In a world which won't be able to fund UBI forever and for everyone with abundant money , the best we can do instead as a society is bring prices towards zero, to share the fruits of our advancements in technology. Then the amount of work needed to support yourself and your family decreases over time.

There is no such thing as prices tending toward zero! All prices are relative to other prices
What is the price of the air you breathe? Abundance in money creates scarcity...Scarcity in money creates abundance. or to use in terms that you stated above.... "Relative" to Bitcoin, prices will decline towards zero. "Relative" to fiat, prices will rise.
When mr Booth talks we listen.

“Trend towards zero” doesn’t necessarily mean they will certainly reach zero.
To use air as an example of abundance, no technology can ever make a scarce good abundant, it can only change the relative scarcity of one good compared to another. The relative scarcity of Bitcoin increasing compared to everything else is a false assumption for two reasons:
1. It assumes that demand for money as a percentage of wealth does not decrease, but an increase in individual wealth causes demand for money to decrease.
2. It assumes that the market will not demand substitute currencies, but scarcity of blockspace increases demand for other currencies.
