I understand what you're saying but I do not even remotely think this is stupid. For example, if I'm out and a homeless person ask me for money, I always give if I have cash on me. They ay be collecting money to go buy smack, they may be a full time begger, I mean it does pay more than minimun wage. There's a danger in everything in life, however it's never stupid to do this sort of thing. It is the act of kindness that counts. This could become contagious and help an evolution of sharing. Will it get rid of the monetary system? no. Will it get rid of negative human nature, such as scammers? no. But it will make Brendan's soul more complete along with everyone else who upvotes to help those in need, of which there are many.
