The real proof of steak 🥩

Wait… Your profile pic has a mask 😅

I suppose he is joking

Do you really teach this for that price in the US? 🤣

Let’s take the APF in Alaska. As of 2019, the fund has paid out an average of approximately $1,600 annually per resident (adjusted to 2019 dollars) according to Wikipedia.

$1600/12=133$ per month. Enough to pay a few bills maybe?

Obviously, we are very very early, but you can heat your house or your water by mining. Surely there will also be air conditioners that do the same.

You can buy them or you can even build them by yourself.

That would help to pay a few bills so you would have the same result without needing anybody.

As I said, we are obviously very early on this and we have to improve profitability and mining decentralization but technology is usually faster than politicians.

You are right and I didn’t think about UBI in Alaska tbh.

But that’s due to oil and obviously you can’t dig looking for it on your own.

But you can mine at home. So why call for the state? Maybe it’s not so profitable now but with the right development in technology (and steps have already been taken in this direction), it could be. We could focus our efforts there and not ask anyone and not wait for anyone.

Small communities are still different thing and I think they are more similar to a self-managed solution.

To be honest I didn’t think about it but Alaska has APF and this idea could work more or less in the same way but obviously potentially everywhere.

Anyway, there is a lot of difference between government and governance.

And maybe we’ll have some illuminated government, but you really think the incompetent idiots as you call them are just in the US and just nowadays? Look internetionally and look historically.

And apart from the fact that we could discuss how much and which government would be better, do we really need them to have a UBI via Bitcoin? What if we imagine a way to do it by ourselves, decentralizing mining with some development in technology that makes it affordable for someone who wants to mine at his own home?

And we have already something that starts going into this way.

With what Scott says, from a strictly practical point of view, the problem is that to do this you need more state.

The state already has companies owned by it but this did not lead to UBI in the strict sense. So why should be different with mining? To do well, they could use those funds to lower some taxes.

But if we want a distribution to everyone and that is not intended for someone chosen by the politicians we should take them out of the process (which is not easy because they would give up power). And so how can we put everything in the hands of states and politicians and then demand that we bypass them with a pre-distribution?

Do I miss anything?

Man, your finger in the pic 😅

I haven't listened to the podcast yet and I’ll do, but the perhaps stupid first hesitancy about UBI is: if we give everyone 100, doesn't 100 become the new 0? And don't we find ourselves at the starting point?

Yayyyy

I'm not sure if blocking yourself within a state means being stateless

You understand he is not saying it is a good thing, don’t you?

Caro Vivi Nella Verità, a me più che altro sembra che Vivi Nelle Stronzate

After a good night's sleep on the floor you can do whatever you want!

These movies are full of fake orgasm, this book is full of fake facts: good analogy 🤣

Many call themselves libertarians

I'm sorry maybe we're not understanding each other... I didn't even understand what should have offended me tbh

But hey, I didn’t want to be rude to you ❤️
