If it means bitcoin can help poor countries become rich someday, then it cant. But if the question is "can bitcoin make people's life in poor countries become easier?", the answer is yes. I think thats one of the purposes why bitcoin is created.
No, bitcoin has all the potential to help both country and its people. It may help a country by re-infrastructure its financial system, like what was prescribed to Greece when it had faced economical crisis last year.
Similarly bitcoin might help a country's people, to earn better by providing them some proper opportunities up to their knowledge and feasibility.
