How Moons can Change Lives – A First Person Perspective

Yesterday, u/anotherjohnishere tipped me 2000 moons. Here is the story, and what I'll do with it:

It started off as a bit of a joke. I saw a post stating that John loves tipping moons, so I asked for 1000. Little did I know where it would take me. A few minutes later, I saw this reply. He actually gave a stranger on the internet 1000 moons! I was shocked. I didn't know much about moons, so I did some research.

Little did I know, 1000 moons is roughly ~$100. Now, I know this may not be a lot of money in the US, or in Western Europe, but where I am? That's a week's pay. So I sent him a message, thanking him and letting him know that, while it may not seem like a lot, it's kind of huge for me.

After I told him, what did this mad lad do? He sent me another 1000! Another 1000…. I didn't know what to do, or what to make of it. All night, I wrestled with what I should do. Then I decided. I'm going to pay it forward.

I'm personally not in desperate need on money, but a lot of people around here are. The government had funded a grand total of ~$195 of 'benefits' to citizens since corona started- total- and many people are struggling. So I decided that I'll make small care packages of food for people in need. These care packages cost around $20-30 each, and will be able to feed 2 people for up to a week. To those interested in the specifics of what's inside, here you go.

Tomorrow I will be going to the local homeless shelter, which is currently at 30% above it's maximum capacity, and will be purchasing them whatever they are in urgent need of. I am also in talks with a local university, to be able to use their leftover lunches, and with that, open a kind of soup kitchen for those in need.

I know moons are controversial. But this is just a real life example of how MOONs, and cryptocurrencies in general, can change the world.

tl;dr got tipped 2000 MOONs, which will help anywhere between 4 (directly) –> up to 139 people (indirectly at the homeless shelter). All thanks to u/anotherjohnishere
