> Blockchain allows a new form of money to be created and used in a very efficient manner.
See, here's the thing. If you cared enough about this project, you'd do this without the blockchain.
You bring this blockchain thing, and I feel like your mission is "Blockchain or bust". But you can always pivot to the blockchain later. As blockchain proponents have said, "It's early days." Why would you risk your mission on an untrustworthy technology? Boring tech is much much better for building on your mission. From SV to Des Moines, there's a reason people write their software in Java to this day, e.g.
You can use a BTC address for payments and payouts, as well as say traditional mechanisms (many of which are wrapped by Plaid). Essentially you become something like "Wealthfront".
Also, there's a lot of poverty in the US, such as in SV/SF itself. I would focus on that. Blockchain is sexy, but the homeless situation is not. It's a much harder problem. And your mission just assumes someone else will fix it and worse just assumes it's fixable in the first place.
But I still hear about people biking in SF talking about PPMs (poops per mile).
Meanwhile NIMBY's are fighting new housing projects.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's not fixable, but simply relying on others to fix your core mission will end in tears.
