Can Bitcoin or any other altcoin help poor countries?
how? what can be done?
Bitcoin and another coins are never will help the poor countries is exit from their problem because like the countries is becoming a poor country is caused by how their government is managing their country and bitcoin is just a currency and just helping you in the currency area.
I do believe that Bitcoin can somehow help poor countries because of the value that Bitcoin has at the moment. I do not think that they are going to help tho.
Maybe Bitcoin needs to become a bit bigger as a company before they move on to something like that.

I think yes, if somebody collect charity using bitcoin to help them, we can teach them how to use bitcoin and any other valuable crypto currency, but it need help from the user first, because if the user not helping them to set up internet connection or teach them about bitcoin, i dont think any of them know what is bitcoin
charity mean bitcoin can't directly help poor countries because charity can be done through another currency,and i think teaching those poor people about bitcoin is not a good idea since they don't even have a computer nor an internet connection neither so it's really difficult to teach them,they even maybe don't have the basics of operating computer

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

They can do it just by using Bitcoin itself because using Bitcoin is clearly cheaper than using a Bank or any other transaction method. And they can also do some online works and get the money with Bitcoin, which is more difficult to do when using fiat.

It's depend on the online connection status of the said poor country.

Honestly banks are having a hard time too to reach those people in a poor country so what's more if it's on bitcoin.

Bitcoin will help poor country if some one manage a donation for it. Many people who had enough money wiling to help if possible but need people who will manage the donation if people in that country is too poor and don't have internet connection.
Requires a vast amount of bitcoin can help poor countries. It may also be helpful but not too much. But if it is performed and managed well will definitely help poor countries.

Bitcoin can help them but the question is how it would help them because is most poor countries the poor people do not have any access to the internet.
Because of the fact that Bitcoin operates via the internet makes this a big problem.

It's a very easy question. If indeed in the poor countries do not yet have internet then we must construct a base to introduce the internet to everyone about the bitcoin. After that we did a socialization towards bitcoin, it does things that are very simple. But it takes a lot of energy and also the funds to build it all

Maybe they have internet, at least mobile internet however they have a limited data transfer and that's the hard point because they can't watch videos like tutorials to learn more... And I think most of they have cellphones too, the problem is the computers to do some work(after learning of course), like freelance...
Yes and the other problem is the criminality, maybe they will have the pcs stolen...

I am sure of it that Bitcoin can help some poor countries but if it is willing to do that and how they would do that are two different questions.
But I know that Bitcoin is capable of doing something like this now or maybe even in the future.

Yes, of course bitcoin can help the poor countries people, but we can't say that bitcoin do everything for poor countries but still bitcoin helpful for them, Because bitcoin give them work and than they can earn the money.

Maybe the initial founds it's the hardest part of all because none give a fuck, people just want invest in altcoins and speculation but the options around the bitcoin/blockchain are so varied, I think on 10 years we can start doing great things and change the world.

I think in poor countries with high inflation, bitcoin is a very good method to safe your money from a decrease of its worth.
Although bitcoin is volatile, it is much more stable than the fiat of some 3rd world countries.
That's one reason why there a lot of people only accept the big fiat currencies like dollar or euro.
But if they have those in cash, there is the problem of transferring it.
Bitcoin can bring a solution there as well.

Bitcoin is useful to people working abroad who want to send money to their family and relatives living in poor countries without having to pay the exorbitant remittance fees that money transfer companies charge.
Yes, especially those who are working in a country that the remittance fee is very expensive, with bitcoin they can send anytime they want because were 24/7 and they do not worry of the transaction cost because it is very manageable or cheap which is close to none.

Bitcoin is not like a gold mine where poor countries will go mining and say 'huraa!!' we got wealth. Bitcoin depends on technology which is a challenge to most poor countries. Therefore, I don't believe in your notion that bitcoin will help poor countries.  
I think it's possible. you can see how bitcoin can help someone out of their financial problems. and I think if a country has a large number of bitcoin users and many of them earn big profits from bitcoin. then it might be helping the country

Yes but then they would need alot of people using bitcoin and all of them would have to have an incredible share on the bitcoin market otherwise they wouldn't be able to help the country via bitcoin is my opinion. Maybe if they use bitcoin only so all the people are forced to use it then it could help.

Yes, Bitcoin definitely can help people living in poor countries. Here are just two examples how:

1. People from poor countries can earn Bitcoin doing some services online (like coding, photoshopping etc.)

2. They can find something which is cheap in their country but is in demand in rich countries and sell it via post making profits.

Well, you also can do those even without use bitcoin as payment method or currency, so it don't change anything.
Maybe you should think if those poor people don't have internet connection or computer, how bitcoin can help those people?

I will explain. If you are poor the extent that neither you nor any of your friends have a computer than yes Bitcoin will not help you. But in today's world many people, even very poor people, can get some access to the Internet and in that case Bitcoin is very handy because normally you can earn only small amounts online and you can't afford fees for transactions which serviceas like Western Union charge. Also take into account that mostly poor people simply do not have credit cards at all.

Bitcoin itself can't help poor countries by granting them more resources, yet it can help them restructure their financial system, leading to economical growth.
