Poverty can be eradicated, no doubts about that. Firstly, to deal with poverty, it must be tackled from the psychological aspect. Poverty is a state of mind. What may seem poor to someone, may seem riches to another. We should learn to set realistic goals within our limits and learn to be content with what our efforts bring us.
On the other hand, poverty can be handled with the Blockchain technology. Most people are poor because of slowed business progress. Integrating Blockchain into a business brings an added sense of value to the business in the field of the payment systems. Once there is transparency and effective payment system (Blockchain offers this), there is likely going to be an increase in work productivity and increase in profit making margin.
