UBI would only really work with a fiat CBDC. You have to know who is getting the capital, and there has to be mechanisms in place to make sure that they do. There's actually a better way.

Universal Basic Assets, basically a dividend on civilization itself. Can be done with the current miner systems, or with Lightning Network yield. It requires everyone to have an understanding of how basic financing works, with income, assets, expenses and debt. Instead of just an income stream that helps cover some or most expenses, force people to be responsible by giving them assets that generate that income stream, and the goal is to build their collection of assets so that the income pays the expenses for the life they want to live.

The only way to reform the state at a global scale is by hitting the reset button. Every single nation state government is corrupt, to the extreme. Whether you consider yourself to be far left or far right, authoritarian or democratic, collectivist or individualist, the existing government institutions are failing us all, and there is nothing that can be done from the inside of those systems to fix them. They must all be destroyed and replaced.
