○About Basic Income and Cryptocurrency

     There are various discussions about money and human existence. For example, there is the idea of a basic income, which unconditionally pays around $880 (as of 2023 exchange rates, 100,000 yen) per month to all citizens, and cryptocurrencies, which carry out all monetary transactions online. Both have their good and bad points.

    The conclusion for these two approaches is that "they can be expected to have effects in certain areas, but they are not the solution to all social issues." Basic income might rescue the homeless, but it cannot eliminate environmental destruction. Likewise, cryptocurrencies do not solve the problem of waste. These two methodologies stay within the framework of money, so the problems do not disappear.
