Rising Trend

With rising trend of issues and the need for a basic income, I have seen there are several different people working on different approaches to find ways in which we can provided people with a basic form of income. Steps that will improve the general quality of life of people, specially those in third world countries where the need is very great for something to be done.

I live in the United States according to Global Finance from 2015, he United States is in the top 10 richest countries. Yet there are metropolitan areas in which the unemployment in the area is over 10% for the year 2016, 1 area was, El Centro, California even over 20%, found here. Most the time we don't look at these individual cities we look at the rates by state or country.

As a whole the worst state to live in right now is Alaska with 6.8% unemployment, found here. With the growing trends, granted the numbers have been moving down slowly, seems that there are things we can do to improve the general quality of life among those who are struggling.

So, I did take sometime to look up other ways to increase, even at a minimum level, my income. One such opportunity I found was Grantcoin, right now they do say they have a small amount of money they are going to give out to people who are registered. This part did take a few days waiting on it to be completed, as well as, I did have to provided some basic information in order for them to verify I am only applying one time. Here is a link to the sign up page, if you use the referral link you will make an extra 50% more the first year than you would if you do not, as well as I would make 100% more than I would have if you did not use the referral link. If you do not wish to use the referral link http://www.grantcoin.org/ this is the link to there main page.

That being said they are paying out quarterly, and being there were issues with Ekata Social, which is part of the signup process they extended the deadline to January 21, 2017. If you want to look at the steps needed you can see them here before you start the process.

I like the idea of this project, the first few payments may not amount to much, but lets spread the word.

The Grantcoin Foundation uses 80% of donations to support the market price of Grantcoin, and 20% for technical, marketing and administrative needs.

Something else I don't understand

What do you not understand?

I am just getting my head around Bitcoin

It takes time, I been just using bitcoin faucets off and on for 2 years, have not had the money to really invest yet! So don't worry it seems to eventually make sense.

I am trying to take it all in, There is so much to know when I didn't have a clue about it. Hopefully is Steemit keeps progressing you will have money to invest :)

I'm sure it will, not to mention I have a hard drive on the Storj network, and an old GPU mining Monero, so <$5 per month there but still making little bit with what I do have.

Keep going, I will know where to come for a loan :) good luck
