It's July, and GoodDollar has distributed nearly $16k in digital basic income

Andrew Yang may have lost the mayorship in New York City, but #yanggang and global support for universal basic income. Just in June alone, GoodDollars were claimed 1.2 million times, across 183 countries. That's 1.2 million reminders of the growing global #UBI movement, especially as cryptocurrency adoption surges in unstable economies like Argentina, El Salvador and India.

We are halfway through 2021 and the GoodDollar community is rapidly expanding. Together, we're working to support the foundation of a free-er and fair-er global financial system. How? by creating the technological innovations to support it (everything we do is open source) AND develop real people-friendly products to enable greater adoption.

We are also a few months shy of GoodDollar's one year anniversary of officially launching the digital wallet and basic income protocol. So naturally, it's 110% full steam ahead because we have exciting projects and developments in-the-making. So, what's been going on?

Community Spotlights: Namibia

Last month, while our friend Hans Huber von Holzhausen travelled in Namibia, he went to a school and thought it would be a great place to onboard new people to the digital economy. Excitingly, for most people it was their first time accessing crypto.

Why was this possible? The GoodDollar wallet was created to make it simple and easy to access free digital money. Our design principles hinge around building inclusivity and reducing barrier to entry (?):

• No app needed. Save your internet data and skip the download, you can access the wallet from any browser. GoodDollar is the easiest, risk free way to open a digital wallet and start getting free crypto.
