I just want an easier way to give money to homeless people, without them having to depend on an electricity supply.
Maybe we could issue tokens for a given value or something like that?
True, but who would carry them around?
Oh, right. It's a silly idea.
Damn, how has no one done this yet?
Don't feed the troll
Pay Cash.
There are penalties for carrying cash. One is the time burden of withdrawing it, the other is that if your bank has fees for more than X withdrawals a month then you will be deincentivized.
how much money do you want to give to a homeless person for you needing to withdraw a high amount of cash each month?
I just don't want to have cash on me. My wallet is already quite a stack of cards. Two debit cards, a credit card, two vehicle registration cards, a roadside assistance membership card, a driver's license.
