I don't see how bitcoin is helping people in Africa getting food or avoiding wars.
Exactly, these people are just assuming things that Bitcoin could do a lot of things, they have so high expectations that even world poverty can be resolved. Its true that it can be resolve a mans economic status but a whole country or even the world's poverty, I do not think so. Bitcoin is just a mere currency that has a great impact to investors right now, but now much for the economy so I do not see how it can solve such a phenomenal outbreak.
