Basic income exists already in several European countries. For example in Germany you get for half a year after loosing a job about 75% of your last salary. After six months it degrades but you will always be supplied with a home, food, cloths and some little money to spend. In France you get paid for two years after loosing your job. In Denmark I think it is three or four year even. Enough time to start three or four startups. Would be interesting to look into the data of these countries.

In France, 2 years at 80% of your original salary (unemployment benefits). AND after that, you get the basic income ("RSA" +APL) of 650€/month (which is 60% of minimum salary, or 40% of median income). The amount varies depending on your housing situation and city. Source: I was on RSA for a year when I created my startup.
