There are many countries where poverty is a great problem. These countries have lack natural sources. There is a lack of technology. These countries have no sources of income or revenue. They are not able to invest in the welfare and education of the people. The standard of living is low there. The people do not have the basic necessities of life. The poverty of these countries affects as whole civilization & economy of the world.
But we can see, if these countries adopt & legalize BTC or crypto business it will help them to control unemployment, create revenue, and boost up their economy.

Here, at the forum, was the opinion that cryptocurrency is one of the tools to combat poverty. But to do this, you need to change your thinking, get the appropriate knowledge and act. And who will tell poor people about cryptocurrencies? So I think that cryptocurrencies can not help in the fight against poverty.

Some of the poorest and most economically depressed countries are embracing cryptocurrencies. This is an interesting experiment and we'll be able to see how cryptos can make a positive impact on these regions.
Embracing bitcoin on bitcoin what is the profit? Those countries that welcomed bitcoin will continue to poor because no money to establish the relationship between them and bitcoin, despite that bitcoin have many enemies from country head's, it have to be valuable also

There are many problems facing the world. Poverty is also a big issue of today. In third world countries . There is a lack of, sourced, education, and natural sources. The people in these countries are spending life at a very low level of life. Education always brings change but the rate of literacy there is very low.
pollution is also a main issue of today. People are not aware of its importance. Some of us are quite careless about it. They do not care about it, they are spoiling their own house. Where they have to spend their life. They are spoiling the atmosphere, air, and their own life. So there is a need to awaken the sense.

Poverty has a broad impact on life, where poverty is not only a personal burden but also a burden on society, the State and the world to alleviate it. The poverty that afflicts a person can have a very serious impact on the life of his family, among others: the development of children's lives, social diseases, difficulties, irregularities in the rules of order.

the impact of poverty is certainly very influential on the economy of a country because if the amount of poverty is high, then the ability to spend is low so that productivity weakens and the economy slows

Poverty is the natural outcome of the neoliberal capitalist society that we live in. Our whole consumerist based model of existence, is rooted in the process of winners and losers: the rich exploit the poor and the cycle goes round.


Take for example when a poor nation needs help the most, the global elite will send in the Internal Monetary Fund under the guise of offering assistance.  The IMF will then pillage said country by selling off it's state industries to its friends for rock bottom prices so the rich can get richer and the poor get poorer.


This is why the equality and fairness of a decentralised form of currency such as Bitcoin is one of the greatest opportunities the world has encountered at closing the divide between the haves and have-nots.


A truly terrifying prospect to the old-money lot who have historically raped and pillaged the global other for their personal greed.


I,for one, hope Bitcoin succeeds to stick he proverbial 'two-fingers' up to these unsavoury characters.

All people should have a sense of responsibility and care about enviroment.But effort of one or several persons wouldn't change the situation,only government can stimulate people to be careful and resposible for what they do.

I think for a global change the people in power should prioritize saving the planet. they are the big whales and they benefited most from exploiting it early in the day, and this change can only be achieved from the bottom down. it won't be changed much from the bottom up, though it would be nice to see everyone at their individual level being more careful.

The next bout of refugees is going to happen for environmental reasons (and partially it is already happening). When people lack drinking water and lose everything in hurricanes or when their islands are permanently flooded due to raising sea levels, they don't have anything else to lose. People think trashing the environment won't leave consequences for them personally, but the consequences will show up on their door steps sooner rather than later. And no wall will hold them. Not to mention most of the world's population is now consuming micro plastic in their drinking water (and Coca Cola and Starbucks). Bon apetit!

The words poverty is really a big problem to the world at large but some country live and dwell in it as their normal way of live which in my country also has caused so many backward to the level of going to any length to achieve their aim and depriving the less privilege their right by bribery or using power on them and their is no one to check them and the legal way to judgement is also corrupt because of poverty level , that is when you are to fight for people and you are been given a huge some of money then the case is nothing or will be jeopardize.

It is very good to say, "The quality of human beings determines the length of life of the earth." This is the most valuable remark I have ever heard, because when people throw garbage and deliberately destroy the ecological balance, natural disasters will come to us!

We are starting to feel the climate disturbance and weakening of our environment, the poverty level, feels these the most. Poverty has different meaning which depends on the point of view of people, it can involve salary, social, and economic contingency. In terms of salary, people considered poor when their salary does not meet its needs to provide their family (less income vs greater needs). Countries can be consider poor if it has a high unemployment rate, which cannot afford to produce a decent normal living to its people.

