Good questions. I signed up for Grantcoin just so see how it works since I have not used a crypto currency before. The question of what I would use this currency for is crucial since there is no use for a currency that you can’t use for anything [duh]. So ideally the currency could be inserted in some kind of already existing system of exchanges. Existing UBI groups like “Mein Grundeinkommen” with 47.000+ users might also be a good place to start since the members have already thought about the idea.
Another interesting idea was announced today by Grantcoin: the integration of Grantcoin into some sort of new social media platform called “Ekata”.
So I guess the next question will be if enough people will be using this platform, so that the currency gets some meaning in real life.
