You could end world hunger with a lot of things. You could probably end world hunger by allocating 1 day per year out of the United States Military budget.

The idea that world hunger can be ended is a pipe dream.

Sadly, you are right. This is despite every Miss Universe trying to stop world hunger also...

Yeah but a few of the Miss Universes could satisfy certain hungers that I have.

oh wait

strike that

I swear this is one of the dumbest threads around here.

Here, in this forum, there are many early adopters who can give a big help to counteract the world hunger,
bitcoins aren't the reason for that, but a way to eliminate it.

Much like creating world peace, the only way to end world hunger is to kill everyone.

I find that hard to believe. In any case there is a lot more starvation in our future. Every hour of the day there are more people than the hour before. I hope we don't overshoot K in my lifetime.

I got some bad news. We overshot K long before you were born.
...

I fear your right. We would have reached 2 billion in about 1929. Look at how much growth there has been since!

No mate. Bitcoin paid for a spade for a guy in Africa. It paid for water charities to donate water to people without it. It helped people be reached who would not have otherwise be reached easily (or cheaply).

Your real enemy here are the millions of corporations and cities (such as las vegas) who care 0% about how much power they use unless it affects their salary. The very fact that this question has been brought up to the community shows the positive power of bitcoin and its community over existing systems.

Haha imagine the CEO of some las vegas casino or shopping centers and restaurants who use excessive lights on purpose for marketing and sales tactics asking "are we causing world hunger". It would never happen!. So bitcoin is not doing too bad ey Wink

While bitcoins bring something new towards our currency system, it is also beneficial to the protection and conservation of trees and forests. Having trees and a sustained environment can aid end world hunger. Online website such as Fast-growing-trees.com gives numerous options for the tree of your choice. Fast growing trees and plants such as Apple trees among others, could eventually serve its multiple purposes for animals and humans alike, even going as far as helping reduce global warming.

World hunger isn't even a financial problem. You could throw money at it for years and not solve it - as they have. Its a problem of infrastructure and politics. I recall a story that in the 1980 Ethiopian famine there were silos full of grain in one part of the country, while the west raised money to airdrop grain brought from outside, impoverishing those farmers that had good land.

I was looking for that answer, so I don't have to explain it myself. Wink
