The Basic Income ship has not sailed. Social networks of the future will divulge a percentage of their profits back to active users. I know because I am building one as we speak. Now that you know my platform's secret, you can race me to zero.
If you manage to build something comparable to fb, and your profits will be around $700mln with 1.4 billion users, you will be able to pay each user 50 cents.. whoa... BIG is now a real possibility!
