this idea about leveraging blockchain to provide a viable currency to the masses and providing opportunity really resonates with me. I've been volunteering for the past 6 months as a developer on Scotcoin http://scotcoinproject.com as a means to provide "national" crypto. we operate essentially as a charity (there's VERY little money we can actually use but hopefully steemit can help us change that) and intend to loan out vast swathes to business incubators and community projects, especially those dealing with food poverty because the only banks booming in Britain are food banks :(
