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.

The poor are the vulnerable set of people in the society but feeding them with crypto currency is what I really do not understand because, how does it work? But there is a way to it in which I think its already in place there should be some form of empowerment for the able poor ones as they can then come back and help the society rather than just feeding them and waiting for them to come for more without any form of empowerment.

Well first we need to fill their belly.

The guys above have said that poor people need jobs. Well yes, but working while starving is not fun. So they need to be fed first before they can work.

You can't just get a homeless guy out of the dumpster and put him into an office to work. First he needs food, clean clothes, etc....

These kinds of things can all be provided by some king of blockchain based welfare distribution sytem.
