Bitcoin will never free us from governments, or even help alleviate poverty anywhere.
Bitcoin will free us from government, so everything it's base on your perspective and assumptions, from my own theory of understanding cryptocurrency, i may said that Bitcoin specially have eradicated poverty since it's existence, if you have invested in cryptocurrency and and adventure into profit before, you will understand that Bitcoin is really elevation.
Indeed, I can see it to myself and I can see changes when it comes to financial capability. However, for those people who can't really afford to invest, Bitcoin had nothing to do with them. We really could think that Bitcoin gives some help to those who want and have the capital to invest but this becomes helpless to others who have nothing.
The existence gives some light but is not enough to solve poverty. As to whether we like it or not, rich people are benefiting much from this.
