The world economic challenge is getting worse as the day counts, and I'm still thinking if their were to be no bitcoin how would people cope with all the challenges in this modern world. Bitcoin has really come through for people of this days in different way and in different countries.
In some countries where they have serious unemployment challenges many people have engaged in bitcoin to invest and into other aspects of bitcoin, just imagine if their were no bitcoin how will the common man invest the little he or she has. If there were no bitcoin I know their are investment people can go for but it will be something that the rich and middle class can afford to invest. In bitcoin the rich, poor and middle class can go into it, this is to say bitcoin is for every body.
With the recent challenge in Nigeria where the resigni of their currency has caused scarcity of flow of cash which is really affecting the citizens, I know bitcoin will also make a good contribution in this case because lots of young people in the country are engage to bitcoin.
In different occasions of economic crisis in the world bitcoin has always been there to play a good role. Thanks to bitcoin for it existence in this difficult time of life.
I agree with you that, thanks to the existence of bitcoin, many people with little capital have had the opportunity to invest and the opportunity to catch up with other rich people. If there is no bitcoin, but only gold or real estate, the opportunities for those with little capital are almost nonexistent.
But I wonder how unemployed people will invest in bitcoin when they are unemployed and have no money. Bitcoin does not help much in this case, Bitcoin is not free, if you want to invest you need money.
