> Bitcoin allows people who are unbanked, especially in developing countries, to hold and transmit money across the world at practically zero cost. I'm from a developing country (Pakistan). The people you are referring to are the least likely candidates for using Bitcoin. To use Bitcoin you need to, at minimum, be able to read and write, and own a device with an internet connection. To actually use Bitcoin securely, you need to be a -lot- more technically proficient. The unbanked people are the least likely to fit this description. Also, I think its quite unethical to consider putting the unbanked people at risk of losing 40-70% of their money by putting it in a volatile currency like Bitcoin. |
