Doing that for one country makes sense at that scale. The UBI, however, is a global scheme and the "version" I used is the most studied method.
hopes to find out how basic income can help people respond to economic instability and uncertainty, or perhaps even find alternatives to UBI that achieve the same purpose. The overarching goal of this trial is to advance the debate about the future of work.
it would require the removal of any notion of property rights before it could be implemented.
how do we get from here to there when "here" has firm property ownership rights in place?
Would people with large capital currently find that funding microtransactional value infrastructure could devalue the market?
It may even out eventually. But its hard to put in motion.
Folks are going to want equality more than equity.

All of those schemes will necessarily give way to global structures in the future.
It should be noted that a Finnish right winger is not going to be the same thing as an American right-winger. That said, trying to sell me on an idea because some right-winger likes it isn't the best route to take with me.
While UBI tends often to be associated with progressive politics, Finland’s trial was launched – at a cost of around €20m (£17.7m) – by a centre-right, austerity-focused government interested primarily in spending less on social security and bringing down Finland’s stubborn 8%-plus unemployment rate.
you show me even a single example of it actually being implemented like that?

Are you reading ANYTHING I post?
I will wait until you can extrapolate more data from the sources I've used.
I'm curious why you chose such a drastic & global version of UBI?

Between 2020 and 2025 our world will be populated by a new species of 50 billion connected devices, 100 Million Robots and 20 million Electric vehicles. This is also confirmed by the world economic forum, where they assume that 30% of Accounting, Procurement and Settlement will be done by blockchain and AI. 10% of GDP will be based on blockchain technologies by 2025 and society will be surrounded by a new species of autonomous machines, self driving cars, decision-making AIs and CRISPR DNA editing robots …
that's a scary future with the totalitarian sellout government we have now
