Hot damn @donkeypong, you are entirely right.

Oh, the glorious possibilities of this scaled blockchain.........

If we are talking about helping the poor, though, we need to make it possible for them to actually get CASH, and it should be something that can be used without a smartphone / connectivity. We're not yet at the point where we can replace cash with digital, though we may be close. So, I am officially asking for ideas that work along these lines:

The steemit community should jointly design and entirely give away a

• SBD<->Cash
• BTC<->Cash
• etc <-> etc

...business model.

This would enable countless people to make a living using the blockchain and even more people to get money when they need it. Yes, we want to eventually get rid of the moneychangers, but by starting in this less ambitious place, we can help more people, more directly, with their problems today.

I'm thinking of something that is literally no more complicated that a roadside stand that can be operated by one person with a smartphone / PC. This would hearld an incredible change in the dynamics of money globally.
