Truckdriver Β Β 1,828 Posted January 9 Thanks @HodorΒ once again, you have a kind soul !Β when XRP is at a reasonable price I intend to help others , I don't have much as some , so my zerps will be for family first and for me to buy time so I can have better work/life balance,Β my 70 hrs a week isΒ hard on the family,Β hope that doesn't sound selfish. In New Zealand there is some worthy causes that need some love. If we could just skip the walk part ,ofΒ crawl,Β walk, then run scenario, then we could help others much quickerΒ Β as for crypto Eri ,big kudos to her. 4 1 Hodor, carpetbelly, xrpmommy and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Julian_Williams Β Β 4,248 Posted January 9 Thank you, its good of you to use a whole post to emphasise how people are using XRP for charitable causes.Β I believe in using wealth to help others and if my investment makes millions I will use the money for projects that would benefit my community.Β However, I think XRP's biggest contribution to helping the needy will be through projects like Mojoloop, bringing financial services to remote communitiesΒ and cutting out corruption in aid programs.Β In my opinion the self auditing features of Digital currencies are going to stop a lot of fraud and embezzlement. Obviously yesterday's news arrived too late to be included in this present post. I think the new sign ups are going to become a torrent in coming months.Β It will be difficult to review them all, even if you post twice a week.

It immediately found that at least 10 per cent of its previous payments had been going to non-existent policemen; corrupt middlemen in the police were taking the difference for themselves. Most Afghan policemen assumed that they had been given a pay rise, when they simply had received their full pay for the first time. In some cases they received pay 'rises' of up to a third.
