Why has nobody created yet a cryptocurrency that will be used to feed the poor? Raising capital now seems more easy than ever. You have ICO after ICO, yet everyone is thinking about making money, but nobody is thinking about helping the needy and creating a chairity.
I think some devs should just get together and create a cryptocurrency that will be used to feed the poor, as in:
- Either direct money donation, based on ID (kind of hard to do since a lot of abuse could happen if people claim twice, so it must be made sure that people can only claim once)
- Some kind of food distribution system (I have seen this in many countries), where you work together with supermarkets, that have food which is not expired yet, but close to expiration, to be sent to nearby homeless shelters or needy families. Or a charity center setup in a town where free food is sent to feed the poor. (I think at least food and water should be free in the 21 century). So you can put all the available food on a blockchain, and poor people could claim it afterwards.
- Clothing,education, basically if anyone has some clothes or educational tools like books or notebooks that he doesnt need he can just put that up to the blockchain, and send it to a poor family.
Wake up guys, this is all possible in the 21 century with the wonderful technology of cryptocurrency. So I think people should do more chairity work too, and not just chase profits all day.
It's very nice idea but very difficult to do it practically.
Who will organize it?
Someone have first to earn crypto currency and than give away?
Someone have to organize food distribution in Africa education etc.
Who will do it?
Main problem in Africa is not poverty but corruption.
Because of it, many projects from UN, world governments and world organizations failed.
Other big problems in Africa are political instability, conflicts, wars, lack of democratic tradition, tribal system...
Please, trust me, you can't solve all this problems only with money or help from outside people, no way.
