Some time ago I came across a concept of Universal Basic Income (UBI) and fell in love with the idea. I started reading some articles here and there, following different UBI advocates, I even joined a Slack channel.
Today I saw someone posting about a new platform that they are building, that basically recreates UBI concept using software and volunteers. À la shared economy 'slash' basic income mix.
Also recently I started mining Gridcoins. Love the concept as well! Feels good to be able to help the scientific community and get paid at the same time! ❤︎
So today when I saw the Group Income project, my second thought was somehow mixing it up with Gridcoin (first one was "oh that's cool!"). I have no idea how that would work or even the potential benefits of combining the two, but here are few bullet points:
- Both projects are
altruisticsemi-altruistic - Both projects are for the greater good and for the better future
- Both projects are revolving around personal monetary benefits
- Both projects are based on decentralized software
Perhaps there are more similarities, which probably means nothing. But... I though I'll just start a discussion and hope it inspires someone to do more better things. =)
