We cannot risk waiting for our governments to provide UBI for the people. In the coming years, automation will destroy millions of jobs, and our politicians don't even want to talk about it. In this case, why do we pay taxes into a system that's not going to listen to or protect the people?
A massive push is needed to educate people on how to properly use crypto-currencies, such as: Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethereum. We need to teach that crypto-currencies are not just something buy and sell on an exchange. They're a real currency that can be used purchase real goods and services. We don't have to continue using the traditional currencies to do so.
Personally, I'm already switching over to using crypto-currency exclusively, and I am aware that the exchange rates for crypto-currencies are volatile. In the long run, the crypto-currencies are going to win out over the traditional currencies as people begin having more faith in them.
The latest crypto-currency that I've joined is Manna, and unique users can sign-up to receive free Manna as a UBI. Manna can already be exchanged for USD and BTC too. You can sign-up now, and they're integrating a new id system to help prevent people from signing up for multiple accounts.
