No. Bitcoin was never intended to end poverty. I dislike articles as this one.
The powers that can end poverty, aren't doing so. That's the problem. Don't expect Satoshi to be the savior of this world.
absolutely true bitcoin will never end poverty,bitcoin was been running for several years but still i can see plenty of homeless people in my country.But i can say bitcoin will give us the opportunity to earn or we can get profit from it.
