Well, first, I think people should work until they die. Just not from 9 to 5, but by producing value to humanity in the way they enjoy - teaching, making art, growing kids etc
Second, regarding why would people stop increasing their life standard when they have basic needs covered — thats what we see today — there are people every here and there who don’t want to increase their life standard and stay in the same place for entire life. They don’t quit bad habits, don’t start eat healthy food, they are not eager for knowledge etc. and today those people struggle, work 9to5 and blame THEM (some other things) in their problem. But those people are forced to work by the economy. And they feel bad because: 1) they are forced, 2) they don’t want to improve their life. And I believe if such ppl will have basic needs covered by NGU they will just seat idle
Billionaires are a good example btw. Yes, there are sole of them who keep working even though they have everything covered. But first, I believe some of them could do it subconsciously because they are afraid to become poor again. And second, look at their kids who are wealthy from the start - being able not to think about money at all doesn’t seem to make those people contributing to humanity in the best way they can, doesn’t make them want to innovate — they usually mostly buy drugs and showoff with their wealth. And bitcoin doesn’t fix this