Environment resources are exhausted because of poverty, use of resources to help them stay alive are damaging: air pollution, water pollution, climate change, and ecosystem are affected. Humanity, overall, stress our environment, poverty to be specific has played a major part on environmental dilapidation not just in your country, but also, across the world. Needy populations, damaging habits in which we use our natural resources, include forest lumber and soil, uninformed of the err, are enduring the damaging cycle that twists the environment to further collapse.

To aid our environment, we need primarily help the poor and to educate people is the key. They need to know what is the harmless and correct methods they can use to dispose their waste. You’re on the right track, crwth(OP), to start with small steps, taking actions to help our environment is very important to begin and sustain our environment back to its healthy condition. Solid Waste Management: Awareness and Practice are being implemented and discuss in our country, which is a good thing to head start address our environmental issues.

That is right. Poverty commonly is defined as financial or economic problems, it is measured by salary income, property or others economic problems. It is considered poor if the income is not fuel fill the needs of people life under the needs. Certain country is claimed poor when the society is not prosperous, many unemployment, little work desk and low of healthy awareness.

In this topic, the term that the writer use to define poverty I think is not relevant with the real meaning. The attitude of society that throwing trash not in the right place is not correlated with this term poverty. This attitude or behavior or  even an habit is not caused of poverty. The causes is they have their awareness and morality. So, they are seemed careless their life and environment.

Every one in this world should take care of the Earth, regardless he or she is rich or poor. We all are same in this world, upper and lower level are just about social stratification. In fact, all have the same right to keep the Earth healthy and safe. No body wants become poor, the poor man also has a dream to become rich. Do not differ between the upper and lower level of human, from any background should keep the world peace and Earth clean.

Poverty and wealth - these concepts are laid from childhood in children of the rich. And the rest are laid in the brain very different values. Later we get the result of different perceptions of people. And life is not a lottery, to hope for good luck, here you need to go to success, only going accompanied by luck and success.
It can be seen by the children as a divider. No matter what the background or what the people have gone through, it’s always divided to the rich and the poor. You need to effort to become rich (if you come from the poor side) if you are already rich, it’s not that hard.

With so much wealth in the World, poverty is a crime against humanity...
People who are rich gets richer, poor people gets poorer. It’s not crime if you were introduced to this world in poverty, the mindset of staying poor is the crime.

... they are rich or poor.
Funny thing about rich and poor is that people think that if you have more salary or have a bigger business you are actually rich. For example: a Boss and a Servant, Boss got $50,000.00 salary less expenses: Rent (e.g., condominium)-$10,500.00, Utility Bills-$5,000.00, Food- $7,000.00, Car-$ 15,000.00, Mall/Shopping-$5,000.00, Credit Cards-$3,000.00, & Others (like payment to the servants or maids)-$5,000.00, while a Servant got $5,000.00 salary less expenses: load of $500.00 with savings of $4,500.00, who is rich? Servants do not need to pay all the bills or other expenses because he/she has a boss that grind for a high paying salary. Society play a major role on how you view poverty. 
The opportunities that are given to the fortunate people are really different from those who are unfortunate enough. If someone came from nothing, it's definitely a humble beginning but not saying that the richer didn't work hard, but the poor have a harder path to walk on. For the servants, it's definitely different, but if they have families to feed and they have to give their earnings to them completely, it's almost about the same. Still, people need to learn and work hard to have a better tomorrow.

It is not the country per se to blame, but the people no matter if they are rich or poor. Even if they live in the first world or developing country, if the person does not have discipline then it does not matter where he comes from. We are all responsible for what happens in our planet. Sadly, not everyone wants to do something to help save it.

Poverty is an exceptionally complicated social phenomenon.   the effects of poverty are revolving, one result leads to another source leads to another consequence. To fully understand the effects of poverty, the causes have to be rooted out to develop strategies to end hunger and starvation for good.
millions suffer from poverty-related health conditions as infectious diseases ravage the lives of an estimated 14 million people a year and are of the top effects of poverty. These diseases are contracted through sources like contaminated water, the absence of water and sanitation, and lack of access to proper healthcare.

Definitely for me it’s important to take care of the earth and the even in my own little way,  just by disposing the right trash in the right bin, being mindful of what I’m doing and supporting recycling.

What’s your take?
People are not mindful of their act as they can't feel the effect outright. It takes a disaster for people to learn that what they are doing is not right. Experienced first before knowing that they should have not done that. It takes a lot of discipline for people to act they same as yours and it could not be done overnight. It should be instill in us upon birth.

Superpower countries are the ones contributing largely to the deterioration of our mother Earth and it's them should find ways to revert what they have done. I am not saying that developing countries would not contribute to lessen the effect of destruction but it is the superpower countries that had the resources to do so.

