Surely bitcoin is neutral with respect to poverty and inequality, not redistributive nor charitable ?.  As with $, holders of bitcoin might choose to be philanthropic with it, but so far usually have not.

With bitcoin being as inedible as money, it certainly won't directly feed the unfed.

Where I see it helping though, is from the prohibitions in blockchain of certain corrupt institutions spending all the money in the world and then awarding themselves some more to spend.  If and only if bitcoin becomes the preferred pricing means for crude oil, soya beans, wheat, and the majority of third world export commodities, to the extent that a stable bitcoin price exists for those, then the exporting hardworking countries will be protected from the flood of unjustified bailout money which presently supports corruption and impoverishment in the commodity producing countries and enrichment of unproductive managers above them.

Stamping out corruption and unearned richness is not quite the same as ending poverty, but surely a step in the fair direction ?
