How can UBI exist without statism?
- EGreg 8y agoVoluntary redistribution of wealth by a cryptocurrency. Look at groupcurrency.org
- fiblye 8y agoPeople could voluntarily distribute their wealth today if they wanted to. Few do. The crypto meme won't be changing that.
- EGreg 8y agoAnd how would they airdrop money to everyone else in the community every day?
- corodra 8y agoYea, but how do you airdrop electronic devices to utilize crypto for those that don't have electronic devices? If utilizing crypto and all it's blockchain glory to those who don't have access to computers/smartphones/internet has been answered, I'm all ears. Then cool. But I see that as an infrastructure issue that no one has directly answered.
- EGreg 8y agoPOS debit cards. But in most unbanked areas like rural African villages or Brazilian favelas people have smartphones. That’s one thing almost all of them have.
- richjdsmith 8y agoWhen's the last time you voluntarily redistributed your wealth? It's certainly available today by literally making a donation to a non-profit, or hell, some homeless guy on the street. But people don't. No amount of crypto 'disruption' is going to change that.
- EGreg 8y agoYesterday. I gave some homeless guys money for food. I would rather live in a system where no one legitimately begs for food, because they have an app that eliminates food insecurity for everyone. Do you know how much money is donated around the world every day, to hard hit areas, universities and so on? This can be done way better. Look at what GiveDirectly does in Africa. We can do better than that. Watch the video at https://intercoin.org https://intercoin.org — this is not theoretical! We are doing it.
