You seem to be getting over excited about your own ideas about what is poor, Justbillywitt. Of course, there is not just one level of poor, and some of us might be defining poor in different ways, and if we are defining poverty in different ways, then we might be arguing about semantics rather than figuring out thresholds in which it might be advisable or acceptable to invest into bitcoin versus not doing so.
You are correct that a person who cannot pay all of his expenses will not be able invest in bitcoin, since there is a need to have money beyond expenses and to be able to keep the money in bitcoin for 4-10 years or longer - otherwise with a shorter timeline, they would be trading/gambling with their money rather than investing... so not only does any person need to have discretionary income to be able to invest in bitcoin, they also need to be able to commit to keeping that discretionary income in bitcoin for 4-10 years or longer.
We likely realize that even poor people gamble with their money, so we cannot stop people from choosing to gamble with their money..
I am not going to try to proclaim to know all of the various levels of poverty, yet we know that there can be quite a bit of variance both in the terms of destitute that any person might have and the level of destitute will vary over time.. .so a person that is destitute may well have periods in which he has extra money that he could invest into bitcoin, yet it may well be unwise to invest, since he might not have any kind of confidence in regards to being able to continue to get income at various points into the future.
What I can say here is that. Poverty does not have a fixed state it can be fluid. Someone might feel poor because of high expenses or instability in his finances but that doesn't mean they are entirely knocked out of opportunities. There might be times when they have a surplus and times when they are only entitled to a small amount for consistent investment. My deepest concern for those in difficult states is the challenge for often lack of predictability. Even if they have extra money with them temporarily, their circumstance might make it unwise for them to commit to long-term investment especially when their future income is unpredictable.
Does it mean this set of persons should not invest in Bitcoin?
To define poverty you should involve yourself in how they manage their daily expenses and they may not have the means to meet their needs. It may be really impossible for them to think about investing. How do you balance their finances and generally define it. You may not consider all those poor people in the investment circle. The people you think of as poor may be living a better life than you and have a house and are normal with their children. Bitcoin is a great expression of relative thinking through which an investor can sow the foundation of his successful financial independence and expect to reap sweet rewards in the long term.
Still, many poor people can try to get Bitcoin if they can take up the challenge and set aside some of their limited income and do Bitcoin DCA. I can assume that the number of such people per capita may be much higher or they are able to make the best effort to deposit Bitcoin in their wallets. I have another expected recommendation for all those long-term Bitcoin depositors and among them there are holders that you may not have imagined. Besides, there are many bitcoiners out there who are continuing to hold their bitcoins with their discretionary money holding them fairly at the end of the cycle and they are inspired by bitcoin and tempted to continue depositing more.
