Somewhere in Africa there is a little girl playing in the dirt, and I want her to have a crypto wallet. I want everyone to have one, and I want you to get what you need every month. Not more, because I believe we should earn the Ferrari we want to drive and the alba truffle that we love to consume. But there is no reason not to have what we need, because the power is there to give it.
I am not lazy, if I had a basic income available to me I would use it to fund my writing, designing and creating. I am not alone, many would do the same. The tech kid programming in his preteens doesn't do it for the money, the artist sketching designs doesn't do it for the sex (though they totally get it), and the citizen scientist doesn't do it for the fame. We love work and accomplishment.
You know what we don't love? Moving boxes like a robot. Standing in the same spot for eight hours saying, "What can I do for you?" And we don't love doing stuff that doesn't matter, that we don't need to do, that benefits no one because some people think we need to "protect" jobs that are unnecessary. I don't want an unnecessary job, do you? I would love a necessary job. It feels great to do something of value for others.
The powers at be will never do that for you. Why wait for them? Blockchain is the answer. We can create a blockchain that is fair, balanced and values your most precious asset: time. Let's create the blockchain that rules them all, the blockchain that doesn't do an ICO, but all the others exchange through it. Let's have a blockchain that every single soul on the planet owns a piece of and uses. The SEC can say it isn't currency, they can call it whatever they would like, because we know what it is and we use it instead.
Be a part of a blockchain that seeks not exclusivity, but equality. Don't support a blockchain of greed, but join one that wants to spread its coin to every inch of the earth, and more importantly, make sure even that little girl in Africa has some to use for her needs.
