Tristan Roberts, organizer
On Thursday, October 29, 2015, Tristan Roberts will host a discussion on strategies towards a post-Scarcity society. The group will explore the current and possible future implementations of Universal Basic Income, at the local, national, and international levels. According to the organizers, “We’ll also be discussing radical solutions that may supplant the current economic system. Technology, in the form of cryptocurrencies, is actively being designed to create transparent microstates. Besides offering transparent governance, some of these modular, voluntary communities will feature digital currencies that have progressive wealth redistribution at their core. In other words, a bitcoin-like, blockchain-based universal basic income.”
The discussion will take place at 7PM, in the NextSpace coworking office on the 2nd floor of 1 Hallidie Plaza, San Francisco, CA.
Topics include:
*The status of the Swiss referendum for a Universal Basic Income
*The Finnish and Dutch efforts towards experimenting with Basic Income on city-wide levels,
*Alaska’s Citizen Dividend and Oregon’s possible Carbon Dividend
*Bitnation’s attempt to create modular, transparent governance
*Next-generation, Ethereum-based cryptocurrencies that feature wealth redistribution
