The basic income is not philanthropy or communism, as some people see it. The basic income is justice, it is a fair way to distribute money whithin a community of people and among generations.
Until now all types of money (silver, gold, dollar, euro, bitcoin or dash) were designed as time and space dependant. The
old guard always holds most of the money, and people beg them and do whatever the old guard wants, in order to get that money. But this is about to change in the upcoming years.
People will soon understand that money must be initially distributed in a fair way. And only after this initial fair distribution we should let people earn more of that money (according to their labor and their capableness). People will understand that all new born citizents that belong to the same community must initially have equal chances in money (similar to what is happening to a family, where new born brothers and sisters have equal shares to the fortune of their parents).
So the basic income will become a prerequisite in whatever type of money, whether this is named dollar, or euro or bitcoin or dash. And people will politicaly refuse to accept whatever money does not have the basic income property. Whether the basic income will become a universal income or not, this depends on whether there will be peace worldwide or not.
