Poverty is a social problem and I don't think Bitcoin can play a direct role in alleviating the problems of those who are poor in our society
Guy you are right, Bitcoin can not play a direct role to remove poverty in a country. People need to own Bitcoin before they can make profit when the price starts to rise and to own Bitcoin, you need to buy it or work online to earn it and if there is no knowledge about working online to earn Bitcoin, the primary way to get it is through buying and if a person is poor, how can they buy Bitcoin? If someone is poor, they need money to buy other important needs and not to buy Bitcoin.
