Why the world needs universal basic income

I was a guest on @nantchev's [Become Remarkable Podcast](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5CpCNPna6p95oJfKPew0N3ZT0k-khdgg) last month, where we discussed the topic of [universal basic income](http://www.scottsantens.com/basic-income-faq) and even a bit about Steemit. You can listen to it here via YouTube. The total length is 1 hour and 4 minutes.

My thanks to @nantchev for having me as a guest, and whatever SBD this post earns, I'll be sending his way for creating this. I also recommend following him.

Cheers and happy listening!
