SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO, July 27, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO, July 27, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- BOTS, Inc. (OTC: BTZI) (EXCHANGE: M06.SG), an emerging innovator of products, technologies, and services for the rapidly growing digital robotic automation and manufacturing industry announced today that it is in the process of repurposing and renaming FIRST BITCOIN (COIN:BIT) into the “Basic Income Token” while retaining “BIT” as the digital currency’s symbol.
There is a growing demand for a socialistic Universal Basic Income scheme in the United States of America heralded by former presidential candidate Andrew Yang, however, our hybrid public benefit/capitalistic concept is to deliver an asset to our shareholders that produces income simply by keeping their wallets opened. The more wallets that remain open, the more secure the cryptocurrency becomes. This “income” will self-generate BITs 24/7 via Proof of Stake Mining (POS) protocol. Once we have hundreds of our 10s of thousands of shareholders keeping their wallets open, the blockchain becomes exceptionally secure while automatically generating BITS via Proof of Stake Mining.
Bots, Inc. and First Bitcoin Capital (OTC:BITCF) are working closely together to ensure a seamless transition of this major asset consisting of billions of BITs. Once the name of BIT is changed to Basic Income Token, Bots Inc. intends to distribute 1 BIT for each share of Bots Inc. to be held on a record date to be set for distribution as soon as August 30, 2020.
This asset is only one cryptocurrency of a larger inventory of more than 100 unique digital cryptocurrencies acquired from and previously owned by First Bitcoin Capital Corp. The most significant of the transferences of these cryptocurrencies to Bots Inc., included, but was not limited to, the majority ownership of First Bitcoin (COIN:BIT), a cryptocurrency based on a unique blockchain similar to an improved version of Litecoin. This unique coin trades on Livecoin.net with BIT included on the premier website for tracking of cryptocurrencies via https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/first-bitcoin/
Additionally BOTS, Inc. in conjunction with First Bitcoin Capital has generated the interface required to manage issuance of units of a newly minted cryptocurrency based on Bitcoin’s blockchain utilizing the Omni protocols which are also used by Tether (COIN:USDT) in an effort to alternatively fulfill Yang’s vision, defined as follows: “Universal Basic Income (COIN:UBI) commemorates the presidential candidate Andrew Yang’s plan for distributing $1000 per month per citizen so that each world citizen is entitled to 1000 UBI per month upon request from Bots, Inc.”
In a recent article published in nature.com, “Pandemic Speeds Largest Test Yet of Universal Basic Income” Economists welcomed the chance to see whether giving people cash, to spend however they choose, would improve their livelihoods. Spain’s government has started what might just be remembered as the world’s biggest economics experiment. On 15 June, spurred by the coronavirus crisis and its economic fallout, Spain launched a website offering monthly payments of up to €1,015 (US$1,145) to the nation’s poorest families.
The program, which will support 850,000 households, is the largest test yet of an idea called universal basic income (UBI) — in which people are given a cash payment each month to spend however they choose. It has been oft-discussed but never satisfactorily tested, and economists around the world are watching closely to see what the impact of the scheme on livelihoods will be.
The move comes at a time of unprecedented economic turmoil brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. Spain was one of the hardest-hit countries in the early days of the pandemic. The nationwide lockdown curbed the spread of the virus, but came at a staggering financial price. Millions of people lost their jobs as the economy shrank rapidly, putting many of the most vulnerable citizens at risk.
“If there’s ever an opportunity to try to push for some sort of income floor that can be paid out in cash to people, this is the time to do it,” says Damon Jones, an economist at the University of Chicago in Illinois.
Bots, Inc. has become the first publicly traded company to announce the launch of a corporate initiated Universal Basic Income Token (UBI). Interested parties may signup to receive an invite linked here: https://www.bots.bz/ubi
“Those whom request this monthly UBI distribution will be required to cover Bots’ nominal Bitcoin transference costs and both Bots and First Bitcoin Capital will share in a 1% transference fee to be earned in kind. We will develop unique bots that are equipped to handle the inclusion of each requesting world- citizen wishing to use our automation in order to handle the sign ups and transfers” stated newly elected Company Chairman, Simon Rubin.
