Crypto in time of rescue.

[CryptSafe]

Today I decided to take a walk down the road side. Normally I don't take anything with me as I walk but today I decided to go out with my mobile phone. While taking a walk I admired the environment and surroundings as beautifully made and was full of joy and happiness. On getting to the other end of the Street, I noticed some group of boys ( assumed to be
in early teens age) walking pleading for help. So I stopped and called one of them inquiring to know what the matter was and he said that the others were his brothers and that they have not eaten anything yet today. I felt bad and I wondered what must have happened. Well I never bother asking them any question further because from the looks, things weren't alright with their parents.
I had no money on me to give them neither do I have any money on me to buy food for them there and then. I had to invite them with me to a friend  whom owns a supermarket at the other end of the Street. I introduced him into Crypto a longtime ago. We had to walk a little distant as well. When we got to his supermarket, I bought some snacks and drinks for them and they were all happy. They thanked me for coming to their rescue in time and I was wondering if I had not taken a walk what would have happened to them maybe God wanted me to rescue them that was why I went out and with my phone. After they had gone, I turned to my friend and explained him how it all happened I pleaded with him to accept Crypto in payment and he accepted for the kind gesture I showed to the kids. There and then I paid the bill in Crypto with my phone.

I was happy  to have rescued those innocent kids wondering about for help. Internally I had joy that filled me all through and secondly I was able to do that through Crypto payment.

I guess it varies per country, but don't they have Child Services for cases like this?

There should but what do you expect when there are corrupt leaders in power leading the affairs. Embezzlement, theft and money  laundry is the talk of the day in government. You just have no voice saying anything to them otherwise what you see is what you get. It's a mind your business affairs.

Well i will partially applaud you here for a Weldone job because the aspect i thought you could take advantage of is in giving the boys orientation on how bitcoin can be a rescue to their present predicament, you only gave them fish and didn't teach them how to become a fisherman, they took your kind gesture as and advantage to advance in subsequent begging from other people because sooner they will still get hungry without an idea of the way out of hunger, letting them go without any impact is just a spoil on it all.

if you will go to to other route of helping them, it will take your time and dedication to really address their problem. and not many people are able to do that. some can see like a band-aid solution to the prob. but his efforts are already appreciated. but you are right, sooner or later, they will be soon hungry again and will be roaming around the streets. they need to find a better solution for this kind of prob. and if you will get involve with their situation, you will find the reason why they are in that kind of state. are you willing to go beyond that situation? that is for you to think about if you do really want to change their situation.

There will be always good things that happen at random times. Especially during tough times, even the market is bloody. There's no reason to stop learning about cryptocurrency, there's also no reason to share the good news in cryptocurrency like sharing your knowledge with other people.
To OP, I hope you also shared something good like the real use of cryptocurrency, not only the investment or money opportunity.

[Dave1]

I guess it varies per country, but don't they have Child Services for cases like this?

Maybe during that time you can't think about Child Services or something, maybe the OP's intention is to give help right away, perhaps he has a soft spot for kids and is a kind hearted person.

For sure in a 1st world country, you might not see this is streets. But in a place where in lived-in, this is typical. So it's either you are going to help or not. And it's good that your his friend accepted crypto for special cases like this.

The case happens to you and makes you aware of situations that are leading you to trust crypto more. I do not deny its importance in this case, but the issue you are raising is also great when you share your concern with those in need. As economic times become increasingly difficult, there will be more people becoming deprived of food and other necessities of life, and kindness is always appreciated. But anyway, next time I think you should carry a bit of cash with you so that everything is easily solved. The problem of accepting payments with crypto is not too common, so it is not too tight with the things you want that no one else has access to.

[pooya87]

For sure in a 1st world country, you might not see this is streets.

Actually 1st world countries are among those with the most number of people in absolute poverty, specially these days in Europe that the economy is falling apart. For example I was reading the Guardian a couple of weeks ago where it stated that in the first 4 months of this year more than a million British families became homeless and have been sleeping on the streets.

You're right mate, that might be his main intent but at the cause of all these, many opportunities could as well be well derived out of it, what if the friend wasn't a crypto enthusiast, wouldn't he take some steps in furtherance to invite him into the world of bitcoin? Or doesn't it comes a good advantage if those boys eventually got to know about bitcoin as well, which could be a lifetime transforming opportunity for them, the whole idea is good and welcome but it would have been more saucy if the more opportunities there were effectively utilized along side.

Well, it might have changed if his friend wasn't that a crypto enthusiasts, it will be a matter of providing a debt then pay it later on. I don't think that's necessary to delve into the world of Bitcoin to his friend or the boys, what they could think of the moment was just they can eat for a day or the supermarket friend was just thinking what he could profit for a day.

The best thing that has been done there was that crypto was used and it's on them if they asked the OP out of curiosity or not.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

I don't see what this story has to do with cryptocurrencies. The thread creator says he paid with cryptocurrencies in the same way he could have paid with a card or with cash which he says he didn't have at the time.

The sad part of the story is that these children will be hungry again the next day, and there won't always be someone willing to buy food for them, paying with crypto or whatever.

