What would Universal High Income mean for crypto?
During COVID, the US alone printed $5T in stimulus. What happened?
BTC went from $5K to $69K (14x)
ETH went from $100 to $4,800 (48x)
SOL went from $1.50 to $260 (173x)
Total crypto market cap went from $200B to $3T (15x)
That was $5T. One country. One time. Over 2 years.
Now imagine UHI:
$50K/year to 5B adults globally = $250T/year
That's 50x the entire COVID stimulus. Every single year.
Fiat inflates 10-20x to absorb it
If just 5% of UHI flows into crypto = $12.5T/year of new inflows
BTC → $10M (digital gold when money printer goes brrr forever)
ETH → $500K (settlement layer for the AI economy)
SOL → $50K (processing billions of AI agent transactions daily)
Stablecoins → $200T+ market cap (the actual rails UHI gets distributed on)
COVID stimulus was a joke in comparison.
And last time, nobody was ready. This time, the wallets already exist.
"post-AGI, no one is going to work and the economy is going to collapse"
"i am switching to polyphasic sleep because GPT-5.5 in codex is so good that i can't afford to be sleeping for such long stretches and miss out on working"
In 200 years, kids will learn about the 'employment era' in history class the same way we learn about feudalism.
'People used to trade 8 hours of their day to survive and they thought it was freedom.'
The whole class will laugh.
#UniversalHighIncome#UHI
Retirement is just UHI for old people and nobody has a problem with it.
We're literally saying 'you worked enough, here's money, go enjoy life.'
UHI is that but without making you wait until your knees don't work.
in capitalism you get rich from solving problems for other people that they voluntarily pay for
in socialism you get rich from being friends with the bureacrats in charge
CTO request has been successfully processed and fees are now ours.
UHI on ETH represents a bet that robots will do the work and humans will collect the check.
This token is the OG cultural flag planted before the rest of the world catches on.
people read this and think it's sci-fi but we literally already 3D print houses in 48 hours for $10K.
now multiply the printer by a million and make it smarter than every architect who ever lived.
the math isn't crazy, your frame of reference is just stuck in 2024
Just a few million Tesla bots will be able to build entire NYC (size) like cities in a matter of months (using advanced technology, next-generation 3D printers, new materials, and new assembly techniques).
We will build 1000s of new cities from the ground up. They will be designed by AGI or specialized narrow superintelligent systems.
Many of today’s small cities will likely be abandoned, as people move to a new generation of "modern" small cities, while others relocate to next generation Tier 1 global cities.
The point is that in a post AGI era, abundance will be so vast that even the construction of such cities will be trivial, fast and cheap.
Humans sleep 8 hours a day.
That's 2.5 billion hours of global productivity lost every night.
Nobody calls that a crisis.
But the moment AI covers your 8 working hours so you can do something better, suddenly it's the end of civilization?
people in 1800 thought 90% of humans needed to farm or everyone starves.
now 2% farm and we're all fat. the work didn't disappear, it evolved.
next question
People don't understand that the work will expand to fill the available capacity.
We are simply going to do more and produce way more value with less input work.
The economic Doomers are hypnotized by the finite work / finite sum fallacy.
