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.
I agree with your opinion that access to internet is primary need & very important for massive adoption of Bitcoin because it provides access to infrastructure to hold and transfer crypts currencies but unfortunately internet access is not equally available to every citizen of the world, in many countries its access is limited.
People in many countries use community based internet service where it is difficult to afford mobile internet which can be used to
To promote adoption of Bitcoin, governments should should focus on economic growth because when overall economy improves in any country, its benefits trickle down & people get extra money to spend make some saving out of it to buy Bitcoin which is the best investment for long term.
