    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.

        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.
