Thanks for the support of the new project!
I do however need your support to break out of the "crypto" community to start reaching those that would most benefit from #AMillionReasons.
I will however give you some further backstory not contained in the reddit announcement. I live in BC, Canada where presently there is an ongoing dispute between our Teachers Federation (union) and the provincial and federal governments. This dispute has been ongoing for the last ~20 years which usually involves a teachers strike, student shut-out and then government force-to-work legislation, rinse, repeat. This dispute has on an ongoing basis put approx. 500,000 students out of school, which once again is the case now. I have 4 boys from 13-18 and a daughter, 4, and think there just has to be a better way. So the other night I was on khanacademy going through their bitcoin course and started looking around. It had not occurred to me at that time, but then I had the epiphany, found the API and said holy #$%@, this can be leveraged for a faucet! ... Taking the train of thought further I saw the potential for private faucets, where parents could reward their kids directly. Then linking it back to the current teachers strike, why not decouple education from daycare, kids can learn via khanacademy and be rewarded for it and as Sal Khan discovered leverage tutors and coaches in a much more effective manner tackling those tasks which they are having the most difficulty. A vision was born, but I need your help to spread the word!
Now I do not wish to hijack this thread, but wanted to get a more personal story out. I know there are believers in this coin and its mandate. I respect the reasons why the perseverance of some has waned, however mine has not ...
I would love to see the hashtags #AMillionReasons #YouCanLeanAnything start trending, but I can not do that alone.
Thanks, cheers! and #oink
