This is why I think there's a valid argument for UBI in the short term while we downsize the role of government in our lives. Let the free market do its thing, and if we need social support to get us through the transition to a less government dependent society, a UBI would be the most economic approach, letting individuals decide where best to put their capital.

If we build sovereign wealth funds based on #Bitcoin, which is the only asset that stands a chance to appreciate faster than the U.S. government’s accumulating debt and interest, only then does UBI make sense to me. How else could a government possibly ever bankroll it?
