I think the answer to this question of yours lies in the post that was rated Number 1 amongst Top-25 posts on Steemit - about how Steem Blockchain can lift those living in poverty, off the ground.

So far we have the facts - our community's low barrier to entry allows for the parents to feed their children in the worst-off parts of the World - and that is inspiring!!!
