Except the the beggar can read and write and expose to new technologies hence it will be difficult for a beggar to access bitcoin. Transacting in bitcoin and cryptocurrency required education to enable understanding the principle on how it work.

Beggars who are with knowledge of reading and writing they can access bitcoin, there is a lot of places now with the internet cafe so that the beggars can log in using the computer in the Internet Cafe. If beggars have there own gadgets together with the free Internet they can access also in bitcoin, but first of all they need to understand about what the bitcoin is with the help of other people who convince them to join in Bitcoin.Because beggar only knows begging the help of others.

Definitely, they can't (I guess) given the fact that they don't have any access to the internet plus they don't have enough money to buy smartphones or a laptop. It's quite impossible for them to access Bitcoin, especially for their status (I'm not discriminating them). But that's the reality nowadays, If you are been left by ages it's quite hard to cope up, given now that the technology is continuously upgrading rapidly.

I think they need a smartphone to access bitcoin or laptop. Like we all know the only access to bitcoin or other crypto is to be online. It is digital and obviously it needs an electronic devices to get into digital world.

If all paper money were change into Bitcoins, can it be access and use by everyone? how can the beggars access Bitcoin?
The only way I know that people can access Bitcoin is by making use of electronic devices such as laptops, smartphone, desktop computers and other similar devices. Apart from that, I don’t know any other way you can make use of Bitcoin.

It’s not like regular physical currencies you can hold in your hands and use them without the help computers. So if you don’t have the things I mentioned, there is no way you can access Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Same thing applies to beggars.

I think everyone can access bitcoin but with a note and the main thing is he must have a smart phone or computer to access the data after that he also needs a bank account to be able to pull the bitcoin itself, so whoever his person as long as it has two factors will definitely be able to access bitcoin easily though before it has to have first knowledge about bitcoin

Beggars also must have money and smartphone and if beggars understand about the internet, then beggars can also get bitcoin. Bitcoin can be obtained by everyone if they are interested in cryptocurrency. I would not feel strange if a beggars having bitcoin, because bitcoin can be obtained easily only with the internet.

My opinion - only after introduction of mass implantation of the chips similar to cash cards with a possibility of remote reading, and when using a certain single currency.

First of all, this is totally a hypothetical as it is very difficult to regulate Bitcoin as a currency and no government will agree to it. Further I believe in the near future we might need an alternative to paper money and at that time we may have some centralized virtual currency and by that time I am quite sure that technology will be much cheaper and accessible to everyone across the globe.

Good point and question. If ever the time comes that we'll all just rely on cryptocurrencies as a means of trading, it would be almost impossible for beggars and the likes to transact and pay for their daily needs if necessary. Bitcoin relies heavily on technology; but is the government will provide the necessary tech, then I think this issue can be solved easily.

In order beggars can access bitcoin, they need to have gadgets and internet connection. First thing to do is to understand its use and its process, because after all they can easily access and do the transactions.

They will have access to the internet. If bitcoin becomes the money to use, everybody including the beggars would be internet compliant.

This question is like a thread I saw on this forum too , titled, homeless use bitcoin. Here is the thread-

As long as internet is hard to access and not free, we cannot expect beggars to have access on bitcoin, like here in our country, we pay a huge amount of money just to have a good connection, most of us don't have access to the internet, so we cannot expect the beggars to have it to when we ourselves are having a hard time to get it.

It cannot be access by everyone.. especially the beggars, That is why it will never happen. Paper money will stay because not everyone has an access to internet and not all is educated enough to learn how to use, and own bitcoin.

It's very impossible unless they will give chances to beggars. And yes you are right paper money will remain as it is because not everyone are well trained and well educated when it comes to accessing devices through internet. But I'm hoping that they will train those less fortunate people because they're the one's who badly need it, bitcoin can really help them a lot.

Internet is a major requirement to be able to access Bitcoin, smartphones and computers is a medium to get connected to the internet, if we want to join Bitcoin must have a smartphone or have a computer. In my opinion, converting paper money into digital money is a frightening scenario where there are still many people who depend on paper money, as well as a beggar.
It could be possible, we can open an outlet for beggars and train them for full-awareness and understanding about bitcoin. However, it could be very hard specially it requires internet to access it and a strong grasp on how gadgets work, nevertheless if we put a hand on hand support then it can truly be realized and learned.

No! if all paper money gone or converted it to bitcoin not all people could afford to access it specially to beggars you said. Because how could they access it if even gadgets they don't have. The poor will be poorer if all paper money will convert to a crypto currency.

We don't know when will paper money be replaced by bitcoin maybe it will take for how many years and I guess big changes in high technologies would happen too so does the beggars they will also try to use these gadgets for transacting bitcoin because since there is no use of paper money ofcourse they will beg for cryptocurrencies and in order for them to use it they have to access the internet.
