Bitcoin is not a magic wand which will end world poverty. It simply doesn't have the power to end such a massive thing. Also bitcoin is not a payment system anymore. We have moved to a different goal long back, when the confirmation time increased and transaction fees hiked. These confirmation time and transaction fees is going to be increased again and again. So we will move from the initial goal further.
Bitcoin has now purely became an investment asset. IT can provide a huge return which any other conventional investment will never be able to offer ever. So I take bitcoin purely as an investment and a trading asset. I earn profit and keep it for the future.
I agree. As much as it has all the capacity and power to do that, given it's good marketability and high value, world poverty is such an over-bearing and big problem that can't be solved by any new and growing business trend even if it has all the potential in the world. I think it may play a big part in helping alleviate that problem, but I also think that there should be a convergence of so many factors that would work for that cause and cure world poverty.