Probably the movement of France and other countries that are supporting the renewable power source research would give life to saving the world. Hopefully every country would join.

half million people around the world lives in poverty today because when they are given the opportunities to work they don't take it's serious. the that's why threr are more homeless people out there! 
Most of the time, it's not that the people are not serious enough to get jobs but rather, they don't even get the opportunity to even get a job at all. Poverty give rise to criminal activities like Armed Robbery and kidnapping because they will want to do anything that they can to survive.
Yeah, most of the people are not given because of the lack of education they didn’t get to have. That’s becoming a bigger problem.

Its quite alarming that poverty is one of the biggest problem that a country is facing. Its hard to determine where or whay causes poverty. The effect of this to the world a lot of children will not be able to go to school., out of school youths, jobless people, hunger and many more. Poverty is somewhat a root for many problems. I hope each government will deal with it.
There are a lot of root causes and the biggest one in my opinion is the corruption.

I think in a similar way. You may not be able to fix the problem by yourself but at least do what you canon a personal level and live by your principles. Now if everyone thought that way, the world would be just fine I think. Keep spreading the word my friend.
I guess that would be helpful if everyone has the ability to think like that and apply it to their everyday life, but I don’t think so. Some people just care about their individual self and just forget about other stuff.

I agree that everyone should have a sense of responsibility taking care of the planet. It might be a small thing to do but in the long run, it would be considered a great effect.

Why don't we start by stating the fact that countries like USA etc wants many other countries to remain poor. They never want third world countries to develop to any extent. They try their best to continue tensions in society, funds ngo that support and recruit such activists.

Poor is actual state of mind. The more needs u have the more poor u will feel. Keep your desires less and you will be the richest person on Earth.
I haven't thought about it that way but that's just crab mentality at its finest. If you think about it, it make sense because who will do the lower level of works if everyone is equal or something like that.

It's the hardship that poorness brings, if you don't get to eat for days, there's a problem.

I have noticed it in the world that we live in there are definitely differences in the rich and the poor. When it comes to character, they have both parts that are either annoying or very helpful. It depends on the upbringing of the person which some people have said. People who have no sense of responsibility is definitely people who doesn't care about what happens to the world. It's sad to see those things.
The rich and the poor have a big difference but it still depends on what the person does.  It is definitely sad to see those things but what can you really do right? If the person doesn’t want to improve themselves or see what their mistakes are.

We the people who live in this world are the ine who is responsible for taking care of the earth just like like how we take good care of our self. Because we also will suffer if the earth will destroy and  also poverty also affect the earth.Many of us has no control in using thing that will affect the world.,

Having a sense of responsibility is the primary key to maintaining a healthy environment. When we accept that we indirectly pay for our actions in, one way or the other, when we throw waste indiscriminately we will begin to be more responsible to ensure we have a safe environment.
You are responsible but how is that going to help if some other people are not responsible? I think that what we doing in the small things would affect in greater things especially in the future.

Now if you ask me what happiness is? I would answer you without hesitation that happiness is contentment. Because when you have that contentment in you can't feel poverty because contentment is a treasure that will never ever run out.

I don't see Dan Blitzerian commiting suicide anytime soon and no , happiness is not contentment with what you have, that is just to keep you from not raging against the system. Happiness is to do whatever you like to do without giving account to anything or anyone. Unfortunately it cannot be achieved, but life is not unfair, at least I don't see it as such.

i would argue that happiness is security (or at least security is the base that happiness can grow on), as in no worries about your future.  pretty much you need to own property and a home, and have enough things of value (money/crops/tradegoods/livestock/crafts/knowledge/whatever) that you know your future needs will be met with what you have or know you can produce.

at that point you can more or less not worry that others control your future, instead of you (i discount war/terrorism/tinfoil hat stuff).

so actually, perhaps happiness is having control of your life.


For me, it's the perspective that you have towards life is what counts. Dan Blitzerian for sure lives a lavish lifestyle full of supermodels and of course, money. It's just that your point of view should change and help people to those who have nothing. It's different for every people and what could the people in poverty do when they only have their own individuality and nothing significant to offer someone. In a way, it's also the hardship in the country where it has caused different criminality acts to satisfy themselves and try to live.

life isn't that great even when your rich.  The amount of wealthy people I know that have committed suicide is very high. Money can bring more depression and more problems.

I couldn't agree more. Life is always unfair, deal with it. Now if you ask me what happiness is? I would answer you without hesitation that happiness is contentment. Because when you have that contentment in you can't feel poverty because contentment is a treasure that will never ever run out.

