Sure that could be the goal, but when you run a small pilot you can't just ignore the existing policies and laws... Also it's not the main benefit of UBI. It's just one benefit (or side effect) of UBI - when it's univ

The example says they want to invest $1000 over the course of 3 months, so 1000 / (3 * 30) = 1000 / 90 = ~11$ / day. But aren't the transaction fees (at least for Bitcoin) something like ~$2 per transaction? So you'
