I love the idea of kicking out poverty. But the whole reason in poverty is because spend more than they can hodl. Giving a spendable thing to people that are in a hole, isnt a solution to poverty, unless we plan on locking the funds up on their behalf via some smart system protocols allowing the funds to become what they will be worth. The solution.
When you said giving a spendable thing to people that are in a hole, I understood it to be teach people how to fish and not to give them fish (I might be wrong or correct though). But that should be the way to financial success for the world, getting people to be aware, build their interest and teaching them about bitcoin is important.
