READ MORE:

Firstly, that that URL is no longer showing the right post and redirect to main page.
The new post URL should be this one : https://www.forbes.com/sites/steveforbes/2015/04/02/how-bitcoin-will-end-world-poverty/#20e756602a5a

I just wanna say that is bullshit. I do believe in bitcoin and I hold it. But that article telling us the hyperbolic and just like too ambitious.
"End World Poverty" are you kidding me? Cheesy

1. First word is "End". Sorry but I disagree he uses this word, except he uses "decrease", it's still make sense.
2. Second word is "World". Does he really knows how many human in the world and how many poor peoples in this world? Let he check world bank website for the latest poverty rates.

Let's make a silly data review :
- World bank data of poor peoples : 768,5 millions (2017) (source : http://blogs.worldbank.org/developmenttalk/2017-global-poverty-update-world-bank)
- World population by Oct 2017 : 7.6 billion (source : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_population)
- Take sample of bitcointalk members to represent world's citizen who involved in cryptoworld :
BCT members by 11 Dec 2017 : 1.397.486 (source : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats)

I just share those data, no need to calculate it or formulate it or whatever . . . Just see those data, and answer these question.

1. Are those poor peoples capable enough to understand how bitcoin works, how to earn it, how to get it?
2. If they are not capable for that, then WILL ALL BITCOIN HODLER makes something like charity to giving away their BTC to those poor? (how selfish they/ you are)

3. Can Bitcoin End World Poverty?

How can the world poverty charged to bitcoin. No more than just a joke. Cheesy
