Steem Basic Income
Steem Basic Income is a voluntary social experiment to bring a crowdfunded basic income to as many Steemians as possible. Members join by sponsoring others into the program. Steem Basic Income is delivered through providing regular upvotes to member content.
SBI Word Clouds
The last time we shared our updated word cloud was 10 days ago. With the word cloud part of our regular update rotation now, we will continue sharing it every 7-10 days. That's about once per week, but a little less often when we have really good content in between (like member interviews!)
Member Heroes
My favorite word in our word cloud is 'member'! The SBI member is the real hero. We built a framework that allows you to help yourself by helping others, and you have responded en masse. Your support enables us to provide regular support to thousands of accounts and deliver more than 800,000 total upvotes.
Give yourself a pat on the back and then thank another SBI member today!
'SP' and 'mvests'
Steem Basic Income operates as a stake-based subscription service. When you sponsor others, your build their stake and your own. Then you both receive regular upvote support powered by that stake (or based on your delegated SP or upvote bonuses).
We are a voluntaryist response to socialist basic incomes. Instead of operating via force or coercion, using taxes or theft to fund a basic income, we work to build blockchain-powered incentives that encourage people to help each other.
Interviews
We have published almost 20 member interviews and will continue to publish more to build and enhance our Steem community. If you would like to help us create quality content, please consider joining our SBI Writer Group. Writers earn SBI bonus units, STEEM/SBD rewards, and recognition. Due to persistently low STEEM prices, we have even increased the SBI bonus units available!
For more info, please review our Writer Group program summary and then contact @josephsavage if you are interested.
