Steem Basic Income


Steem Basic Income is a social experiment to bring a basic income to as many Steemians as possible. Members join by sponsoring others into the program. Steem Basic Income is delivered through providing regular upvotes to member content.

Humans Behind Steem Basic Income


Joseph rises early and gets right to work; trading, attending to SBI, scanning articles, following up with current events and chats on discord, and working on other ventures.

@babysavage wakes and plays nearby while her Daddy works on the computer. On breaks, they read stories, go on walks, and play with her toys together.

@babysavage 'helps' Joseph answer Discord messages


Joseph is an adoring father and loves to teach her things. He has talked her through making coffee and nachos and tells her about his work on the computer. Though she hasn't made us dinner yet. ;)

We enjoy going on walks around the neighborhood and taking detours so @babysavage can walk on the grass, and bark, and gravel, and dirt, and then the path again to her fancy. My favorite is to chase @babysavage up and down the halls. Sometimes she crawls so excitedly she lands on her face with laughter.

Joseph has a unique understanding of how things fit together, and of the many unforeseen consequences of events, policies, and system changes. Despite his vast interests and knowledge, he is not above explaining the most basic subject until understanding is accomplished.

SBI is our 'problem child'

Joseph gave life to SBI and I worked diligently to support him. The considerable amount of time spent on daily upkeep made it an ongoing question if it would survive before automation. The birth of our daughter made the effort even harder, but also all the more important. It reminded us of the families who benefited or could benefit, from SBI.

In any case, Joseph persisted. Joseph's compassion is really the reason SBI was created, and why it is still running today. He cares immensely for the underprivileged and is passionate about providing truly positive aid.

Joseph is a knowledge-hungry, generous, gritty soul and puts the 'human' in SBI.

Mother. artist. birder. wordpress and graphic art student.

I work to keep this busy man fed and our home and daughter cared for. I am pursuing artistic studies and enjoying motherhood more than I could have imagined. @babysavage is the light of our lives, this amazing creature we get to learn with and play with. I could talk about her endlessly, but I try to keep it brief. :)

I have not posted in some time and this is my favorite; enjoy: What My Infant Daughter Is Teaching Me About Happiness

Wish I had seen this earlier @josephsavage @katysavage. Thanks for putting it together and giving our Steem blockchain a glimpse "behind the curtain!" Great family picture!! 😊 👍

And, yes, children absolutely change our lives. For the better. On any given day (particularly once they become teenagers ... 🤔), we may question that, but it is as life was meant to be ...

All the best to you both, for a better tomorrow!


P.S. Resteemed, just so others might possibly see it as well, for future reference ...

I love Basic Income concept... thanks for what you are doing, guys!

Thanks for sharing your lovely family. Baby Savage is adorable and already got Daddy’s talent on the computer. 😊

Nice to see the faces behind SBI. Kudos to you both for making SBI possible.

She loves to get on our computers. We have learned to always leave them locked.

Greetings, I would like to know when SBI I have accumulated. should create a weekly post on list of users at least the first 500.

A weekly post of the top 500 is a good idea.

Great to see the family working together on the dream! I know it makes it easier to remind us why we work hard and strive to achieve things for that future generation!