Having a sense of responsibility is the primary key to maintaining a healthy environment. When we accept that we indirectly pay for our actions in, one way or the other, when we throw waste indiscriminately we will begin to be more responsible to ensure we have a safe environment.

It is human nature. The way you act is based on how you have been raised. Practically speaking, those who have nothing are the very person who's throwing trash without a care in the surrounding, because of the way they were raised in their environment.
So basically it’s your upbringing that makes you who you are now and that makes sense. The basic moral act to be responsible of your own trash should be imposed and knowing that it could affect different stuff from health to infrastructures. I guess education is really key to this.

With the hardships that these people are facing, they really don't care about anything except how to make ends meet, in my country people exploit the land and water bodies for illegal mining because they lack jobs and want to make ends meet.
We really can't blame them if that's their way of living but the fact is that they really need to know what the consequences are on what they are doing. Illegal activities shouldn't be tolerated but how can you really stop them? I think offering an alternative would be a great way.

life isn't that great even when your rich.  The amount of wealthy people I know that have committed suicide is very high. Money can bring more depression and more problems.

I couldn't agree more. Life is always unfair, deal with it. Now if you ask me what happiness is? I would answer you without hesitation that happiness is contentment. Because when you have that contentment in you can't feel poverty because contentment is a treasure that will never ever run out.
Whether or not Life is unfair to you, you shouldn't let life let you down. That's my opinion. I have felt suicidal too but I didn't go to it because I think it's such a waste and there are more things to be done.

Poverty means the quality or state of being poor or indigent; want or scarcity of means of subsistence; indigence; need. From the definition poverty is lacking what is needed to make living easy. In this twenty first century having education is one very essential thing to be successful. When people can't afford education they can't have good jobs in my country so they become idol and there is a common saying in my country that says "an idol mind is the devil's workshop" so some who are desperate are hoodwinked into becoming terrorist like we have in Northern Nigeria. And this is a global problem. When people don't have good jobs they come behind in their budget hence they try to circumvent by engaging in crime like armed robbery, scam, selling and abuse of drugs, human trafficking etc.

Here, at the forum, was the opinion that cryptocurrency is one of the tools to combat poverty. But to do this, you need to change your thinking, get the appropriate knowledge and act. And who will tell poor people about cryptocurrencies? So I think that cryptocurrencies can not help in the fight against poverty.

I am sincerely hoping it will.
Changing money sysstems to digital; giving people a digital identity; allowing access to services only reserved for those with a bank account....it's not just absolute 3rd world poverty, it's also helping those in each developed country living below the breadline (acceptable minimum living conditions) and those struggling just above it
We can do this, I honestly and fervently hope.

Definitely life aren't fair, being poor never has advantage, depression and suicidal thoughts are caused by so many factors which social anxiety is the chief head of all.
Depression and suicidal tendencies can happen to anyone in respective of their status and securities.

Nevertheless when you are rich you have some sort of security.

I think something we need to keep in mind is that the current system is designed to keep the majority of people in poverty (globally).
Wealthy countries provide "aid" to poorer countries in what seems to be a gesture of goodwill but in actual fact, it is merely a means of control.

We all know the saying, give a man a fish and u feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Well, there is another part of that saying that they don't talk about. If you give a man a fish every day of his life then you OWN him for the rest of his lfe. He will do whatever you tell him to do because he and his family are depending on that fish you give them every day. Much like how a dog will not bite the hand the person that feeds it. The current system is designed to maintain power over the masses by enslaving them with "handouts"

Blockchain technology has the potential to take away the power from the few and put in the hands of the masses. Blockchain has the ability to change everything and it's only a matter of time until people start realizing it.

The best way to create a new system is not to destroy the old one, but instead, build a new system that simply makes the old on obsolete.

Blockchain will be the new revolution, taking away power from governments and corporations, instead, it will place this power in the hands of the people!
Yes blockchain will do a better job  but yet you still need to start up with something, mostly money. In a poor or poverty driven environment it doesn't come easy at all. Investing in crypto requires money, for instance 1 ETH cost above 700$ which might worth a fortune somewhere.

Some of the poorest and most economically depressed countries are embracing cryptocurrencies. This is an interesting experiment and we'll be able to see how cryptos can make a positive impact on these regions.

