Agree.  Bitcoin isn't going to be curing poverty, war, or any other thing and I wish people would stop asking this question, because it's stupid.  How is a form of money going to do any of that? 

And yet ever since I've been a member of this forum I've seen threads like this one and many posts in which members argue that bitcoin is going to revolutionize third world countries and overall change the world.  If any tool for doing those things could ever be created I would *think* that it wouldn't take over 10 years for it to kick in, would you?
