Thank you. Some valid points raised. Whilst much of the welfare support available is well intentioned it has become so bloated and misappropriated that it doesn’t actually reach those who really need it. For me it should be inextremis and as a springboard to something better. For many it’s just a daily handout.

My fear with transitioning to a bitcoin backed world would be the collapse of welfare into a Dickensian style society of rich vs poor where the only way to survive is a trip to the orphanage or the workhouse / poor house. Or perhaps a feudal system of citadel lords and serfs.

Thank you to anyone who gives their time or money to help. My motivation for helping comes from meeting so many military veterans ending up on the streets - they particularly deserve better.
