Introducing "SwiftDemand", a cryptocurrency experimenting with the concept of Basic Income.
A great friend of mine @littlenewthings showed me this incredible little website about a week or two ago, that seemed like a really interesting idea (plus it's totally free, for life), so I decided to join.
Now, I don't know how many of you are aware of the concept of "a Universal Basic Income", or whether you support the idea or not - but here's a link so that you can educate yourself a little further on the concept:
http://basicincome.org/basic-income/
I joined and immediately was granted 100 Coins - and every 24 hours, you get another 100 coins, absolutely FREE!
AND, let's say you miss a few days of claiming? You can come back and collect everything you missed with no loss or penalty.
Currently, these coins have no "market value" on any exchange at this point in time, but that could very quickly change as this project gains traction.
I've already earned over 9600 coins since I've joined - every person you refer, you gain an additional 500 coins! :)
And using a referral link earns you an extra 500 coins right off the bat, too. So it's a win-win for both parties.

During the latest Bitcoin frenzy I read an essay noting that if you'd acquired $5 in Bitcoin 7 years ago, you'd have an asset today worth over $4.4M. If you'd gone wild one night and ponied up $100 ... well, you do the math.
Maybe it's worth nothing. Maybe the minute it takes out of your life to sign up is time you'll never get back. But ... nothing ventured, nothing gained. It for sure will fail if no one supports it. This is true of everything in life. (Maybe more people need to realize that.)
In places where the government has instituted experiments in UBI, the people thrive. The community thrives. Life improves drastically. It's an idea whose time is coming. It will be interesting to see where this leads -- both the notion and adoption of UBI ... and this project.
For now ... thumbs up and <3 to @fatpandadesign . I'll send flowers and chocolate, too, if I get around to it. For sure if and when this takes off!!
I actually like the Idea as more and more companies are based of usage rather than profit models but on the off chance this does well someone is going to remake the coin with an identifying system of some sort connected to something like Civic/uPort so it's linked to an identity and that will take this coins place.
Universal Health Care, Universal Basic Income, and decriminalise drugs. The trifecta that will solve most problems. The rest is details.
canada has universal health care, one of our provinces is starting a trial on universal basic income and the federal government is heading toward legalizing pot.... are you in the right country @catweasal? :)

Thanks for writing something about basic income and using the #basicincome hashtag! I haven't signed up for this one myself, but I am receiving Grantcoin/Manna.
Very cool share! I'm signing up with your link :) May the cryptos be ever in our favor!
BTW you have the pleasure of my 5000th post :D
I have some strong doubts about it taking off, but on the off chance it does...
Better to be safe than sorry? That's why I'm stocking up on free coins haha.
Exactly.
I mean, you've gotta sign up right? Still, no idea what these coins actually are, or if they even are a coin, or just ticker numbers that don't have any link to any actual mined coin, but why not.
I don't think a thing like this can be legit. If it was decentralized like Bitcoin, I would have even considered. But you see the whole point here right? It's controlled by some shady organization. They are baiting you to increase their web traffic and ad profit. This contradicts the whole point of what we're doing here on steemit. Users promoting this shit should be blocked from this platform right away.
Dude, chill out. It's a freebie and if you don't like it you don't have to join. There's always someone who's got an issue with everything haha geez.
And yeah, I shouldn't be on the platform - the one helping grow and expand it by bringing a community together and helping it grow stronger.
Yeahhhh okay buddy. Have fun on SteemIt with that sorta mentality
I have signed up for this as well... recruiting has always been my weakness... so I am collecting all by myself...
Hei steemitcards drop me a #panda card
Good job my litle robot .
I signed up for this when someone posted the link in the chat a couple of weeks ago. Seems like an interesting concept. I guess it never hurts to get in on the ground level of something, especially if it doesn't cost anything.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing I like this kind of information...Upvoted and resteemed this post.
Upvoted and followed! :-)
Thanks for sharing! :-)
Just a heads up, but the getting 500 coins part for using a referral link may no longer be true, I did get 100 coins for confirming my email address though. I hope you get credit! It doesn't have to be win-win, but one win would be nice. :)
Despite clicking on your link it didn't automatically insert your name, though it did recognize you when manually entered.
Interesting experiment that may be fuel for future blog posts if nothing else. Thanks for the info, be badass if it turns into something!
