**Universal Basic Income (UBI) in NYC** is yet another illusion of control. A city can’t print money, yet it acts as if it decides the “type” of fiat income its people receive. The irony? Local government workers will essentially be paid the same—whether they work or not—funded by money conjured from thin air.

UBI reduces citizens to dependents, fighting for pre-determined “airdrops” of fiat while those in control inflate the supply to their advantage. Meanwhile, they pretend Bitcoin doesn’t exist—**a sound system of energy-backed value that no one can manipulate.**

Bitcoin isn’t a handout. It’s a way out.
