Actually people from third world country don't have opportunity to buy bitcoin easily from any of the bitcoin trading platform like coinbase. Coinbase still don't support many developing countries also in localbitcoins usually deals for this countries are really expensive to buy from using local bank transfer.
However in european countries and china anyone can buy bitcoin or sell it quickly for profit or just buy and hold for long term with peace in mind. This have created a sense of "bitcoin is actually only made for developed countries, Tier-1 countries".

Have you tried other online methods? I've used Reddit to buy bitcoins directly at 90% price, which is better than anything that I can find for Paypal on localbitcoin or coinbase. You can also buy an Amazon giftcard from a third party source with bitcoin and sell that for bitcoin.
