Just wanted to share a real world use-case for crypto and how it improved the lives
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hey guys, I'm the guy who founded crypto for the homeless. You probably have seen my posts around the crypto sub-reddits in the last few years. Basically, we are a 501c3 (non-profit) organization founded and built entirely on reddit. We crowd funded crypto (a very healthy amount) and use it entirely for reimbursing volunteers that buy and hand out goods for the homeless. Our claim to fame is that we waste 0 funds on overhead and have zero upkeep. (We do not get paid and we only use the funds for food/goods). I was looking back on the media that we collected throughout the years and was just taking in the fact that before crypto was a thing, a project like this would never have been possible.</p> <p>​</p> <p>Simply as a result of the gracious support we received from the crypto communities of reddit, we were able to make the following possible:</p> <p>​</p> <p><a href="https://i.imgur.com/IxsLh2c.jpg">https://i.imgur.com/IxsLh2c.jpg</a></p> <p>​</p> <p>As you can see, our connection to willing volunteers is one of the strongest aspects of our organization - allowing us to create an unfettered channel from crypto donors to us to the volunteers where the funds will make the most difference. </p> <p>​</p> <p>This post is mainly to say thank you to all of the supporters (and even the critics - you guys also helped us fix the project in the right way).</p> <p>​</p> <p>We can always use more volunteers so if you do have interest in helping out just like what you see in the photos, feel free to contact me (send a dm/email/anything).</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Cryptofthl"> /u/Cryptofthl </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/wzaolf/just_wanted_to_share_a_real_world_usecase_for/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/wzaolf/just_wanted_to_share_a_real_world_usecase_for/">[comments]</a></span>
