Thanks for the mentions. It's interesting that outside of Steem, SteemBasicIncome almost never gets mentioned as a basic income initiative, even though some of these others that are much more experimental are commonly mentioned.
In my opinion, for blockchain to be a viable source of basic income there needs to be some value proposition external to the UBI token giveaway. What happens to these other tokens when people realize that the interest in giving them away is their only source of value?
While being a crowdfunded basic income creates some inequality in the upvotes delivered by Steem Basic Income (more value goes to the accounts that have been the most generous), 25% of the enrolled units are for accounts that have only been sponsored by others. To me it's amazing that creating the right incentives has allowed for so many active Steemians to receive consistent upvotes without ever having to pay anything out of pocket.
