I then asked Grok this! (rewrite the proposal with your solutions, noting where you have made the suggestion or change and a brief explanation why, same as before exclude outside material as much as possible and refine this proposal with logic and mathematical reasoning,) and this was the reply:
Government Budget and Sovereign Universal Basic Income Using Stablecoins Independent of Central Banks
Introduction
This white paper proposes a new government budget operation model independent of central banks, utilizing blockchain technology to distribute a stablecoin called “sovereign USD1” to all citizens in a hybrid manner that balances equality and proportionality. Based on this framework, it aims to realize a sovereign Universal Basic Income (UBI) system.
[Change Note: Modified the distribution description from “equally” to “in a hybrid manner that balances equality and proportionality.” Reason: Pure equal distribution may alienate citizens with varying contributions (e.g., higher taxpayers funding more), leading to dissatisfaction similar to investment scenarios where larger stakeholders feel under-rewarded. A hybrid ensures broader acceptance by addressing both equity (for inclusivity) and fairness (based on input), logically reducing opposition and enhancing system stability.]
BackgroundTraditional government budgets are mainly financed through tax revenues and government bond issuance. However, recent issues such as fiscal opacity, currency instability, and increasing economic inequality have become social problems. A new approach that does not rely on central bank-controlled money supply is required.
Proposal Overview・
Introduction of WLFI National Wallet Citizens are provided with digital wallets, and the government distributes the stablecoin “sovereign USD1” in a hybrid model corresponding to government bond issuance: 50% of the total issuance distributed equally among all citizens, and 50% distributed proportionally based on verifiable citizen contributions (e.g., prior tax payments or other measurable economic inputs).
[Change Note: Introduced a hybrid distribution model splitting issuance 50/50 between equal and proportional shares, with proportionality tied to contributions like taxes.
Reason: Mathematically, if T is total stablecoin issuance, N is number of citizens, and C_i is contribution of citizen i (sum(C) = total contributions), then equal share per citizen = (0.5T)/N, and proportional share for i = (0.5T) * (C_i / sum(C)). This formula ensures small contributors get a meaningful base (appealing to the majority), while larger ones receive scaled rewards (proportional to input), logically mitigating inequality without inflating T. The 50/50 split is adjustable (e.g., 60/40 if data shows skewed contributions) to optimize fairness, derived from balancing utility functions where U_small = base + small_prop (high relative gain) and U_large = base + large_prop (absolute alignment with effort).]
・ Government borrowing and distribution to citizens
The government raises funds by “borrowing” from citizens, and the issued stablecoins are directly credited to citizens’ digital wallets according to the hybrid model.
[Change Note: Specified “according to the hybrid model” instead of implying pure equality. Reason: Logically extends the borrowing concept to recognize varying “lending” capacities; equal borrowing ignores contribution differences, potentially discouraging high contributors and leading to suboptimal participation rates.]
・ Sovereign Universal Basic Income (UBI)
The government periodically pays UBI in digital currency, which is positioned as “repayment of borrowed funds” to the citizens, distributed via the same hybrid mechanism to maintain consistency.
[Change Note: Added hybrid distribution to UBI payments. Reason: Consistency in mechanics prevents perceptual unfairness; if initial issuance is hybrid, repayments should mirror it to avoid eroding trust. Mathematically, periodic UBI as a fraction of repayments (e.g., R per period, where R = annual repayment target) split 50/50 ensures long-term equity, as cumulative UBI for i = sum(equal_share + prop_share) over time, stabilizing economic incentives.]
Advantages・
Increased transparency and accountability in budgeting ・
Direct and real-time management of government funding and expenditures ・
Providing economic stability and participation opportunities directly to every citizen, with rewards scaled to both universal access and individual contributions ・
Establishment of a new currency circulation model independent of central bank monetary policy
[Change Note: Expanded the third advantage to include “with rewards scaled to both universal access and individual contributions.” Reason: Logically highlights the hybrid’s dual benefits, addressing poverty (via equal base) and motivation (via proportionality), which pure equality might not sustain if high contributors withdraw support.]
Technical Composition・
Use of blockchain technology with a distributed ledger to ensure transaction transparency and tamper resistance ・
Stablecoins backed by foreign currency such as the US dollar or other substantive value mechanisms under consideration ・
WLFI National Wallet issued individually to citizens for transactions, savings, and consumption, with built-in tracking for proportional factors (e.g., linked tax records)
[Change Note: Added “with built-in tracking for proportional factors (e.g., linked tax records).” Reason: Logically necessary for implementing proportionality; without verifiable data, the hybrid fails. Blockchain’s immutability supports this without privacy invasion if anonymized, ensuring C_i calculations are auditable and fair.]
Challenges and Future Outlook・
Balancing the sustainability of UBI and government fiscal health, including monitoring the hybrid split to prevent over-reliance on proportionality (which could exacerbate inequality) or equality (which could dilute incentives) ・
Designing mechanisms to control inflation and stabilize currency value, such as dynamic adjustments to the hybrid ratio based on economic metrics (e.g., if Gini coefficient rises above threshold, increase equal share) ・
Legal system development and promotion of public understanding ・
Coordination with the international financial system and impact analysis
[Change Note: Enhanced the first two challenges to incorporate hybrid-specific considerations, with a dynamic adjustment example. Reason: Logically, fixed ratios may not adapt to changing conditions; a feedback loop (e.g., if inequality metric G > 0.4, shift to 60% equal) uses mathematical thresholds to maintain equilibrium, preventing system failure from static design.]
Conclusion
A new framework for stablecoin issuance and government budget operation beyond central bank control contributes to the realization of a fair and sustainable economic model in the digital age. This proposal aims to serve as a forward-looking policy foundation that balances citizens’ economic freedom with government fiscal transparency, refined through a hybrid distribution to ensure broad consensus and long-term viability.
[Change Note: Added “refined through a hybrid distribution to ensure broad consensus and long-term viability.” Reason: Logically summarizes the core improvement; hybrid resolves potential disputes (as in equal vs. proportional debates), promoting adoption and sustainability by maximizing collective utility.]