To aid our environment, we need primarily help the poor and to educate people is the key. They need to know what is the harmless and correct methods they can use to dispose their waste. You’re on the right track, crwth(OP), to start with small steps, taking actions to help our environment is very important to begin and sustain our environment back to its healthy condition. Solid Waste Management: Awareness and Practice are being implemented and discuss in our country, which is a good thing to head start address our environmental issues.
I also agree that education is the most important thing to be applied especially if you let the others know what their actions can do to the environment and what more could they do? I think it’s the people who look blindly at their faults and chose not to fix their actions. People focus on themselves that they forget what the consequences is and how it affects it in a bigger scale.

Here, at the forum, was the opinion that cryptocurrency is one of the tools to combat poverty. But to do this, you need to change your thinking, get the appropriate knowledge and act. And who will tell poor people about cryptocurrencies? So I think that cryptocurrencies can not help in the fight against poverty.
I think it is the people that needs to adjust and crypto currencies can definitely help fight poverty if people that has a lot would give time to those who doesn’t have. But mainly, the people who has money would definitely wouldn’t help with that a lot. (Not saying everyone but mostly)

Perhaps the perceived impact of poverty is the increase in the unemployment rate, and the resulting income becomes thinned or even absent, if there is no income and still has dependents for his son, then the education of children who are victims of poverty.

We are starting to feel the climate disturbance and weakening of our environment, the poverty level, feels these the most. Poverty has different meaning which depends on the point of view of people, it can involve salary, social, and economic contingency. In terms of salary, people considered poor when their salary does not meet its needs to provide their family (less income vs greater needs). Countries can be consider poor if it has a high unemployment rate, which cannot afford to produce a decent normal living to its people.

Environment resources are exhausted because of poverty, use of resources to help them stay alive are damaging: air pollution, water pollution, climate change, and ecosystem are affected. Humanity, overall, stress our environment, poverty to be specific has played a major part on environmental dilapidation not just in your country, but also, across the world. Needy populations, damaging habits in which we use our natural resources, include forest lumber and soil, uninformed of the err, are enduring the damaging cycle that twists the environment to further collapse.

To aid our environment, we need primarily help the poor and to educate people is the key. They need to know what is the harmless and correct methods they can use to dispose their waste.

Definitely for me it’s important to take care of the earth and the even in my own little way,  just by disposing the right trash in the right bin, being mindful of what I’m doing and supporting recycling.
Earth is our host and we are the parasite. If you let the parasite grow then it will destroy the host someday. No host no parasite. So, one way or another, we are the problem for the mother earth. The best thing we can do is, do as little harm as we can to the mother earth. Take care of your host.

They disregard to throw their trash in the right places probably they are just lazy people and does not think twice what they can cause in the long run. When throwing trash, there’s a choice but when it comes to making a living it is different.
This is one big problem we have in my country, Disregard to what your today actions might cause on a long run.
As demeaning as it may. I think atoning for every action you take will solve this kind of problem, take for instance in my country you can throw trash on the ground depending on the environment you find yourself and no one will dear question you.
But then this same people throwing trash anywhere they like when they travel to other country they seems to act civilized and do things accordingly why because, they know that every wrong action you take will always attract a punishment, possible jail time in that country they visited.
Just like this prestigious Bitcointalk.org forum, when caught you get ban for any rule you break thereby making people abide by rules. 
However most underdeveloped countries lacks accountability, thereby making people misbehave even those so called government officials.

There are a lot of factors were the country could be considered a Third World country. Say they are the least developed country or the economy is not really working and just staying on the same level. It has something to do with social programs and how that government or the blame society is applying to the lesser people who has no power or just staying alive for now until they can get some meaning in life. What I need by meaning they could handle all the things that life throws at them and staying still with all the problems in knowing what to do when they have them.

This brings curiosity in my part because in my country there are a lot of people who doesn’t care about the World and the environment they just doesn’t really necessarily know how to take care of the earth if that makes sense. They disregard to throw their trash in the right places probably they are just lazy people and does not think twice what they can cause in the long run. When throwing trash, there’s a choice but when it comes to making a living it is different.

Smoke belching vehicles have been obviously a big factor to the global increase in carbon dioxide emissions and it seriously affects us every minute days goes by. If you manage to understand what drivers are into and that they have no choice but to drive those vehicles and thait’s the only way to live.

Is it because people disregard of that environment because they have less than others? Meaning they don’t have the mindset or wouldn’t think about saving the environment because they are thinking only about themselves? Or is it the richer this regards the environment or just the person? I’m thinking if it was directly proportional or somehow related to what the person’s capability is and what they could afford. Something like that.

Definitely for me it’s important to take care of the earth and the even in my own little way,  just by disposing the right trash in the right bin, being mindful of what I’m doing and supporting recycling.

What’s your take?
