5 True universal basic income implies a post-scarcity future, which if attained, rules the concept of currency useless anyway. Anything else is attempted socialism with extra steps and extra consequences/opportunities for grift.

Do you think this is in line with the 90/10 rule? (even with UBI in place, money will still end up in the hands of a few which renders it useless in modern day capitalism) What about a system like social security? What if there are people who become unproductive members of society due to rapid tech innovation?

UBI is essentially recognizing the need for capital in a society with scarcity but fails to consider the asymmetries of each person. Social security is somewhat of a farce, given constant government pilfering of the coffers and it having no relationship to the massive inflation which has transpired.

Rapid technical innovation that actually succeeds in eliminating, not shifting labor would be something far closer to an prolific AGI/ASI event, at which, the concept of any form of capital makes a lot less sense

based, reminds me of a project that tries to define what "money" is when we're post scarcity, it was on github but i forgot what it is

There may be a reason why I’ve emphasized the function of Quilibrium in supporting decentralized access to mutually contributed AI over emphasizing the reward token, which can be substituted in kind for equal exchange of resources on the network, but that’s the BHAG after the current BHAG.
