I don't see proof anyone has been helped. The article points out that Venezuelan Bitcoin users rose to 85,000 users in 2016 and that a travel agency in Venezuela only accepts Bitcoin. The article also says Bitcoin is useful for buying stuff from online retailers. I believe the larger systematic problem with corrupt and non functioning economic instruments is not their corruptability but rather the structures that promote and rely upon on corruption which Bitcoin doesn't appear to resolve.
