I have always come across people giving stories to promote bitcoin or give awareness of bitcoin in rural areas. It is a very nice job to tell people about bitcoin because it is the major currency in the world. In this rural area how can bitcoin be used when majority of people in the the town are battling with poverty, and how can bitcoin be used when majority don't have access to Internet. I think people in rural area needs to be financially stable first before knowing bitcoin.
Bitcoin will give the financial stability so to eliminate the poverty you are talking about is to invest in bitcoin although, in this modern world, there is no typically or remote area that there is no internet service. The only thing you can say is that the internet in some rural areas are facing network issues. Which probably a slow network issue.
