Great work, great article, great idea. I think it is the future, or the possibility for a nondystopian future.

What do you think crypto currencys role would be? I don't really like the idea of a fed coin.

The basic income trials have been to created bank accounts to verified people. Crypto/digital cash makes the accounts and accounting a lot easier, but how do you see the verification working? It would be fairly simple in the United States, through social security numbers and accounts.

Perhaps the basic income payments could just be paid to social security accounts and withdrawn if the citizen chose to, of just save it there, and gain interest somehow, incentivising some people to work and save.

The problems I see with this are

Reliance on government, ideally the basic income system would be separate from the government, like a grassroots federal reserve.

And the ID verification system, used to track citizens and their spending, if the data could be anonymized so ecnomists/businesses/customers could have more data to make better decisions while the individuals information could be secure.
