Why do I believe in Universal Basic Income?

In March of 2017 I was on Zanzibar. We discussed with my wife about different stages of people's life.

We've found 4 stages:

The first is a state of carelessness. Everyone was there until a certain age, while we live with our parents and we have a roof over our heads, they feed us, they dress us, sometimes they help us to get our own apartment, car, etc. Some people remain in this state for too long, some people are forced to return to this state at a later age when everything goes wrong. Anyway almost everyone goes further to a new state.

The state of earning. In fact, we all have basic needs - food, home and clothing. If you do not have enough of one of those needs, you cannot feel youself good, you have to work more. Usually you begin to work when you are student or even earlier. As a result, you can afford to rent an apartment, buy a jeans and a sweater yourself and at the same time you have a good dinner. You can't stop anymore. You earn enough money for basic needs, but you need a vacation at the sea, a car, your own big house, maybe a yacht. Therefore you go into the next state automatically.

The state of satisfaction of desires. Someone wants Porsche, someone needs a modest apartment in the center of London, some people want to dress in Prada and Chanel, and buy bags only from Louis Vuitton. Some want it all at once and another huge yacht, etc. And please do not think I'm exaggerating, because if you change Porsche to Hyundai, an apartment in the center to a studio in a sleeping area, and Prada to H&M then you immediately recognize yourself in this state when you have your first money in your pocket. In fact - this state is awesome. This is a state in which you feel your "achievements" every day. When you get out of the bed with one thought - I must! And working for 16 hours a day, doing your own business, because a little bit more and you will already buy a new restyling Range Rover, and it still needs to be tuned! It seems to me that we spend most of our life in this stage. But sometimes we break out a little into another state.

The state of accumulation. People consider that if a person does not seek to buy Pagani Huayra for a couple of million Euros, then he is either a dumb or a sucker. But what is interesting. We characterized the state of accumulation as a state when you have closed your basic needs, satisfied your most essential desires and you do not have to run for a new bundle of money. You are quite self-sufficient, you have built your working or business processes, you have enough income to completely dress yourself, you eat in restaurants, what you want, you travel, you buy a new car periodically. And of course no sensible person will refuse to buy Porsche if such an opportunity turns up (there will be simply extra money or vice versa there will be a smart offer for the price), but it does not seem interesting to work 16 hours in a day for this purpose. Surprise! In this state you have a time for himself! You can look around and start analyzing your joys in life. You can start to throw away the routine and boredom that filled your life on a race for material goals. But the most interesting thing is that you do not stop earning at this stage, rather, on the contrary, you begin to see opportunities to make money how you like to do! And at the same time, there will be a time to do what you love even if it is not bring any money.

You know, the last state is when you like to study and to teach. Both of them. And I believe that if we have no necessity to work hard to satisfy our basic needs we will go to accumulation state more often than to the state of satisfaction of desires. That's why I believe in Universal Basic Income. I believe that, when you have no necessity to work to get food or clothes, than you can choose something interesting: studying, creation, science, interesting business, a job of your dream etc. The only thing is interest! I believe Basic Income will change the world. That's why we are looking for like-minded persons to our concept of Universal Basic Income on Blockchain (http://big.foundation). No politics here, no regions, no centre. Decentralised autonomous system, that can make UBI real nowadays. If you like it, join us! Let's change world together!

The value is based on goods and services turnover inside the system as in usual economics.

How to get BIG tokens: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz8GOnrPq_i-bHlMS3JaRFg5dG8/view?usp=sharing

Базовый доход никакого отношения к коммунизму не имеет, хотя и выглядит чем-то похожим на первый взгляд. Но в коммунизме у нас от каждого по возможностям и каждому по потребностям, а базовый доход - это по сути социальная история, закрывающая базовые потребности и дающая возможность человеку заниматься тем, чем он сам хочет. Это очень далеко от того, к чему коммунизм стремиться по факту. Так что БОД и коммунизм давайте в кучу не мешать 

Just go to http://big.foundation subscribe there. Than you'll get welcome email with form. Fill in the form with your social profile and Ethereum wallet and wait for verification and smart contract address.
This basic income is free however you should verify your Ethereum wallet, so you should make a payment 0.01 ETH once to start getting BIG tokens to your wallet. You can pay more if you want to support our project.
This income is minting with every block, so you'll see tokens increasing every minute at your wallet.


Yes, it was a cicada project. They didn't find way to make value for tokens. We see it in goods and services inside the system.


Thanks a lot!


As soon as wallet will be ready, or may be even earlier at our webpage you'll have the opportunity to buy and sell goods and services with BIG token. That will add value for it. Of course it will appear at exchanges soon, it's already at etherdelta So it will have value in any case.

Right now it's a verification by social profiles. When we'll go to our own blockchain, we'll add decentralised verification system there.


Really? May be you can help me to find and get basic income in BTC or ETH? That would be great 


Because of blockchain this project is decentralised. It doesn't depend on country, region etc. So we give equal Basic Income independently on what country are you from.

There is no monetisation scheme, this is a non-profit project. Also the source of BIG token is the blockchain the same as Federal Reserve Bank is a source of USD. As soon as commission from turnover in the system will be higher than daily emission, emission will be stopped.

You need to wait for verification by email or any social profile that you've left. Did you get any messages or email with smart contract address?

Both, we should look for it and use paid articles as soon as we see, we don't have free already. But we just believed at our partners and it was a mistake.


Thanks a lot!

While we were engaged in the Ahoolee project, we realized that the problem is more global than we saw it. We find out that with the help of blockchain technology you can build a very good infrastructure for e-commerce, unlike on-line, where everything is chaotic, where each store / marketplace has its own nomenclature!
Now we are proud to accounce you Elementh - the protocol for e-commerce!

The main advantages of the Elementh blockchain:
1. Turing-complete programming language.
2. Ability to use a unified product card.
3. Function for transfer of ownership.
4. The ability to create decentralized applications for the world of e-commerce.

Detailed White Paper you can read here - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4v9xotckTktRjVWUFZTWmFIblk/view.
Concerning the ICO - we can not tell exact dates at the moment, as for Elementh we choose a slightly different mechanics, according to which we will attract investments: first we'll go to funds and large investors, and based on their feedback we will determine the date of the ICO.
Stay tuned!

Thanks! We don't need to wait, we need funds to pay developers. Will you develop blockchain and wallets for free??? I think no. So that is the reason. We'll develop it in any case but with money that would be much faster.


The value for token will give services and goods, that will be available to buy with our token. We already have lot's of goods for sale and also first adopters, who want to provide some services and take our goods for it. Why they do it? They believe in this concept as we believe. So as soon as you get free token and can get real goods and services for it, why don't you be happy with it?

As soon as businesses come here and accept our token (the goal of foundation is to attract people and business there) the value will grow. If the turnover in the system will decrease one day, the emission will return and begin to stimulate trading.


It's just a basic income. Let's see, you can buy some bread, you have a small room and can pay for it and you have basic clothes. Do you want to it steak or go to restaurant or cinema or you just want a car? You should work anyway, but you don't HAVE TO work, you WANT to work to get more comfort or just because you like to do something: invent something, sing, paint, study etc. You shouldn't think what you'll eat tomorrow.
