You can think of it like stocks and bonds sort of. It takes millions of dollars to open a co-op the size of a big box store so nobody can do it alone and you need a bunch of people to invest capital. People invest capital because they get part of the profit and stocks which can be liquidated if needed.

At Coop, you’d get 4%, $30000, but you’d obviously be consuming the $750,000 and not get to keep them.

what Basicincome.co adds to that is that those $30,000 are distributed across a wider network, and so are the $ that everyone else receives, and this evens out to create a distributed version of a basic income safety net

the incentives to join are the same as for traditional co-operatives, producers of value join because they want to support their community, or because they want to use dividends to attract costumers, and consumers join to get dividends

We currently get about 0.5% above inflation on that investment. How would a co-op compare? It’s only $750,000 btw

(1) The accumulation of social capital (i.e. the creation of new links) is conducted through search of profitable opportunities that are to be found by ‘moving’ along the current network. That is, search is a network- mediated process.
(2) The value of existing links is subject to volatility , understood as stochastic decay.Therefore, network buildup can be seen as a struggle between search and volatility – a manifestation of the so-called Red Queen Principle (Van Valen(1973)it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place’
