sounds like your a conspiracy nut. that has had 2 minutes investigating it.. then taking some drugs before writing your post.
i feel that you dont understand bitcoin and are looking for freebies so one day you can become a billionaire. and your angry because your not getting free handouts.
so.. please. learn what bitcoin really is and then start earning some. its not just about mining. i can think of 200,000 ways people are earning bitcoin without ever mining.
as for your question about does bitcoin help the poor.. well yes
here is a video of one

http://www.seansoutpost.com/Generally insulting, although an interesting response. As a zero hour philanthropist actually being a billionaire goes against the grain of what philanthropy is about (if you had read the post, understood, and digested what I said you would have understood that) - if you have more than you need to live and achieve your daily aims and goals then you are not a philanthropist, for example;
A corporation boasting profits and a bank account of $billions while 18,000 children die every day from disease and poverty and then deciding after 30 years of profit to start doing something good with 1% is not an example of philanthropy, in fact if you compare for example the deaths casued by Adolf Hitler/WW2 and compare deaths per year each year (around 6 million) as a result of poverty you will start to realise that the economy is the problem and not the unit of transaction.
People hoard because they fear giving money away will make them lose power or infuence, this is the same reason countries in part go to war, they fear losing power and influence, particularly financial with regard to someone else having more resources and therefore more power and influence. This is in direct contrast to how humans are supposed to live.
So as for handouts you couldn't be further from the truth, I am trying to establish that Bitcoin itself is not a sleight of hand or a black flag event masqueraded as being something positive. At the moment there is zero evidence to suggest otherwise. Even with the premise that it was created with good in mind, notice the early adopters have thus been rounded up (such as a sting or a honeypot event) with continued issues with propogators.
I am also trying to establish any evidence that given Bitcoiners failing to distribute Bitcoin in abundance (and therefore participating in a pyramid scheme and not in general consensus) how the Bitcoin economy can sustain any level of growth, particularly as banks and financial institutions are moving to private (and currently non-compatible) solutions thus limiting the financial growth of Bitcoin.
Seems anyone that questions logically the underpinnings of anything is a conspiracy nut (yet thanks to "conspiracy nuts" there is plenty of information regarding events, practices, of which much is illegal throughout the world today), I am sure that Julian Assange would be delighted that people like him who question immoral society and find answers are conspiracy nuts, but denial and chants of drugs or being mental is the normal practice for someone trying to hide the truth, and the first step in the denial of truth process.
Do we have an accurate rich list for Bitcoin at the moment?
