I have some ideas on building a decentralized way to achieve perhaps not truly universal income, but to approach it incrementally and prioritizing income to the needy.
Anyone keen to discuss ideas around federation and variants of universal basic income? πŸ€”

I was 14 years old when I stabbed a grown man for the first time. I stabbed him in public, on a city bus, with the large, strong point of my class captain badge. I stabbed him hard, twice. He bled.
He couldn't cry out in pain when I stabbed him. Because then he'd have to explain to everyone on the bus what I had done to him.
And then I'd get to explain to everyone what he had tried to do to me.
My older cousin had taught me. "Bring out your darkness when need arises. It becomes your light."
