This is where cryptocurrency comes into it&#x27;s own. I am so heartened to see that blockchain fintech is being used to help vulnerable people. I predict that with initiatives like this and things like <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;disberse.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;disberse.com</a> we will see the whole aid sector move into this space in the next ten years.

What bit of this is supposed to be Blockchain? What bit of this is uniquely Blockchain dependent? If Gavin Wood is involved, he surely should be able to drill down into the actual tech bit that requires Blockchain.
