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.
I understand what you are saying, and I somehow feel your pain.
In developing countries bitcoin is much more needed than in developed countries. I am from Brazil and I can say that bitcoin made things way easier here , specially for those who want to send their money abroad (in investment or just traveling)
In Nigeria bitcoin is probably way more important
I would say it is practically the same. Aside from the normal Bitcoin investment which is no longer an argument that Nigerians are well involved in, I also believe they will be using this for money transfers as well even though there is no good record of that but we do know it happens. I would definitely agree that Bitcoin has made a great deal of positive impact on the lives of many.
