Well the worries that pop up are that things will still cost money and there won't be as clear a means to make the money needed to survive because people who have money and resources don't need the rest of us . I imagine some form of UBI will have to be adopted eventually, but countries already are awful at managing the purchasing power of their money. Maybe bitcoin really will solve everything but I don't see things being so straightforward.
New problems to solve indeed. I imagine a lot of random craziness, like billionaires holding crazy contests and giveaways and some countries making bold bets on various other models similar to El Salvador with bitcoin. I'm still optimistic, but my brain was good at imagining projectories until I saw chatbot and realized....suddenly I feel like this : 😅
That's a good attitude! I feel the same way, I want to stop worrying about how to pay the rent cause somehow I've always managed to and worrying never did it
Maybe everything will just be paid in time because that's the most valuable thing of exchange we have.
internutter and I both use variations on Time as a currency in our respective head universesesesesss XD
I've always loved the idea of UBI but more recently not so much especially since CBDC became a thing and now they kind of look the same level of I don't think I like this for similar reasons x_x
I just don’t see how landlords and opportunists won’t raise prices just because they know they can if there is UBI. If it doesn’t lead to crazy inflation (or surveillance lol) it’ll be great.
There was a movie or two about using time as currency. I forget the name though.
There will be at least far-reaching surveillance with UBI I think, it will be "necessary" to "stop" stupid selfish arseholes from being stupid selfish arseholes (there is literally nothing except a come-to-Jesus moment that stops stupid selfish arseholes being stupid selfish arseholes) but in reality only stops people that weren't going to do it anyway XD
