For me no... because bitcoin is simply just a currency unlike other real currency like dollars... have you seen dollars end world poverty.. No... But bitcoin does offer good ROI if you buy it and sell high
The world is big and I doubt too that bitcoin will end poverty. Only few people will benefit on fighting poverty with bitcoin. But once the government started to educate people about bitcoin, I guess this will help their citizens to have a better way to fight poverty and just spread the word all around the world.
