Bitcoin is the answer to the problem of financial inclusion for the world’s poorest members of society including access to technological innovations. If the advent of mobile computing devices taught the world anything, it is that countries can leapfrog over other steps on the path to industrialization previously followed by the top GDP producing states and operate on an even keel, or level playing field, previously denied to them through unfair practices propagated by so-called “international development agencies” and “non governmental organizations.” Most people nowadays own the latest mobile smart phones and transact fully in the global marketplace, sometimes even unbeknownst to themselves. Such is the power of these technological marvels in the world. To assume that this trend will somehow stop and reverse with the introduction of digital money is a false argument and can only be thought of as “Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt.” In other words, FUD. Once Bitcoin is mainstream, the world population will be bootstrapped to a hard money standard, a monetary network that accumulates value exponentially over time. If this isn’t the very definition of lifting people up and out of poverty, then you do not understand Bitcoin. Enjoy the ride.
