Hacking adoption of Solid - Voluntary Decentralised Universal Basic Income

Hey @anon36056958 ! Thanks :slight_smile:
My (unprooven) thesis is that if we enstated a system of global unique identity and used Voluntary UBI as a way to drive adoption, those very things you mention could almost happen spontaneously.

  • Corporations would increasingly become decentralised as people would be seamlessly able to share equity with mankind

  • The knowledge that would come out of decentralised governance of companies could be trasnferred gradually to states (and demanded by the people who would get a chance to see it working)

  • If people buy into the idea of voluntarily sharing money & they believe to build decentralised public services, voluntary taxation could sort of become a thing.

  • If everyone owns stock in anything, and financial interconnectedness is maximum there would be much less incentive for conflict and we could be pushed towards a resource based economy.

So my point is: UBi alone solves nothing… but a decentralised form of that would make it a LOT easier to do all these other things.

Again… this is just speculation on my part but i hope it makes some sense.
