Can Bitcoin or any other altcoin help poor countries?
how? what can be done?
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 completely agree with you, i just don't get it why do people keep saying that bitcoin can help poor country, cmon bitcoin is just like money or other currency it doesn't make any difference at all, moreover bitcoin is decentralized so for the poor country that will adopt it i think this is not a good idea since bitcoin is uncontrolled, the government can't taxed it for any transaction you've done, they can't earn benefit from it obviously, even though the government do mining they will need more resources and capital to earn profit for support their country, just my thought.
