Most of the poor countries do not have people connected to internet so I don't see how bitcoin will help those people. But if they are connected to the web and are educated about bitcoin, then we expect bitcoin to contribute to their growth as people can earn bitcoin by doing various tasks online.
They can also buy bitcoins as keep it as an investment for future to benefit from the price appreciation.

These people already struggle to feed their family on a daily basis, so how do you expect them to invest money that they barely have in Bitcoin? Feeding the family is on the first place at all times.

Correct, they would prioritize first on feeding their family rather than putting up money into bitcoin. They would definitely spend those money first on their priority and dont mind to put up money to bitcoin just hoping for getting money on the future. It would make no sense at all.

I dont think so but it can help poor people that can have atleast an extra income but not the country itself. You only need is a phone and a data. You dont need to invest coz you can earn btc without investing.

When a citizen gets his life improved by using bitcoin, a country will definitely get benefits of it. One simple reason must be due to per capita improvement.

Bitcoin has all the potential to offer many different way of earning opportunities that too without any initial investments. Bitcoin could help poor countries in many practical ways, lets wait those to happen like bitcoin bringing revolution to this world.

Bitcoin can't help an entire country. but it can surely help the person who use bitcoin if he's poor. and if a country have a lot of bitcoin users then it will surely be beneficial and for that country.
bitcoin need some contribution. if you contribute with bitcoin and crypto currencies . they will reward you for sure. but if you think bitcoin should give you fortune without doing anything just because you are a poor person then keep dreaming.

Indeed, Aside from that, the only thing we can say about bitcoin can help the poor the country is the major things that we really can do is we must establish first the community in the bitcoin world. we must change their mindset when it comes to bitcoin thought.

That isn't easy. How can we change their mindset about bitcoin thoughts if in the first place accesibility of bitcoin is really hard in their places. If accessing in bitcoin is easy to them then that isn't a problem and we can educate it well.

Anyways please refrain from posting another one if you are the last poster. Include it in one reply instead.

no i do not thing that bitcoin can help poor countries because the poor countries have no facilities available to them, they cannot even trade bitcoin because they even cannot afford internet and cannot having good amount of money to buy bitcoin ,.

I think the country agrees that the poor have a lot of problems. not only financially but mentally, politics and so forth, but it is at least bitcoin might help the private economy of mass

In this statement of yours, you really have a big point on this matter dude! moreover, most of the people are uneducated and illiterate in many things.
But in bitcoin I think there is some other way that they can help them. Just, they must have a strong dedication or determination to know something if they have a big dream.

You also need to be educated a little to be in the course of using bitcoin. Sure it can help but someone will manage it. Are we sure that the person who will do the managing act will be trustworthy to fulfill the said necessity.

Can Bitcoin or any other altcoin help poor countries?
how? what can be done?

I do not think that Bitcoin can help entire countries because that is just to much people and to much ground to cover which means spending allot of money.
Bitcoin can help some districts that maybe need it the most but not entire countries.

Get Rich? Help the poor! Or do not help - after all, you yourself just got and is not obliged to share with others. This ideological dilemma arises not only to individuals but also to entire nations and which, based on the values of a particular society. But bitcoin not so much to be a popular method of assistance.

It depends upon the knowledge and interest of people towards IT and bitcoin. If that country have maximum users of bitcoin and they have better knowledge about it then it will help them to earn handsome money form it. Economy of a country will rise when more people will earn their livings easily.

To make use of bitcoin for a better life, why they need interest on IT. Bitcoin is as simple as using mobile phone.

The only requirement must be a smart phone with data connection. In my opinion too, bitcoin will help poorer countries people to have some part time works to make their life comfortable by earning bitcoin and also by holding bitcoin as saving.

Yes bitcoin could potentially help poor countries it depends in what way though it can not make them unpoor.
But it could maybe help the people there for more jobs cause bitcoin created some jobs if you think about it that way so maybe like that they could earn money.

Right. It may not help the whole country, but it can help the people in it to survive by having a part time income from bitcoin. Even the earnings from signature campaign can be great help if converted to local fiat.

Bitcoin itself cant help poor countries, it might help some people which live at them, they can join a signature or even use faucets to start, and then build their own faucet or project as well focus into signature here, some people do live with 100 dollars monthly, sure inst the perfect live .

Sure it is not perfect life, but for some places in the world 100$ per month is normal thing. So I am agree with you that some passive bitcoin making as faucets can bring some money above to their ordinary money. It can be good undercooking to such places.

I don't think so.
Poor people are in such situation because of luck of education, wars and conflicts, they mostly don'+t have Internet (even electricity), have no food, shelter etc.
Bitcoin can't help such people.
BTC users must have Internet (and electricity), some basic education, computer etc.

well, there are different kinds of poor people. some of them have internet and some of them are educated. bitcoin will not be able to help all and solve all problems, but it can give some people one more opportunity.
