Tell me, where does my reasoning go wrong?
If:
1. The conductor cannot tell if a child is less than 4 years old visually, and requires a birth certificate.
2. The birth certificate suffices to determine the age, even though it provides no reliable way of confirming the child's identity.
Therefore I should also be able to travel free as "a child less than 4 years old", provided that I have an appropriate birth certificate on me, right?

Geyser is a crowdfunding system.
Lots of history of patrons raising funds from the public for art works or public infrastructure.
Kickstarter and the like on the internet made this much easier. But it's all bank money which is conservative and restrictive. Not global. High fees and middle men.
So doing it freely with bitcoin makes some sense. Censorship resistance and global scope.
Geyser has been running and funding projects for a while. Non custodial and money goes to creators only if target reached in time, otherwise returned.
All open source in smart contracts on chain.
