Bitcoin is a form of money and as we all know that money alone can't change any country's condition as most of other things are also needed for a nation to prosper and to be self sufficient but in terms of other vices like corruption, black marketing etc bitcoin can very well be the solution
CORUPTION It is a big problem of most poor countries. Although this malicious phenomenon flourishes in other countries where there are less people's living standards. Poverty is this phenomenon not win and bitcoin is better not even think to direct for these purposes.

I think it just need some courage to help every person. But for a whole country it will be hard. If every single man could see bitcoin as a good investment then they might see it as a helpful way for each one.
It would be impossible if your aiming for the whole country because even on convincing one people would be already hard how much more on millions of people. If people would do find good thing on bitcoin he would surely use it no matter whatI think it just need some courage to help every person. But for a whole country it will be hard.

And actually bitcoin isn't good for governments at all because this can be bad for the fiat and we have the anonymous factor here.

Well, Bitcoin can be earned through faucets on the Internet, has zero maintaining balance, does not require a credit check, is corruption-resistant (politically and financially speaking), and can potentially grow in value over time. These aren't just "cool features." These features collectively represent the only financial services that these economic tiers could hope to be eligible for.
Cryptocurrencies know no borders, so a person in a Vietnam, for instance, can purchase some bitcoin and use it as a store of value that protects from the domestic fiat currency that is being devalued, or the Bitcoin payment network can be used to move that value abroad for investment -- something not otherwise possible today because of capital controls and/or fees causing such a cross-border transaction to be prohibitive...

Knowing that bitcoin can be earned for free, with just a internet conection its possible to help some people wich live at poor countries, as long their internet provider has stable acess and low cost as well.
People living in second world countries could earn themselves some coins through signature campaigns, or just by offering their services to the public. But that's different for people living in third world countries. These people mostly don't have enough money for food and stuff. And for that reason, it will be a costly thing to pay for an internet connection while they need that money to feed their family. So no, I don't think Bitcoin will be of much value for them in that aspect.
I think isn't hard to find a celphone with internet connection even in poor countries but I doubt this signature campaigns, faucets or whatever can improve their lifes. If was easy, poverty would not exist. We have to thank for have where to sleep.
to find a cellphone maybe it isn't that hard to do but to have a internet access will be the for some countries and most of people can't afford to have their own internet on their home and they are just depending to prepaid credit that can give them an access which is not actually enough or meaning to say does not have enough speed .

Can Bitcoin or any other altcoin help poor countries?
how? what can be done?
I don't think so, to help poor countries need more than just digital currency.how? what can be done?
Poor country means people income less than standard
Bitcoin may help some people who joined the forum to get an extra income, but not an entire country.
BTC can help poor countries only when associated to equality and goodwill.
Money is never the only answer.

I think it cant since bitcoin have requirement with big amount of capital poor people in poor countries can not afford that requirements they need to buy foods and clothes to survive them.
Well i do understand the most earn money just to pay bills and food, with that said if they know english, sure they can join a signature here, and i would consider buy a computer and internet an investment that they can do and get a better life, with a job they can get a loan at their banks, and with the income of signatures i do believe they can repay the loan and improve their life.

You can work for bitcoin, you don't need capital to start, just like what we are doing right now... Just because they are poor they can't hold bitcoin, it's not like that, as long as they have knowledge about it, they could manage to have a bitcoin... Some native don't even wear clothes, and eat what they caught in the forest, but some of them are educated and even wealthier than others... What I mean is,anyone can have a bitcoin, as long as they have knowledge about it...
Besides, working online is not the real essence on why bitcoin is created, it's just part of the benefits but it will not last forever.
The most broke people I know can even afford to rent a computer. I don't think being poor is a valid excuse for not learning about bitcoin if you really want to because everyone has a smartphone nowadays and even if you don't have one, you can always borrow from a friend or a relative.

It is already helping poor countries. In places like kenya and stuff there are people going there and setting bitcoin banks with the help of cheap computers and cheap smartphones, or even nokia type of phones throught SMS. An economy can be started with a single cheap device.
I think there is no urgency to use bitcoin for poor countries, unless they are using bitcoin to revenue and improve their economy and their country, Jump to:
