On the question if bitcoin can reduce poverty. It is no longer a new thing. Bitcoin has done it and will continue to do it. But then, bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme. For you to benefit from bitcoin, you will have to do any of the following;

This is a very good reply. Bitcoin is often praised by maximalists to be a solution for everything - but Bitcoin is not a solution for everything.
Your post is a good start to see that Bitcoin's opportunity to reduce poverty is real - but also limited in reality. Other factors are much more important, like outlined in your post.
In addition, relying only on Bitcoin to reduce poverty can backfire:
Some people even might end up with a loss from Bitcoin for whatever reason, because at some point, Bitcoin might not have anymore these big cycles and losses can become much more frequent. For previous cycles, HODLing 4 years was enough to get into the profit zone, even when buying Bitcoin very overpriced (like December 2017).
This might change in the future as Bitcoin's cycles tend to have a lower all time high but during bear markets, prices can drop 80% or more. Bitcoin is gaining less % every year on average.
Bitcoin's Halving (and therefore the 4 year cycle) will lose importance over time as miner rewards are not a big deal very soon in the future and constant tx fees will create miner rewards.
If our hopes in Bitcoin are too high and we forget to improve anything else, we might end up very disappointed.
In a nutshell, bitcoin cannot turn a poor country to a rich one. It is the government that will create jobs and not bitcoin.
