Bitcoin, just like other currencies is only a tool. It cant help anybody by itself. It depends on the person who uses that tool. So, bitcoin cant help poor countries if those countries dont make any action regarding bitcoin. It seems complicated but thats the truth!

Bitcoin itself cant help poor countries but it can help people to earn money with bitcoin. and if you are a hard working person, you can take it as a full time job and help you somehow to have a good life.

So how people from poor countries can work for bitcoin if internet connection is really horrible? Also how they will do such bitcoin earning method if they are lacked of devices?

And more importantly, how they can use their bitcoin if no exchanger that has a convertion services is not available since I think no exchanger will opened services for poor countries due to lack of accessibility.

If there's an internet yes.

But people on those poor countries doesn't have a reliable internet service together with devices that can accessed the web. Also I think there is no local exchanger that will make such service in those poor countries since accessibility will really goes into difficult way.

Help a poor country means? To grow? I don't think so if it's only bitcoin. Honestly, even bitcoin will be accepted in a country, that country must not depend their economic growth on it. Of course every country has their own ways to be productive and grow, if ever, bitcoin will just be an addition to that. It can help those unemployed citizens individually if they will be giving such effort to learn about it and earn it.

I wouldn't see how tbh, like someone else mentioned maybe there will be less money going to corrupted governments because everything goes digital and they have no saying in this but besides that there's not much it could do I guess

Bitcoin or any other altcoin cannot necessarily help poor countries. Not everyone in third world countries has an Internet access, and even if somebody has an Internet access, it doesn't assure that he is interested or is he knowledgeable about Bitcoin. I think the only people that can financially helped by Bitcoin are those that have a deep knowledge about it. The trading, gambling, and other stuffs that you can do with Bitcoin can only be obtained through experience and an intrinsic interest towards Bitcoin.

yes bitcoin can help poor countries. Just like what happened to me and my peers who are living in a third world country. Before many of us do not earn while at home and some just sit on the couch and watching television. But when bitcoin came into the picture within our homes we can earn thru online jobs and signature campaigns and from investments. By sitting on the couch and facing the computer we are earning bitcoins and convert it to cash.

I don't think so. These countries are poor for a reason. If you would look at them with caution, you will find out that these countries' governments have either not accepted US's rules or got some mass of oil or commodities. Anyways, I'm going off topic right now.

Bitcoin can't help poor countries, except if there was a donation or something where we could send our money to be spent for the poor. However, we've seen many of these 'donations' and no change at all so...

Bitcoin cannot help a poor country. I have the following reasons which I would like to site:

Low Internet access - If people cant access internet how will they even know about bitcoin let alone do transactions through it.
Low Security measures - totally insecure to them since they have very low knowledge
Low Fees for miners - This will hurt miners
Low usage - People in poor countries are "Poor" - they need more time to work hard and earn Fiat, since they are poor they would never accept bitcoin as primary source of money and would never believe that it is secure as well.

Bitcoin can't help the poor countries in any way because it is not the magic lantern of Aladin. If the country is tech savy even after being poor then the people can help themselves by earning some bitcoin for themselves. Nothing else will help.

Government of the poor countries doesn't have the infrastructure to adopt bitcoin as a currency, neither they have willingness.

For me bitcoin can't help the country when the country is poor some countrybare populated but if a poor people start using bitcoin probably it can help them to earn money for their selves because poor people is the problem of the goverment and not a bitcoin problem

Poor countries need a very optimistic government towards new tech so that they can embrace bitcoin like tecnology and support mining bitcoin to generate free foreign currency which they can use to increase their USD holdings to become stronger economically. But most of the poor countries are poor due to corrupt political system and political unsatability and they don't have enough time to consider and learn about bitcoin.

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.

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.

Bitcoin is not some magic pill that will solve all problems.

Bitcoin might be able to help reduce curruption on some levels and make it harder for public money to dissappear in the hands of the few (e.g. charity money can be traced on the blockchain and verified what it is spend on).

But for a lot of poor countries, there are more fundamental things that need to change in order to increase the wealth of the countries.
