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.
Its true. Bitcoin, though it increases your source of income, it doesnt assure the end of poverty wherever you may be. Also, with the presence of inflation, it will surely be hard to bridge the gap easily. Bitcoin, I believe, is more of an asset for future use.
