Tier 1:

There are organizations that believe that basic income is possible and are working for the proposal to be discussed in government institutions. Finland launched a pilot test in 2017 assigning 500 EUA to 2000 unemployed citizens and the first readings are promising. We will have to wait for the final result.

I do not think that receiving a monthly contribution encourages non-production or inactive and lazy citizens. I think that on the contrary, it would stimulate creativity and participation. When people feel relieved of economic pressures, they feel stimulated and encouraged by ventures that allow them to double what they already have, without the fear of failure. They have a better attitude towards life, those who feel financially protected.

Either way, there will always be lazy people, that is a human condition that will not disappear. The important thing is that those of us who try to be productive are more.

As for the SteemBasicIncome project, it seems an invaluable alternative for people like me who are at the lowest level of the chain in Steemit and whose efforts are not rewarded as we would like. Within Steemit there is one more step for the distribution of rewards to be balanced or equitable. That would surely lower the feeling of frustration and encourage participation.

Currently, I have shares of SBI that gave me a noble soul and gives me a lot of peace every time I post a post and I get a vote from SteemBasicIncome, because something will add up at the end of the month. Unfortunately, due to the hyperinflationary situation in my country, I would need to make 5SBD a day to guarantee minimum food at my table. That is why I try to participate in each contest to try to gather as much as I can. But that is another issue.

Here I leave links with interesting articles that touch on the subject.
