I put forth this concept, as it is only within a conceptual stage. I do not claim to have the know how to manifest this into a functioning service. I do however know and understand the adage; two heads are better than one.
Herein I present the seed in which something may or may not grow. I only hope and intend those with like minds/hearts view this and see the path that lay ahead.
Let me break it down.
I see there are now cryptocurrency concepts in effect pertaining to universal basic income. Whereby all humanity has a right to a basic income to sustain their lives. The implications of a basic income are many fold, dependant on the level of ignorance, or openness of the individual coming across or discussing the topic.
One side of the yin/yang coin is that it would lead to destabilization, as in who the hell needs to work with money already flowing? The other side, see what the benefits of a fed and happy populace can achieve when financial slavery has been abolished. A focus on well being with humanitarian and environmental projects at the forefront as people with the sight to see pool their resources and create the means to salvage ourselves and our planet.
Here are examples of the UBI projects now underway and looking to be operational mid to late 2018. Don't quote me on that, this is the crypto game. Ya'll know we have those opposed slowing abundance to humanity down.

These are not only awesome and you should get in on them and share them. I posit that we as a community, the Steemian family devise a method of creating a Steemit Basic Income Program.
There are automated bots managing upvote bids, countless websites associated with helpful tools and information, chatrooms, Discord channels etc. All pertaning to maintaining, establishing and growing the Steem foundation. Well I see in all that, the potential to go a bit further. Let us create something that enables not just the minnows, or the whales, or the inbetweens. How about we enable everybody?
My own ideas as I lay in bed last night falling asleep and hastily jotting this title down, are as follows. If a bot can be created to receive upvotes via posts and disseminate the gains via upvotes bought. Why not create a process by which a bot and/or website enables the creation of a fund, to be handed out equally each agreed upon term to those that sign up? A bot or profile can be used to post interesting and relevant material, be it informative or entertaining in which people upvote, thereby creating the funding pool.
Popular Steemians with large followings could contribute to the program to raise funds via their articles. Donate well created articles that your own followers love to upvote and pool the Steemian ingenuity to create wealth to be distributed to all Steemians!
Other ideas relate to smart Steemian investors creating streams feeding into the program. As for any other ideas I leave the rest to you the community. My mind and heart can only reach so far before that threshold is hit. The seed I plant. The caregivers of that seed I know are here.
