One idea that I've been sitting on for a while is a crypto called HomelessCure(CURE).

Each CURE is backed by the cost of what it would take to get a Homeless individual back on their feet.

Not an announcement, just a meaningful idea that could help a ton of people.

You back things by assets, not by expenses.

It would cost a lot especially since a quarter of them end up being homeless again within a year or two. And homelessness often touches substane abuse so it's not just a case of giving them money to get back on their feet. All I'm trying to say is that tackling homelessness is much more difficult than it would seem at first. And of course connecting that to crypto is another level of difficulty.

Edit: so many typos

what about only giving them a safe place to be, and sleep ?
a place where they can come to, and know that they will not be abused

Sound idea but I'm not sure how this will sit with the crypto community. I mean let's be realistic, most people are only here in hopes of profit and they don't even donate to people who develop the tools for them to achieve said profit. And the fact that most (charity related) coins ended up being a scam in the past doesn't help either.

Again, it's not impossible and it is a noble idea but I'm quite skeptical.

Not your keys, not your coins!
