I think the Block chain does not in itself eradicate poverty, but creates a healthy and clean environment for honest human beings to enter the field and achieve social justice around the world. But we must not forget that just as bitcoin can eradicate poverty, it can cause chaos in the world if left unchecked, so governments better deal with it peacefully and avoid fighting the Block chain revolution.
Blockchain does not have that mission.
The poor are poor because they are poor in their thoughts. Many of them don't want to change their thoughts and accept what they have so they are poor till the end. I feel sad when I see stories, photos about the poor. They need help but if they don't want to change, help is never enough.
The rich are rich from their thoughts and there are self made billionaires who begin with poor, improve themselves and change their lives. Education is key to change our lives.
The Internet give a freedom to learn for us. Many of the poor use the Internet for entertainment, for non sense things. They will be the poor forever.
