I don't really know about the PIVX coin, but if the program reads the contents of this coin, it seems like this is very helpful for the community in improving the economy. and maybe now it's rare that a coin can really provide benefits to society.
I hear ya, that was the idea. I'm more of a reader vs a poster, but being in Crypto for 5ish years, I just noticed a lot of pump and dump schemes and coins being made for no real apparent purpose or "newness". They are just made to make the dev rich, I wanted to do something better. As a guy who ran a nonprofit for 20+ years, we always had a hard time finding money because we were so busy doing good work. The people drawn to NGO's aren't usually geared for business, marketing or finance. This makes a lot of big hearted poorly run groups and I would love to see this change. It would be awesome to make a coin that can be used and the process of using it funds them, masternodes to replenish their coffers.
As for PIVX, it doesn't need to be that coin fork, it was just a good fit at the time.
