As genius, And as clear a solution to many modern problems, You can bet the end result on the lowest percentile of users. 60% of the world lives on 5$ a day, Of that 20% live on 1.50$ and what they can domestically produce. Somewhere in Sub-Saharan Africa, A 67 year old grandmother will grow a crop of tomatoes to trade for 40kg of rice and a couple chickens. Her primary income is sustained by her physical efforts, Not her digital value. There is a tipping point where the 60% adopt bitcoin instead of a bank account. Sadly the most influential people in the Bitcoin community are more concerned with spam blocks and MEV, Than helping the poor. The most direct impact Bitcoin can have on global poverty would be to bitcoinize the coltan trade. In Kolwesii, DRC, Children, Like 12 year olds, Work for this 1.50$ a day. The average lifespan is 35 for males, And people typically have families of up to 8 because so many people die young there. No coltan, No bitcoin hashrate progression, No mining industry. Fuck your Tesla, End generational poverty in the DRC first. Fuck your spam block, End generational poverty. Fuck your code bro. Change the world.

It's true yet hard to solve. The volatility is too much for those who can't afford a 10% drop. They'd rather hold stable sats or the stable coin. Organic adoption won't happen soon but there is plenty of room for philanthropy software
