RE: Should Steemit provide a basic income to its most loyal users ?
I'm not a big fan of just giving people large amounts of Steem for just being members. Beneficiaries need to either have some skin in the game(invested outside money), put in significant amount of work, or have been active participants in the platform for an extended period of time. In a way, the compounding effect of owning Steem Power sort of accomplishes this goal. However, one change we might consider is allowing posts from long time members get larger Steem/Steem Dollar rewards for ALL upvotes regardless of the voter's Steem Power. The longer you are a member, the larger the reward for any upvotes on your posts or comments.
I'm not a fan either of giving away steem dollars "easily". But the ones who invest quality time, maybe could be rewarded in a more structured way, that could allow them to make a living out of Steem.
This could have a series of positive effects, for example would be a big advertise for the community.
