Good Dollar: The Digital Universal Basic Income
The concept of Universal Basic Income (UBI) has been around for centuries, but it was not until recently that the idea gained popularity worldwide. The Good Dollar project, launched in September 2020 as a corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative by eToro, has taken a unique approach to UBI by introducing a digital currency called G$. In this article, we will explore the Good Dollar project and its potential impact.
What is Universal Basic Income?
UBI is a concept that aims to provide consistent basic income to every individual, regardless of their work status. The income is generated through government taxes, and its distribution is based on the principle of social equality. Several countries around the world have experimented with UBI, but the idea has not yet been widely implemented.
Good Dollar - A Digital UBI
Good Dollar is an NGO that aims to provide digital UBI to communities worldwide. The project has introduced a decentralized cryptocurrency called G$ on the Ethereum blockchain and Fuse.io sidechain. G$ is not yet listed on any legitimate exchanges, so its price cannot be tracked from a credible source. However, according to the Good Dollar website, there are currently 223,000 people in the community, and 66M G$ tokens have been claimed by mid-July 2021.
How Does Good Dollar Work?
Users can earn G$ by creating a Good Dollar wallet, signing up via their emails or social media accounts, and earning 50 tokens (about a cent as of July 2021) as a starting point. Users are required to create a video selfie showing their faces and identifying themselves to sign up. The wallet enables users to collect G$ by clicking a "claim" button each day on the website, which provides a number of coins based on the "Reserve Ratio."
The Reserve Ratio is a number that reflects the ratio between crypto-assets locked in the GoodReserve (i.e., the staked coins) versus the G$ out in circulation. The reserve ratio is expected to decline over time, minting more G$ coins relative to the crypto assets in the reserve.
There are two types of Good Dollar users: Supporters and Claimers. Supporters are people who fund the G$ supply by staking their capital, and they continue to receive interest provided by the G$ platform. Claimers are people who receive G$ coins. After supporters' interest is paid out, the remaining balance of G$ coins minted from interest is distributed equally on a daily basis as basic income to claimers. The payment is divided evenly between the number of claimers that issue a claim on a given day.
Does Good Dollar Have Legitimate Use Cases?
Currently, G$ is not accepted as a payment method by major businesses. However, people have used G$ tokens for buying and selling homemade birthday cakes, vegetables from personal gardens, used iPhones, tutoring, or babysitting services, among other things, in a study on 500 eToro employees in Israel. Today, users can buy and sell goods or services on the Good Dollar marketplace.
Will Good Dollar Make You Rich?
No, and that is not the aim of the project. The Good Dollar project aims to provide digital UBI to global communities, and its mission is not to generate wealth for its users.
