I think a basic income type fund is an awesome idea, but government money is fraud. In bitcoin land, we can make our own basic income contracts... Its a cool idea, but dont let the government destroy it! If people are into it, they will certainly pitch in.. cryptocurrency will lead the way with ideas like optional transaction taxes going to causes you support. .. if everyone had the option to choose their artistic path, freely, that sounds quite utopic.. that would be a beautiful, artisitic place, but, in the meantime, I have trouble finding reliable workers, as it is.. i need a robot assistant to cook, clean and garden... and ubi would probably make it harder to get help doing stuff that people dont like doing.
