One of the main problems posed by opponents of UBI is "how do we pay for it?"

As outlined by Aleeza Howitt in Roadmap to a Government-Independent Basic Income (UBI) Digital Currency there are two approaches to funding a UBI: using monetary or fiscal policy.

Using fiscal policy is problematic because it fundamentally requires people to give up value, whether it be in the form of taxes, donations, or other redistributive approaches.

Monetary policy provides a more sustainable approach because it incorporates the expectation of inflation caused by the regular distributions of UBI into the price of the currency.

The Economics of Monetary UBI

The value of a currency depends on what people will pay for it in terms of supply and demand and its ability to be used as a medium of exchange, store of value, and unit of account. MOE/SOV/UOA depends on the integration and adoption of a currency into society. We can't control the demand for anything but we can control its supply.

The amount of UBI available to claim will grow relative to the world's population growth.
