but it sure does contribute it's own fair share of financial freedom and makes the rich richer and the poor,rich

I don't agree with you on this. Even if I'm rich,have money but I don't believe in the technology then it's still useless and when it comes to the poor that you are referring from, they don't have any interest in investing into crypto for they prefer to use their money to meet their basic needs.

This technology is built as an alternative to a corrupt centralized system of currency that we currently have not as an investment vehicle.

Frankly speaking, the only people who can benefit to this technology are those people who has the knowledge and willing to take risks whether you're rich or poor.

Correct, if we're referring to poor people in 3rd world countries who barely meet their daily needs, how could they have the knowledge to access bitcoin or even afford to buy bitcoin? if they don't have smartphones, personal computer or mac? Depends on our perspective on "poor" obviously. But here the definition from oxforddictionaries:
Poor = Lacking sufficient money to live at a standard considered comfortable or normal in a society. ex: they were too poor to afford a telephone.
Except for middle and upper-class society who have access to all the resource or adequate to get bitcoin whether in 3rd world countries or developing countries.
But for now, we can say developed countries such as US, UK, Europe, Japan, South Korea leading the market and have the most trading volume that the bitcoin has had more of an impact, they can easily access the market, have the resources, wealth and knowledge more than 2 other groups.
