Reimagining Fiscal Systems: Two Blockchain Proposals for Tax Relief and Universal Basic Income The intersection of blockchain technology and social welfare presents intriguing possibilities that deserve serious consideration. I've been developing two complementary concepts that could fundamentally transform how Americans interact with taxation and receive baseline economic support— both powered by advertising revenue rather than traditional government spending . The Tax Offset Network The first proposal establishes a blockchain-based system where citizens receive NGO-issued tablets that function as network nodes . These devices would display targeted advertising focused on financial services, tax preparation software, legal resources, and civic information— content that's actually relevant when people are thinking about their tax obligations . The blockchain would track each citizen's tax liability through smart contracts while simultaneously allocating advert...

The Missing Link : Why Ad Revenue Stablecoins Could Finally Work After talking about the ADMAN token experiment last week, I stumbled down quite the rabbit hole. While researching why that project might have stalled out (beyond the obvious Bitget Wallet availability issues in America), I recently discovered that the concept of advertising-backed digital currency isn't exactly new. Enter AdToken and AdChain – two projects that apparently tried to crack this same code years ago. AdToken.com and AdChain.com represent earlier attempts at marrying digital advertising with blockchain technology, though neither really gained the traction you'd expect from such a logical pairing. Looking at their current status, it's clear they haven't achieved the breakthrough adoption that seemed inevitable for this space. But their existence actually reinforces something we've been contemplating: is the time finally right for a proper advertising-backed stablecoin? The...

Could a Stablecoin Be Backed by Advertising Revenue? The digital currency world has experimented with stablecoins backed by nearly everything imaginable—fiat reserves, gold, commodities, even algorithmic balancing acts. But one idea that resurfaces every so often, without ever taking hold, is the notion of a stablecoin backed not by hard assets but by advertising revenue . The logic sounds appealing at first glance. Online advertising is a multi-billion-dollar industry, with companies like Google and Meta raking in daily sums that dwarf the market caps of many digital currencies. If even a fraction of that revenue could be channeled into a stablecoin, it could, in theory, create a currency with a dependable backing. Instead of being tied to government-issued fiat or a volatile algorithm, the coin would be tethered to the steady flow of ad dollars. But while the idea is tantalizing, its absence in the real world suggests it is much harder than it looks. The Core Challen...
