People need to realize that bitcoin will not fix a whole country by itself. The citizens need to have that initiative to buy and hold/trade bitcoin for the betterment of their lives. The government needs to be pro-bitcoin so it can actually help a country get better economically speaking.

But if you want to take advantage of the difference between usd and say any fiat money from any country, then that would be a totally different story.

Hmmmm.. you are right that Bitcoin can not fix country economic problems on its own. People need to take action and use Bitcoin to improve their financial situation. Government also needs to support Bitcoin to help country economy grow. But if someone wants to make money by exchanging USD for other currencies that is different approach. Overall Bitcoin can help country economy if people use it and government allows it to grow but it ca not do it alone.

To be honest, I still haven't figured out how bitcoin will help the country's economy develop even if the government supports it and urges people to use it. Basically to own bitcoin, people need to have money, which means the government needs to create jobs, more jobs and motivate people to work together to create money. From there, everyone's lives will improve and will boost the domestic economy. Meanwhile bitcoin is just a currency or even just an investment asset like gold. Bitcoin doesn't create jobs, can't help attract foreign investment and build domestic businesses...so I don't think if the government supports bitcoin they can improve their economy.

You are completely correct. The government must develop job possibilities before the poor may purchase bitcoin and invest in it; you must have a source of income before you can enjoy bitcoin investment. Because if a country doesn't have money, I don't see how bitcoin will help the poor in the country. Bitcoin is a good investment that anyone who gets the opportunity and invests in it will reap huge benefits if they are patient and true to it. The government should do something to bring income to the poor so that they can do the necessary things. All impoverished people don't have time to invest since they don't have enough to eat. So if the government creates job possibilities for the poor, some of them will try to invest to support their jobs. But, for the time being, even if the government didn't cooperates, I do not see how Bitcoin will benefit the poor you must first obtain funds before investing in Bitcoin.
