The author in this post explains how "banksters fear or hate basic income", and while some individuals may, i would argue that basic income would benefit banksters the most.

The people in power or banksters in this case, fear instability more than anything else.
Having a growing population without jobs, who have less and less money to cover their basic needs, and even less on consumption of products and services they don't really need is more of a threat to their power than anything.

Airdropping basic income money on people, that the banksters print at will, could keep the sheep population happy enough so they wont revolt against the money religion most of people still believe in.

USD, STEEM or Manna Coins is no different in that regard.
