Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are often talked about as potential tools to help poor countries in various ways, but they also come with challenges and risks that need to be considered. Bitcoin can provide access to financial services for people without bank accounts. With just a phone and an internet connection, folks can make transactions, send money, and store value. In countries with high inflation and economic instability, Bitcoin can serve as an alternative for storing value since it's not controlled by the government. However, the value of Bitcoin is very volatile. This can be a risk for individuals who rely on Bitcoin as a store of value, especially in poor countries that are vulnerable to economic crises. There's a need for education on how to use cryptocurrency safely and effectively, which may not be available in many communities.
