I think that a universal income is a good idea. Tests have shown that people that get this make smarter life decisions, focus more on educating themselves and are happier due to less stress.

It is the 1% of the world population that have almost all money in the world that broadcast this propaganda that you are more free if you get nothing, have to work 2-3 jobs to get your children through college, after which they still will have a debt of thousands of dollars. This makes people slaves to the big banks and all in the name of freedom.

I do like SBI a lot, especially that you have to sponsor someone else in order to get something yourself. Also, unless you’re willing to invest a lot at once, which is risky because hive is still a young project, you won’t get massive upvotes immediately. Rather it will slowly build.

Sponsoring someone else is actually what hive is all about. When I vote for some blogpost that has sportstalk as a tag, then my 100.000 sportstalk tokens will give the writer a nice upvote, but half of that will come back to me.

My investment causes me to get a slowly growing stake in that token. Compound interest that only requires my voting to cause growth.

SBI is different here, because it requires me to write a blogpost. My votes will get lost in the sea of votes on this blockchain, but my blogposts will easily be traced back to me. The little SBI votes are for me a small encouragement to keep writing when I get almost no other upvotes. It does that for many people.