I guess it varies per country, but don't they have Child Services for cases like this?

It is a pity to read that corrupt governments lead to this.

If they want to accept a special case, it means each other's privacy, not this will conclude something new again when everything is not openly.
But I agree if they give help on their own initiative and it really helps them and the children there.

[Upgrade00]

I must confess, I initially thought it would be a post about you getting robbed off your phone which you normally don't go out with; Great it turned out to be an inspiring post about helping others out and also utilizing Bitcoin as a currency.

Actually 1st world countries are among those with the most number of people in absolute poverty, specially these days in Europe that the economy is falling apart. For example I was reading the Guardian a couple of weeks ago where it stated that in the first 4 months of this year more than a million British families became homeless and have been sleeping on the streets.

I agree that poverty is a thing in every part of the world, but it's an exaggeration to say 1st world countries are among the most number of people living in poverty.
The so called "third world countries" are actually characterized by extreme poverty and poor standard of living, significantly higher than in other regions. The current inflation and economic collapse is actually affecting every part of the world.

It is noble of you to have felt compassion and the desire to help towards another human being. I must confess, I grew cold towards this over the years haven't met several pan handlers and the many children they deploy at several round abouts in my city. It turned to be an everyday culture for them and some way of making earns means and I don't very much support the idea. In recent times, I started seeing them with penny packs or purse and I wonder whats going on?

Like, they completely give up on starting any form of minor trading and feel a lot comfortable prying on the masses compassion and feeding off them! The parents or guardians seats at a corner watching the kids they deploy along the road to interact with strangers in a bid to seek for aids and when you aid them in terms of money, they just collect, show appreciation and the next thing, they run down to their parent or guardian and hand it over. At times, should you choose to get them food, they would refuse and want money instead!

I don't adorn the practice and I don't think buying them food or handing them money everyday would be the best way to help these people!
Funny enough, these poor families seems to birth more children than an average rich man. I guess its out of spending more time with there partners as they've always got a lot of energy reserves, lol!

If they don't even have the ability to earn money to eat for one day, how are they supposed to invest into bitcoin. At the moment bitcoin is also in a bear market, do you really think those kids can wait for 2-3 years for the net bull market to potentially gain a few dollars at most?! Also to use bitcoin you would need a phone with a data connection that also does cost quiete a lot of money.

If we are talking about absolute poverty, then there is hardly more of it anywhere than in Africa, of course in some countries more than in others - but poverty is not something that does not exist in the developed countries of the Western world. Every month I see young people clashing over garbage containers, children going door to door looking for food, public appeals from parents seeking help for their sick children who have to receive expensive drugs or be treated abroad - and all this in a country that has been a proud member of the EU for almost 10 years.

A survey conducted in my country a few years ago on children attending primary school showed that as many as 30 000 children come to school without their parents being able to provide them with anything for breakfast. A law that would allow them to get at least one hot meal at school was rejected in the national parliament and would cost only 200 000 EUR a year...

That's true because in countries where there's abundance of food, jobs, housing, people become less cautious. I see this every day when I talk to my friends. Most of them have taken bank loans and now everything they earn each month goes to pay the bills and to cover the loan. They have no savings, no investments. In case something random happens like they get fired or have a child they'll be forced to start selling things they own.

Good job OP. You managed to help people in need and popularize bitcoin at the same time (at least I hope it was bitcoin because you said crypto).

A law that would allow them to get at least one hot meal at school was rejected in the national parliament and would cost only 200 000 EUR a year...

These people probably earn at least 50k a year themselves and vote against feeding children? How are they able to look in the mirror every day?

[hZti]

In case something random happens like they get fired or have a child they'll be forced to start selling things they own.

One problem of our age is also that everyone want to live in a big city, since they think they will earn so much more money if they go there. The problem is that they only see how much more money they would make, but not how much more the average cost of living also will be. So many people actually change their live to the worse by moving somewhere, wehre they don't own anything and have to start from new.

[Lucius]

Since they are children of communists who were raised to take from others and not to be sensitive to human suffering, it is not difficult for them to look anyone in the eye. At the same time, one day of EU membership costs us 1.5 million EUR, and that money has never been a problem.

I was happy  to have rescued those innocent kids wondering about for help. Internally I had joy that filled me all through and secondly I was able to do that through Crypto payment.

It is good to help anyone in need, but it is even better if they can be helped to have food on their table every day. Children should not walk the streets and cry because they are hungry, and I am sure there is someone who could help them, so your mission can have a sequel in that direction.

For example I was reading the Guardian a couple of weeks ago where it stated that in the first 4 months of this year more than a million British families became homeless and have been sleeping on the streets.

From a person like you I would expect that if he says such an outrageous thing, he should at least back it up with data.

No. It is false. There are not a million families who have become homeless in the UK recently. If we multiply by the family size of 2.4, that would give us more than 2.4 million people who have gone to sleep on the streets in the UK, which, apart from being false is an exaggeration that anyone who knows the UK at least minimally knows is false at first sight.

But if we google what we find is this:

Homelessness set to soar in England amid cost of living crisis

More than 66,000 more people will be homeless by 2024

Which is a simple prediction, from a newspaper whose ideology is interested in emphasizing these things, and far from at least 2.4 million people (1 million families per 2.4 people).

