[Nope]No hype delivers more than hope

should we consider them in participating from this great benefits in bitcoin or assume an exemption for them.
Actually there are no exceptions. However due to security and capability reasons, it is possible that some people with physical disabilities will never have a chance with bitcoin independently, especially blind people it is not recommended. Bitcoins are digital objects that can only be recognized (well identified) visually.

The only way out for now is for them to do everything with the help of someone they can trust.

Bitcoin is for everyone and no one has the right to ban who joins and who shouldn't, everyone can as long as they like. But I have a question here, like deaf people, they can use bitcoins but blind people can't use smratphones, is there any way to help them access bitcoins and use bitcoins?.

I support this option, it can be a useful solution to help people who are less able to earn an income outside for some reason, but we also need to let them know about the unpredictable fluctuations of the market, to avoid unfortunate risks.

I consider how bitcoin adoption is ever increasing each day despite bitcoin running dip in price, many people have seen and taken the good advantage in using the digital currency for many reasons that best suit their needs, now i consider this set of physically challenged people (blind, deaf1 and dumb)

So, since when is a dumb person considered physically challenged?  Grin

What do you mean by exemption?
shouldn't we consider them having the same equal right to enjoy the benefit use of bitcoin?.

Then you phrased it wrong, as an exemption would be the opposite in this situation, although I can't picture how an exemption would work when there is no obligation or mandate in the first place, so what are we talking about?

Yes, Most of this physically challenged people don’t have job or source of income so how you come up on the idea of getting them involved on investment. C

It's called a physical disability, and despite what some might think there are a lot of persons with such actively working, not on apr with persons without but still pretty high:
Quote
at European Union (EU) level, only 50.6 % of persons with disabilities are employed, compared to 74.8 % of persons without disabilities.

Bitcoin and crypto for that matter is open to all regardless of status, sex, nationality and people who are physically challenged can still participate with the industry and of course that depends a lot on the person if he/she can be interested with the benefits and also possible stress related to getting involved with crypto. I am sure that we know that while crypto is open to all not all people can be suited to crypto for various reasons...the decision really is on the hands of an individual.

bitcoin exempts no one..

the only issue is the persons access to a PC/device.
if they can use a PC there there is no issues. because their PC/device has " accessibility options" like text to speech or speech to text. or brail nippled keyboards, or other tools..these allows them to know/see/hear what is happening on their pc..
the rest is childsplay for them

So crypto education is good. But if someone is struggling financially, it makes no sense for them to invest into crypto because of the volatility. It will make them financially vulnerable.

They can do jobs that pay in Bitcoin.  Financially challenged people do not need to invest in crypto with their money.  They can find jobs that fit them online and get paid with cryptocurrency.  It is there where crypto education comes in.

Physically challenged people, I believe are not exempted from Bitcoin.  There are apps and programs develop for visually impaired people.  Deaf and Mute shouldn't have a problem dealing with Bitcoin transactions.  

Bitcoin embraces everyone who is willing to pay or work to have it, and being physically challenged should not be a barrier to participating in the cryptocurrency industry.

not all of them are jobless, some have the good ability to work and are doing it good, the fact here is that they have access to financial means also and here we are considering how they can make an effective use of their finances for an investment in bitcoin, some of them not working quite alright receives donations from people, in this way we can't expect them to hundred percent be dependent on what to receive from people, what if that cease to come in, what if the economy went bad and people finds it difficult to gibe them, or what if they also aspire to build a house, buy car and live to do well in live just from the little earnings they save up from their job for the sake of those working.

We can see how inflation is affecting many aspects in businesses and governments as well, do you think they have no equal right as you do to enjoy life, investment with bitcoin, just as you make use of bitcoin with a better preference against fiat, shouldn't they have the same right to benefit from bitcoin and invest on it even from their little financial earnings?.

What do you mean by exemption?

shouldn't we consider them having the same equal right to enjoy the benefit use of bitcoin?.

We have good content in English about Bitcoin, this content is growing and developing so it can easily be translated to all other languages or even sign language, or used to help the deaf, there are many tools available to convert text, speech or video in English into the languages that Understood by people with special needs.

Therefore, disability is not supposed to be a cause, but most activities are related to the return on investment, and because this category is small in the investment world, it is therefore ignored.
Community adoption is the best solution at the moment.

Yes, Most of this physically challenged people don’t have job or source of income so how you come up on the idea of getting them involved on investment. Crypto investment is stressful and they don’t deserve that kind of life. I know that your intention is to help them but most them usually don’t care and just being swayed by sweet words of return that’s why they become interested.

Even normal that invest Bitcoin sometimes turn there life miserable so what’s more for these people that needs special care?

I'm one of those physically challenged and don't have a stable source of income. But that doesn't mean we will only be interested in cryptocurrencies just because of its increasing value over the years. As for myself, I'm into crypto because of its huge innovation in financial system. People like me find it difficult to have our own bank account because they need many requirements like proof of income etc. so bitcoin was a great help to save some money on my own when it's possible for me to earn sometimes from freelancing.

Blind people can use one of many screen readers which already exist for computers, to read the interface of wallets.

And cryptocurrencies do not require audio, so deaf people can use crypto normally.

What do you mean by exemption?

Bitcoin is a truly global currency which can be used by anyone with the help of the right tool. I don't think any company has yet taken an initiative to include bitcoin or crypto wallet into a closely guided voice or braille system so thay physically challenged people can use it. The market size of cryptos is very limited.

So crypto education is good. But if someone is struggling financially, it makes no sense for them to invest into crypto because of the volatility. It will make them financially vulnerable.

I consider how bitcoin adoption is ever increasing each day despite bitcoin running dip in price, many people have seen and taken the good advantage in using the digital currency for many reasons that best suit their needs, now i consider this set of physically challenged people (blind, deaf and dumb) who may also want to make good opportunity out of it for an adoption, as we all know they would have heard about bitcoin but not knowing how to go about it, should we consider them in participating from this great benefits in bitcoin or assume an exemption for them.

Why do i need to raise this is because i have centers allocated for these set of people from my location here and i see it a good advantage for them to as well participate in using bitcoin but to be sincere i lack the first move to helping this challenged people out and i see bitcoin as a currency that shouldn't have a barrier of usage just as the fiat is.

I will like to hear from our suggestions, various ways we can use to aid these set of people (blind, deaf, dumb) to know about bitcoin, and if there are instructional materials or steps that could help facilitate their awareness to bitcoin, its uses and application.
