If UBI is just a once a week or month airdrop into a wallet with no strings attached then it might be a useful safety net for the less fortunate. Unfortunately, there are far too many people in society who think that people need to be controlled and monitored constantly (and a correspondently large number of people who would accept that just for an easy life...) We can see from the way that they are pushing Net Zero and Carbon Credits etc. that they want every aspect of our lives controlled centrally with a tiny elite (parasite) class at the top of the pyramid. Given the possibility that "The Great Taking" is actually true and that even things we think we own will be taken from us in the Great Reset, the future is looking quite bleak unless we come up with a solution fast!

Well the solution should be Bitcoin in self custody, am I right?

There is no mass solution. Everyone has to find a solution for themselves. Yes, in an ideal world, you could help the less fortunate with a monthly stipend. In the current regime, they effectively become a weapon for the state. The Great Taking is true in the sense that they can legally steal people's assets, whether they decide to do it is the question.

Definately will be a utopia at first making the masses believe there will be no strings attached. Society adapts quick to something being nice and easy, but will take time to assimilate the changes they will make little by little until the trap is sprung and theres no way out..

The no-strings-attached is never going to happen but is not a desirable condition either; the problem is that the strings attached are only one-way at the moment. Back in simpler societies, when a generous father would patronise the expenditure of a child, the recklessness and other socially undesirable behaviours of said child would be personally incriminating to the father. Today's states have zero consequences for patronising and supporting bad behaviour. If a judge keeps releasing a serial rapist from prison, the state feeding him in food stamps, stipends, soup kitchens and other ways, can I sue the judge or the state when the rapist rapes my daughter next? UBI will try to come with strings attached that protect the bureaucracy's objectives - but the bureaucrats also have a way to wash their hands from the sins of their dependants this way.