70,000 households in UK made homeless during pandemic

But for those of you who do not know much about the UK, I would like to inform you that there is a thing called benefits, which includes housing benefits:

Housing Benefit

So, the poor in the UK and in first world countries where there are benefits for low income levels, live much better than the poor in the third world.

There's a proverb that says "a hungry man is an angry man" talking about Bitcoin or Crypto isn't what should be the solution at that moment. The kids are hungry and I believe angry as well because they have not been able to feed. Talking about such to them would make no sense to them because all they care and would want to listen at that moment was to eat. Come to talk of it, the are kids that can't afford a mobile phone so how does it sounds to them when they aren't up to the age of adapting to what you are about to dish out to them. At that very moment those kids are not stable for such conversation because all the think at that moment is food so telling them such at the instance is more or less pouring water into a basket.
Lastly the essence I did this post was to show how Crypto met the point of need at the spot where I had nothing on me and the joy that it feels to have done such for the first time in the spot rendering assistance to those kids at that instance and paid in Crypto.

[FanEagle]

I cannot say much about the place of crypto in time of needs like this, but I know for a fact that helping out the less fortunate is a thing that not many wealthy people do, it is the feeling a person with empathy can do and that requires you to be a lot more friendly with people and understand what they need and care and feel for them.

Empathy is something that is not available in most rich people, if you see the bosses and CEOs of the companies, you will realize that they get paid so much money, and spend millions on defending the low minimum wages so they wouldn't have to pay people more than peanuts. When you help out people when you can, you are already a better human than all of them.

Also to use bitcoin you would need a phone with a data connection that also does cost quiete a lot of money.

One thing we will consider here is that we all believe there's a certain amount of money spent each day and there's a little portion as well spent on contingent also, we can not wait to have the financial bouyancy at large till when the money is much, this is a potential that makes people to maximize their ability in making small things into something big, this is the brain behind growth, little by little they can sum up little funds to become a financial savings to be used for an investment in bitcoin.

[The Cryptovator]

It's pleasure to hear you helped others, and glad to hear that you paid the bill with cryptocurrency. Although I don't have the chances to help with Bitcoin or cryptocurrency directly. But I helped this way by selling crypto. During flooding in my country, I helped with crypto. I can't send direct crypto due to restrictions. So sell through p2p and help them. So yea, we can use crypto for rescue if we intend to help others. This is a matter of mind.

[Kasabus]

Well, I mean the main idea of this post was to emphasize the ease of paying for foods and services in crypto in more easy way especially on mobile, am I right OP? This was a good deed and with the use of crypto was likely a good stuff too.

I also get the idea that OP wants to share. Like he was once become a good samaritan and thankful enough that he was able to buy them foods and drinks with the use of crypto. Luckily he has a friend who accepted crypto too. I guess OP wants to convey us that in times of emergency, crypto can also be very helpful to us even without bringing fiat on hand, but just only your mobile phone that stores your crypto.

Just like on what been said on earlier page that this do really vary on certain condition on particular country since not all people would able to do that because not all places do accept out crypto payment.
It is really just turns out to be that coincidence that his friend do really accept crypto payment which is really good call and helping out those people on buying them some food at least.
Yes, this one is totally a good deed yet you've find out alternative on how you would be helping them despite on having no fiat on your pocket and turns out that your crypto
did really make that good deed to be done.Its much appreciable on what OP had done.

[uneng]

Of course those kids or teenagers should be assisted by local authorities in case they are abandoned starving on the streets, and introduced to an educational program immediately where all their basic needs will be supplied and they can learn a function to make a living from it. However, I think the main point here is to show how useful crypto was on that particular situation, because OP didn't have any money on his pockets, but was willing to help those teenagers urgently, so his only option was to use crypto. Besides being thanks to OP, it was also thanks to bitcoin the teenagers received food and drinks to satiate their hunger and thirsty.

When you least expect, bitcoin can save or bring confort to someone's life.

What you did OP is definitely a good deed and the good thing about it is that helping them is made possible even with just crypto in your mobile phone. Reality is that crypto cannot be underestimated anymore as it could also be used an instant fiat where there is more convenience and fast transaction. You just have to look for a store owner that accepts crypto, and then everything just got right. Hopefully, you will continue to help OP especially if you have gone too far already with crypto in you.

Never will Crypto be underestimated. There have been many instances where Crypto played a big role for example the Ukraine war donation funds early this year was realized through Crypto donation which amounts to millions of dollars equivalent. As you can see, the emergent of Crypto has been a very relieving tablet in time of emergencies. This shows how Crypto can be a means of rescue when ever a situation of this nature or anyother comes up. Well, this is what I love doing but for this particular, I did for the first time and I am happy about that. It made me come to realize that if we constantly do pay for services or goods regularly from a particular vendor whom is in Crypto gradually that vendor would get used to it and automatically he or she would start accepting Crypto From from you and possibly extend to others as you have made the move.

Many investors have understood the potential carried by cryptos and are investing now at the time of dip so as to make profits as the price rises.
