RE: GoodDollar - Crypto-based universal basic income system

in #steemhunt5 years ago

I am a fan of attempts to build a basic universal income program. I am a bit sceptical about the logistics of it, and whether the goal is really acheivable. The other issue is that thost people that would really benefit from a UBI, have no idea or involvement in crypto. We are a very niche industry at the moment, and using a crypto for UBI kind of renders the "universal" part as irrelevant. However, like mannacurrency, I am supportive of attempts and will keep an eye out for future developments. Nice Hunt.

In 2019, all of the knowledge are available on internet, free. The world average, spending time on TV or Facebook, more than two hour per day.
I cant understand noone, if they have two hour for watching tv, but they havent time for educate themself in case of money...

As of June 2018, 55.1% of the world's population has internet access

I take your point about a lack of education generally, but 45% of people dont have internet access (as of last year). In my humble opinion, the world has a very long way to go before a UBI can truly be "Universal".

We agree.
But there is another information in this quote: 55% of the planet's population have free and unlimited access of all knowledge of mankind. And biggest part of the world is still a shitty place. So maybe the fault it is in the population, not in the resources.
