Poverty is a problem of the mindset, not money. Wherein one has the knowledge on how to invest the money to yield profit, then that person cannot be said to be of a poverty standard.
There is no doubt beyond this proof that what you said is reality about poverty it's not absence of money that make person poor but mindset example many has the resources , money but still poor due to inability to harness what they has from their mindset. No body can go out of poverty when your not highly articulating on investment that can move you out of that very condition.
BTC can improve the economic conditions of the nation and it's citizens if truly they harness the resources and invest wisely avoiding wasteful resources unprofitable area of life endeavors.
People with right thinking which or good mindset venture into investment and they changed their financial obstacle, just as those that started BTC it's their thinking and future clavoyant that make them what they are today, more for investment may not be huge for a start but may turn out mighty ocean at the end all lies in the hand of person with right thinking.
