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.
Yes its true, there are unemployed people having a job because of bitcoins and some of them already change their lives because of earnings here and by using this blockchain technology it is now easy for us to pay bills and having online remittances.
