Cryptocurrency to feed the poor?

[toomanygoldy2]

It was already done indirectly via bitcoin in a form of donations to create wells and food supply in Africa. I heard that from the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Joe himself donated some bitcoin.

The point is finishing with poverty, which is impossible. They are just  giving them some food that will last a short time, then what happens? They are back to the same place.

I think that the idea is good generally but practically it will be very hard, I agree with the members who said that poverty will never end, because there are many projects and associations  which exciting from sentries who feed the poor people around the world ,but the poverty still existing

The ideal solution is to provide everyone with jobs, so that they can earn money themselves. But the problem is that not all of them want to work. They want to survive on the handouts. So this problem will exist forever.

poverty and hunger is also rampant in our country.
but base on what i've seen in the past simply feeding those who need doesn't really solve the problem.
instead of simply feeding them and making them dependent on what you have, i think its better to teach them become a better person...
.
this is my view..
tnx for reading it...

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.

"Feeding" them would't help them at all. Have you geard the saying "Give a Man a Fish, and You Feed Him for a Day. Teach a Man To Fish, and You Feed Him for a Lifetime". That's what they need -  JOB. Even if we feed them for decades they will stay poor. Livelhood projects or building bsuiness establishments is what is needed to create more jobs to help them support their lives.

Yes of course there are multiple ways to get people out of poverty but mostly I mean that there are kids there too who are starving, and they can't work , nor their parents if they are starving.

But also you have elderly who dont have money for food, so they need cheap or free food. So I think this idea could help many people.

Of course for average people more jobs would be nice too.

to achieve millionaires goals which set ruled  by UN missions and other UN agencies like world food program to Zero hunger project we have to contact those mission to organize or full adoption of these kind of project .

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.

Among the poor, have many dependents. They don't want to work. They used to live at the expense of grants from the government and charity from people. These will not work even if they are to provide conditions for work as the Minister. This will be the filter for those who want to work but cannot realize itself and those who do not feed at all.

It would help the ones you feed right there and then particularly in a famine type situation, in the long run proper education and a good judiciary system would create a more stable society.

Sooner or later it can happen actually. Crypto world will generate different type of projects in ICO and we will definitely face many other opportunities to use cryptocurrency as a donation & social care for those who are in need.

Check out Biblepay in the ann section. That guy is donating his time and launched a charity coin. With it he sponsors orphans. I guess you can say that is feeding the poor.

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.

Some of these current ICO's is being done in poor countries and benefit the local population there.

Yeah i think some are already in the works. Crypto, though independent and decentralized, can have a big effect in helping out the poor. Not in the sense of ending poverty entirely but helping out little by little which for the moment is already a big contribution

[djimbim0]

Crypto currency can be used as a charity for the poor, but it will not stop poverty, because the food will eventually end soon and money will be needed to buy new products or other necessary things.

I think everybody wants to work, not everybody can work due to disabilities.

[Arahara0230]

Yes it will help them by donations but it will only make them dependant. The government must help them to get job for them to make their own money so that we can teach them to not depend on donations

[dedesato]

Talking about impact on our society, I have found that there is a very interesting new project, it is an unconditional basic income project called Swift Demand, every single day you receive 100 coins, without any questions or conditions. With altruistic motivations I would like to invite people to join this platform, maybe the coins here have some real value someday and we all get basic income through blockchain: https://www.swiftdemand.com/users/sign_up?referred_by_name=x777

Crypto currency is the same currency as usual. It can be allowed to charity for the poor, but after a while it will end and the poor will again need money for the necessary things.
