No, and there's a lot that makes sense about it, but I'm sure you can see that it could be misused. The impoverished could end up in a settlement, rearing to go with awesome, though simple, technologies and support; but if anything goes wrong... what happens? They're poor? They have no backup plan or parachute. The wealthy have no vested interest in the success of such a project. Governments prefer to support agribusiness & centralized utilities.

So are you talking about a blockchain funded project or something funded by some philanthropic entity? I'm not poking holes here, I was actually listening to how the healthcare overhaul will leave some 5-6 million special needs kids without coverage if it goes through -- many of them with some serious issues. It came to mind, "What if there's a blockchain solution to providing this kind of coverage?" but that's way beyond my level of understanding as to how to implement on any level.

The questions are significant, but the application is the hard part. How does it get funded to begin with and how does it progress? I don't know. I do know I'm particularly sensitive to language structures like "use the Poor as a stepping stone," but I don't think it was intended to be as cringy as it sounds.
