RE: Introduction to VIVA : A Price Stable Crypto Currency with Basic Income (that's not Hypothetical)
See. This is something I can read and see potential in.
Real world application rather than just profit fluff suggesting equality
When do we see this launch and how the heck does the system afford to pay everyone as a diminishing return is likely realized due to human lazyness and sloth? The whole something for nothing concept doesn't fully resonate with me yet as I cannot seem to understand how anyone expects this to be feasible long term as you take away the very driving factors that motivate people to do things.. :/
This is huge and the whitepaper was lovingly called the whitenovel .
I've created a 6 part summary I'm distilling into a 4 part blog posting. BTW next chapter is up...
https://steemit.com/basicincome/@williambanks/introduction-to-viva-part-2-more-than-meets-the-eye
...and how do I make sure I can follow this, and be on the front end of it, other than just following @williambanks? Please post or email me a subscribe link - [email protected]
Best with this, Guy
Actually, following @williambanks is probably the best way to keep on top of this.
Okay but some sort of opt-in list in case I don't get to spend every day or the rest of my life on Steemit is what I was hoping for. In time I imagine...
Don't stress it, this isn't something launching tomorrow. Our whitepaper is still a novel and needs major work. Our website is still being designed. There's time to relax, just check my blog each day for the next week or so. You can also follow user @vivacoin for official information and finally our website will be at www.vivaco.in when it's stood up, so you can book mark that URL and wait for it to no longer be just a parking page.
Great! Best of luck with it, it sounds fascinating so far from the posts.
Hi. You forget that factually the majority of things in your live for the driving factor is something entirely different. Take for example love. You fall for someone because of a trillion other reasons. Laughter, enjoyment and fun are yet others. Expressing a creative side of your yet another.
Money can't buy me love?
That might be true, but he real thing we're discussing is a concept called entitlement.
Most people agree that the lowest orders needs are things you are entitled to by virtue of being human.
The disagreement comes into play when you start talking about the higher order needs.
In Europe the consensus is much more in favor of entitlement to mid and higher order needs.
In the USA the consensus is that these aren't needs, but wants. You must work to acquire those wants if you really want them.
Our species still has a long way to go.
For now, let's just give everyone the ability to earn an income by removing the road blocks and let them take charge of their own destiny.
Money can buy you hookers.. Which is like love if my googling is correct. ;D
LOL, that had me rolling!
Love is basically chemical intoxication caused by hormones, pheromones and the devils vagina magic. 0_0
Yeah... tell that your mother who showed you how to wipe your ass, once she done enough of that for the sake of love and come again.... ;)
Thank you for this intelligent and thoughtful rebuttal.
My point still stands, hormones and vagina magic.
Yes, it's a valid point, but imo just fractionally correct. I would argue it is a very tiny fraction. One of the outstanding amazing human capacities is to actually live in monogamy by choice, pure will power. It's totally against our chemical hunkybunky cocktail :p With this will power we can do all sorts of irrational things, probably just because we are bored.
LOL. So true, Alec! There is so much more to love than lust. Miserable is the man who believes the physical aspect is all that is available. Lust is on that Maslow's hierarchy of needs right above defecating. Come on, is your wife/significant other no better than your toilet? How do you feel about your mother, sibling, or child?
I believe there is nothing in the world more important than the love that holds family and society together. Only people who know how to love sincerely can truly find fulfillment.
