I have been thinking about this a while. How can CryptoCurrency help the homeless? I have come up with a crazy idea, which admittedly, I have not thought through, because I do not know all the intricacies of the problem. However, I hope those in the know can build upon this idea.
My idea is to set up a group of CryptoCurrency, financial, experts among volunteers at homeless shelters. These will help manage Crypto for local homeless people. The end goal is to have homeless people break out of homelessness through accumulated wealth.
People will donate CryptoCurrency to these volunteer groups. Some of the Crypto will be diversified and traded in a way, to accumulate more value. Wallets can be assigned to each local group or maybe even to each homeless family or person, looking for housing. In either case, more and more Crypto will, if all goes well, accumulate for individual volunteer groups or homeless people depending on the strategy.
Workshops will be arranged to teach people about what Crypto is and how you can manage it. Some of the Crypto might be dedicated to individuals to use how they want, while the rest is only available to the Crypto/financial experts.
Donators will keep an eye on the wallets on the blockchain(s), to make sure, that no CryptoCurrency ends up in the wrong hands. No need for currency to whither away in bureaucracy.
The long-term goal is simple: Accumulate so much value in CryptoCurrency that each homeless family and individual wanting to can now find housing.
