RE: Cryptocurrency 2.0: The Tokens Are The Basic Income: STEEM Is Going To Be A Big Part Of That
It is rewarding the access. Advertisers want to get your attention (and that is what this is all about). For that privilege, they are going to have to pay you.
As it stands now, advertisers pay for it now, it just goes to google, facebook, or NBC...you get nothing out of the deal.
And by the way, to get you to eat those potato chips as opposed to cookies, someone will most like have to pay you.
Advertisers pay as you said Google, Facebook, NBC, etc... However, advertisers paying both big corporations for them to place their advertisements on their website or phone or etc.. and then having to pay the people who watch them seems to be too much. They would lose too much money and the fruits of their labor would seem to be spoiled. It seems like there would be room for exploitation and that would lead to a corrupt system. How will the universal basic income gain traction although it is needed in a sense; if it can be corrupted and big companies are at risk of losing money they will do all in their power to stop it from coming into fruition. Is this where the community comes in and it's the beginning of a revolution?
Companies will cease paying google and facebook since they do not control the attention. If you are on blockchain right now, advertisers cannot get to you without permission. At some point there will be methods developed where you can opt-in to see ads.
Big corporations are already at risk of losing a great deal of power. DTube for example, is a site where videos are posted without censorship. Hence any voice can be heard. This really affects the MSM that delivers the politically correct message.
Banking is under intense fire from decentralized exchanges and other financial systems. BTS is looking to put a major hurting on them.
Some companies will adapt, others will not. There still will be many forms of business done as they presently are but there are also going to be radical changes because of blockchain.
Earning tokens whether from a basic income like the link I posted to manna, from Steem, from bitradio, from Sia or a host of others, that is the future...people will choose where they put their attention and will be compensated for it.
