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.
Yes, of course bitcoin has no connection in the poverty. The poverty is in our hands. Why is it there a poverty? It is because of the people, ourselves, if we all know how to survive our lives in poverty then there is no peoples are poor now. If they are enough knowledge to find money or ways to earn money, then they are maybe become rich now. Knowledge is important, if all people have enough knowledge, they know how to earn bitcoin also.
