One of my hopes is that cryptocurrency will help enable direct charity. For example, if you've been in a flood, earthquake etc and the media have come to report, you simply hold up a QR code on your phone and anyone watching could scan your code and donate to you directly. We're not there yet, but hopefully...

The UN has been having success with a program to help Syrian refugees using blockchain: https://qz.com/1118743/world-food-programmes-ethereum-based-blockchain-for-syrian-refugees-in-jordan/

As time goes by, it's fairly safe to say that blockchain should help make the charity industry more efficient and donations more direct and effective.

Thanks for raising this!
