In this episode, we welcome Jessica Salama, Community Lead at GoodDollar, a global movement to bring economic opportunity to all. GoodDollar is an anti-poverty protocol and DAO that creates an ongoing money flow of digital basic income that is given away to its members. GoodDollar leverages decentralized finance financial tools to align incentives between those with money and those in need, creating more growth and opportunity for all.

We discuss the synergies that exist between crypto and Universal Basic Income, how crypto can drive greater financial inclusion and economic empowerment, and why the time for UBI is now.

Five Key Takeaways

• The time for UBI is now. There is adequate wealth in the world to ensure everyone can live comfortably - UBI can help make this a reality
• With crypto, anyone with a phone can gain access to financial tools through DeFi
• Every web3 movement needs a solid community to thrive. GoodDollar’s community spans the globe and includes ambassadors, investors, UBI recipients, and more.
• To drive financial inclusion, it’s important to make it as easy as possible for individuals to get involved. GoodDollar offers an easy on-ramp to those who are new to web3 and have traditionally faced financial exclusion.
• Decentralization and web3 enable new opportunities to create “people-powered”, horizontal programs and services that are driven by the communities they serve.
