What does the OP mean to be able to improve their economy financially when someone already knows bitcoin and invests in it? But if it is to alleviate poverty then it is the government not bitcoin.
I agree, it is the government that should be responsible in minimizing poverty in a nation. Bitcoin is a technology and currency and has no say on the poverty of a country, it is just a tool to be used by the government if they wanted to, to alleviate their country's poverty by taking advantage of the trend of Bitcoin through adoption and approving Bitcoin start-ups that then give job opportunity to its citizen.
Bitcoin has grown rapidly and now almost the whole world has recognized it (not that it's always public) but we already know how the benefits and how bitcoin works and with the technology that is owned, it would be very natural if more people would use bitcoin as their investment asset to get a high ROI over a long period of time.
Indeed Bitcoin adoption is the key for these Bitcoin investors to get a high ROI but the waiting time will be shorten if the government fully adopt Bitcoin since people who are hesitating will then fully engaged in Bitcoin investment since the government had acknowledge Bitcoin as a legal thing.
