

-As much as possible, direct salary is most preferred because they can used it right away once they received it unlike in cryptos.

-Even they learned some things needed to work on cryptos like on signature as you mentioned, adults tend to focus in finding jobs around the area because they needed money right away. It will take time to learned signature campaign and with the current status of forum ranking that will be more difficult.

-Online tools. Rather than buying PC or any platforms to accessed the web, a standard family will choose to spend on basic and important needs. Plus accessing internet also has a cost which I doubt poor families will prioritized it first.

As far as I know there are charities that accept bitcoin as a mode of payment or mode of donation. But this is a very minimal kind of impact to the underdeveloped countries. The only thing that I can think of bitcoin's use for the lessenning of poverty is to make them earn money from investing in bitcoin. Making them join online jobs through bitcoin payment.

Illiteracy is the cause of poverty. We know a cup of coffee (Starbucks) = 20 notebooks, or a school bag, or two pairs of slippers for poor children in Vietnam.

bitcoin can help poor children in underdeveloped countries and developed countries,
we are heading towards it, that is "Equality", in the future I'm sure no one is too rich and too poor,
maybe Bitcoin can not help all the current generation out of poverty,
but the generation after us will definitely be helped by Bitcoin...

Well it can help in a sense that the youth can have more choices of having a source of income where they do not givve up their studies. As a youth in a third world country, I am using bitcoin's full potential in earning monwy to pay my tuition fee and school fees. It may not help them directly but it can help them in some ways. But I think that is a good thing. I do not see any direct impact of bitcoin to poverty, except mode of donation.

There are already nonprofit organizations that help undeveloped countries and accept bitcoin as donations. I think btc4hunger is one of them.

Exactly...illiteracy is the root cause of many social evils and it is only due to illiteracy that most of the nations are still on the verge of development instead of being called as fully developed. When the nation is educated its human resources are developed and trust me developed human resource is an unmatched possession that a nation can have. So that is why many of the world organizations are working in this direction to promote education among the children to eradicate the common social evils from their very root. In fact education is now considered as one of the basic needs of living along with food, clothing and shelter.

It’s not bitcoins responsibility to feed pr help people. It is humans responsibility to help each other, specifically the government. We can create charity programs or fund raisers with bitcoin though and it is guaranteed to help them due to bitcoins abundance and its value. If each of us is kind enough maybe we can try to provide their basic needs. Its a long shot I know but it might just work. They dont have much access as we do since they are in a third world country. The advancement of their technology is too slow and their lack of education is a big hindrance for them to progress. Again, bitcoin cannot help the poor, only people can, but people’s selfishness and greed is just disgustingly too much. Sad

I think that bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general could prove to be an intelligent solution to help the unbanked people in the third world and give financial inclusion. In the end, to use and store cryptos (not in huge amount maybe) a smartphone is enough.

I wish it would be different but the answer is no.
Bitcoin can't solve the poverty in the world or help the children, except only temporary through donations.
Sophisticated technology is hardly finding the way in third world countries and not to mention the lack of education. Then corruption, lack of resources, constant political instability. I'm afraid Bitcoin can't help with these problems.

Africa is a good example of how people can destroy anything.

Quote from: Rath_ on April 03, 2018, 07:03:16 AM

In the colonial times, they had no problems with surviving - they had to do hard work but at least they were given food and place to live.

What's happening there now? Black people got rid of white and created their own governments. Famine, overpopulation are common things now.

stop talking nonsense, you must be a person who never left basement of your home and never saw the world

Better to be very poor than to be a slave, people should be free.

I don't mean that white people are better.

hahahaha

You have never been to any village, the moment you become selfish and you have all power in your hand, you will have many problems. You need to know how to trust people, how to give them money and freedom.

the problem of Africa is excessive corruption, but not all African is corrupt and incompetent as you think, there are many richer Africans that you are and much smarter than you. never underestimate other people and never be a racist person.

Why are you asking this question? What is your goal?

It can help anyone with this bitcoin let alone the children who are deficient In terms of economics we can make a little donation of the results we get from this bitcoin to donate to underprivileged children in various countries, actually without any bitcoin we can help children who are less able if we want to donate sincerely.

I do not think that poor children can buy a computer or speculate at the price of the Bitcoin. since the currency is universal and can be used by anyone, it may benefit the poor in the following:

The acceptance of the Bitcoin will stimulate the local market, thus the economy is flourishing and (poverty & unemployment) will low
Open-source currencies will enable smart children to develop their own currency
The use of Bitcoin globally will enable everyone who has the talent to find a source of livelihood for him and his family(drawing, singing,...etc)

In general, the answer is yes

Actually bitcoin can't help people because bitcoin just a virtual currency, it's depend on those people who use bitcoin. For those people who have a lot of bitcoin and have concern for children, they can donate their bitcoin to help children especially in undeveloping countries.

The answer to your question in the title is no.

The answer to a similar question (Can we help poor children in underdeveloped countries by using bitcoin), is yes.

It's just like any other form of payment. We can all donate money if the people on the other end who are making sure that the money goes to the right places know how to use bitcoin. If they're able to get our donations and use them for the right items instead of keeping it for themselves / investing it back into the market, then yes, through us, bitcoin can help children.

For me it can only in this case when goverment make some taxes on every payment with bitcoin in country and whole amount will be given to childrean, for me it is not that bad idea.

Bitcoin is only a coin, and it can not do things that are outside the power of a coin (which can only measure wealth, not create it).
If the children are poor in dollars, they will be poor even with bitcoins.

I think education still is important to help those poor children in underdeveloped countries. Of course Bitcoin can be their source of motivation, but I would prefer them to be literate so they would know the basics and fundamentals of Bitcoin, or basically what its purpose is to our society. And I think if Bitcoin would still be here for a long time, yes it can help poor children from those underdeveloped countries, we just need to teach them and educate them so they would understand it.

Doubt that it can help, usually these countries are not well educated and probably have no idea what a PC or Bitcoin is.
