* '''Too costly to Implement''' - Some experts believe that the initiative would be too costly and that it is unnecessary at this point. <ref>[https://futurism.com/heres-why-experts-think-universal-basic-income-will-never-work/ Here’s Why Experts Think Universal Basic Income Will Never Work]</ref> The "too costly" point of the argument may be rendered null by advances in blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. <ref>[https://futurism.com/1-evergreen-the-best-currency-for-a-universal-basic-income-could-be-digital/ Universal Basic Income Could Become a Reality, Thanks to This Technology]</ref> [[Zoltan Istvan]] believes that it could be paid for in the US by monetizing federal land. <ref>[https://techcrunch.com/2017/04/10/is-monetizing-federal-land-the-way-to-pay-for-basic-income/ Is monetizing federal land the way to pay for basic income?]</ref>
