I think bitcoin can reducing poverty in the world if bitcoin system applied in monetary system. Fixed supply money and transparancy in ledger will reducing inflation and reducing corruption. I am believe source of poverty is corruption
I really do not think bitcoin itself can just help reduce poverty in the world, and even if it helps some people out economically, it is just going to be the few that are early adopters in terms of the value increase in the long run and that is if they are still holding till then.
Bitcoin is not just going to perform some magic and simply just make everyone rich, and considering that as we keep approaching mass adoption, the more stable and matured the market gets, so at the end, it will all still be limited to those who are able to tap pretty fast into the future.
