Some believe that, due to rising unemployment in many parts of the world, the implementation of universal basic income becomes necessary. But the solution could come from a radical change in the way of monetizing the Internet, a change driven by decentralized blockchain platforms.
As methods are being perfected and the blockchain trains are on track, decentralized autonomous platforms are being built that could displace labor services that are currently provided by other commercial, financial, etc. entities. These platforms are like cooperative zones governed by users. It is they who decide what compensation and valuation they receive for their work.
Platforms that have a similar scheme, work on decentralized social networks such as Publish0x, Steemit and Sapiens. Users are remunerated for the content they generate. Each time a post receives a "vote" or "tip," a small incentive is generated for the author and curator of the content.
This allows users to monetize content that is currently monetized by large platforms. The new trends offer us multiple options to generate passive income.
So how will we make a living in the world of the future?
Our income is likely to come from three different sources:
1- A basic income will guarantee us a minimum for subsistence.
2- An income obtained from our active work (work that we know we are doing), as our contribution to some platform on a specific issue that is needed, that is, work as a Freelance.
3- An income obtained from our passive work (work that we do not know what we are doing) as our contributions to social networks or the rental of idle assets as the processing capacity of our computer.
And all this, managed by decentralized platforms, owned by users. This will be a possible blockchain impact on the future of work.
Blockchain is the first step in this social evolution. It will provide the virtual money of the future, which is not managed by any government or bank. It is money specially designed to work without intermediaries for us and designed for the community in general.
