But, to be pedantic, 1000 times zero is still zero, so you are saying that any income will be worth zero.



Yes, that is a pedantic statement :). The number will never actually hit zero, largely because the brief statement I wrote here is a drastic oversimplication of how currencies are valued. But it doesn't change the underlying statement - the basic income will be pretty useless after a relatively short amount of time.


Not really, if the total amount of money does not change, then the worth of the basic income would not converge to zero. Am I missing something obvious?
