For the sake of the exercise we will assume a few easy numbers to work with, since it's an approximation anyway and

since, ofcourse there's no real life testing of 11 million people on a steemit income so far but the idea is to get a general idea, because if i'm not gonna do it, the big heads in brussels certainly won't

So we will set

population = 10000000 (ten million)

and

ubi = $5 a day

(because we're working dollars here to avoid conversion rates and to get a basic general idea)

So ... we go to the fabulous tool at https://steemnow.com/

i will be using the calculator on the site by the ginormous and fabulous @penguinpablo instead of my own script which calculates it to the satoshi in the 11th dimension

at the time of writing 1 vote at 100% worth 1SBD requires (according to calc) 3600 SP as the system goes every account has potentially 10 votes per day at 100%, assuming (for the sake of experiment) one upvotes oneself ten times that's 10SBD the SBD/USD rate at the time of writing is $3.10

---

so every account can get itself (this is all in theory okay, contentnazis ? assuming they give belgium to me and i get to do the economy over lol) $31 a day, which is more than we are aiming at

for the sake of said experiment

so we divide by six, right ? it's not rocket or exact science after all, and roughly $5 a day needs 3600 divided by six

= 600 sp

hold on to your pants because this will end with an actual REAL number that's an approximation of whats needed for ubi

now time for a break from our sponsor

---

600 steem power at current rates

according to the fabulous blocktrades

---

costs at the time of writing : 0.25776417 BTC ... we will use BTC for the sake of its all criminal and has no use in real life ofcourse

---

now if i buy a one-time 0.25776417BTC at a place like anycoindirect.eu that sets me back €1962

---

SO ...

in essence

unless i missed a part , in essence and in theory 1962 times ten million euros gives every inhabitant of Hell a ubi of $5 a day

that is 19 billion 620 million

roughly 20 billion euros

would provide every single man, woman and child, working or not

with an income of $5 a day that is state independent

over naar de studio, walter, can i be king now ?

you can give everyone $5 a day with a one time investment of 20 BILLION EUROS

(barring development and advertising/education cost ofcourse and every popo who will want a few billion for themselves)

please correct me if my approximation in theory is wrong due to grave math zbelling

so, i know whoever gets here wearing a suit will have the same objections anyway but i'm asking only here, for the sake of exercise , brainrotprevention , experiment and the actual fact of actually not simply babbling if it can or can not be "where does the money come from" so

consider this : any state that CAN'T provide this by default to every single citizen can already NOT support its citizens

so where does their money come from right now ?

loans ofcourse .... national debt

so, i dont get your objections since right now nobody gets anything but the lords of mordor

_{maybe Kuroda-san can try it out on Tokyo, ask Sony and the Yakuza to pitch in, you know those guys are connected, right ? it's not europe overthere .. or maybe better ... maybe Bloomberg can do it for New York, thats less of a one-city only thing since its the Bloomberg himself and after all, that guy probably uses 20 billion bills to wipe his ass before breakfast ...}
