No since World hunger is an issue that predates Bitcoin
Rather Bitcoin may be the solution to world hunger by creating a usable payments system in a country rife in civil war
With difficulties for poor people to store money and use traditional banking as in their accounts are eaten by fees
Simple low cost solutions that can be used on mobile phones to make micro transactions possible is most certainly a solution to world hunger and one of the potential benefits of Bitcoin and its related technologies.

There is no real reason to believe that Greer's theory necessarily represents an accurate picture of how technological civilization works. It hypothesizes modes of social organization that have never even existed, and has a very dubious view of "scarcity" as some kind of objectively fixed property of resources. The divisions into stages of progress are wildly arbitrary, as though discovering more efficient utilization of resources is not always happening to some degree or other. My personal impression of these kind of theories is that they're just repackaging the same tired Malthusian bullshit story into more and more sophisticated presentations.
I find that hard to believe. In any case there is a lot more starvation in our future. Every hour of the day there are more people than the hour before. I hope we don't overshoot K in my lifetime.
I got some bad news. We overshot K long before you were born. Earth's true carrying capacity is approx. 2 billion human beings. We are in a population bubble supported solely by the temporary use of fossil fuels, of which we are running out.

In case you missed it:
Waste is the reason for world hunger. The waste of greed; the waste of capitalism.
That is absurd. World hunger has existed long before Bitcoin was introduced. It's really a problem with human nature - outside your small group of friends/family no one cares about anyone else. Hence why the need to help others?
yes pizzza too expensive
Do you realize the resources that go into making the millions of pizzas each and every day?
Abolish Pizza: Save the Planet.
The resources used for global food production/transportation must be immense.
Ban food production, so we can solve global hunger!

If we stop all the corruption we will end the world hunger 10 times
Not real in any chance.

people will find the reason to spend their money for any use before they donate it for a cause like world hunger

Is bitcoin the real reason for the internet?
Only women's empowerment via education, power to choose and access to birth control can end World hunger.
Actually having access to "banking" via Bitcoin could make a huge difference in empowering women.

Thanks to what some people have said, I'm starting a Stamp Out Termites Today (SOTT) foundation due to the tons of methane them worthless critters release into the atmosphere every second. Gotta save the planet!
Granted, I don't want to kill 'em all, leaving enough so that they can be put on some endangered species list, then corralled to keep a watchful on eye on them, say near Mesquite, NV, where some tortoises roam.

Don't think I've read such old flannel in my whole life.
Central banking has caused more world hunger than any Bitcoin mining electricity bill could ever dream of doing.
