RE: So you think universal basic income is "free money" or "socialism"? Think again.

That's quite a pack of straw men.

Do you post your bank account number and pin number on the blockchain? Do you post your address and where you keep your spare key?

For business, I try to provide, only those who need it to do business with me, the information necessary to do so. Personal associations have their own uncertainties, and I am sparing in my distribution of my personal information.

Try having your identity thieved and abused, and then let me know what you think.

There are other options in the world than being clinically paranoid or lying naked in the middle of the road with butt cheeks spread wide.

Sort:  

You think they store the address and phonenumber in the blockchain? Ah, I guess that explains your reaction. Perhaps if you'd explained that fear in the first instance...

I can't reassure you on that, as to tell the truth I assumed it would be better organized, and in any case I plan to move soon, so the details I gave will become redundant before too long. Personally, for what it is worth, I doubt the details are stored in the blockchain, and if they are, I doubt they are stored unencrypted. That would be really bad design.

That was not a fear, or a statement, but a question to see how dedicated you are to the idea that everyone should have to show their papers before being allowed to exercise their freedoms.

ID is for slaves.
