RE: Crazy Idea: Ending Homelessness With CryptoCurrency
I have seen firsthand how homelessness is "big business" and there is much room for corruption and embezzlement. New orgs and charities pop up monthly- it's very profitable and there is noone who watches them! With it being public knowledge- anyone able to view the blockchain, I feel this is a much better model than the current one.
I am an advocate now, and I am working on ideas regarding cryptos and homeless myself. I think we may be on the forefront of something great!
I'm currently homeless with my dog. I'm hoping that steemit along with a portfolio of crypto gathered through my (admittedly pathetic amount of) peerplay tokens (currently I have 1.88 PPY) will allow me to get a small place with a yard so that my dog can live out his last years happy and free.
My blog centers around my efforts to transform an '06 e250 cargo van into a liveable mobile home for the short term.
I would be happy to be a test case for your efforts to bring crypto to the homeless. I know several other homeless (including an old vet, an older man and his young daughter, and a couple that found themselves homeless after getting in trouble with meth.) that live at the same TA I park at.
Great to hear you working as an advocate! The possibilities are mind-blowing and I hope we will see more fantastic projects take form for the betterment of us all.
