Some people have been introduced to opportunities like investing in bitcoins that they failed to pursue hence their poverty. Some people also lack the very much needed ability to be proactive and take action quickly so they remain poor, some have become too comfortable with their situation that they do not think or plan for more, so they are poor. There are those who indiscipline has kept them poor, there are those who are still slaves to poverty mentality, so they are still poor.
Which other reason do you think has kept people poor aside the economy and the government?
Some people you see being poor is not because they don’t have means to eat or meet up some of their needs, but because there is no money to do what you are saying, business and other investments. They wish they could also put their money there, but they only have money for food, and they cannot diversify the money to investment; even if they do, they will later withdraw the money to eat food in a loss or maybe without any profit.
Nobody wants to be poor, so you can’t blame anyone for being poor. However, I will say sometimes governments are one of the factors why people become poor. When you talk about the economy, who are the ones controlling the economy of a country? It is the government, so it is still the same thing. If the government of a country makes sure the economy favor the citizens, there will not be much poverty in that society or country.
