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.
Some are thinking that this is not helping the society because it is a decentralized system, because majority of people keep on believing that taxes helps the economy to grow. But the fact that not of all have a job in the real world and then discovered bitcoin and become their source of income, this can be considered as a big help for the economy because the concern of economy is the society and if bitcoin is helping the jobless then it is ended a big help to economy.
