I think Bitcoin is helpful to the economy because it helps the people, may they be employed or unemployed. It helps the people to be productive especially on their vacant times or when they are not working. Bitcoin is getting a lot if attention in many countriesnow because it really helps the people.
Cryptocurrency has a big role on the community, it helps different people in their life to get out of poverty and if government will only legalize bitcoins then there is no doubt that the community will live a wealthy life.
