Let's play the devil's advocate here; the problem isn't that the current system needs to be replaced, the problem is that the current system has become overcomplicated and open to a lot of abuse. Basic income will not be the solution on this system, it will just replace it with a "clean slate" dragging a lot of questions. How will the Basic income be regulated? If Basic Income will be implemented, how will the current market evolve around it? Will the amount of Basic Income be the same over all participating members (countries, states, ...)? How will Basic Income react to strong market fluctuations? Etc.

A lot of jobs will be lost in the future due to technological advances (as new jobs will be created as well) and Basic Income is a noble approach to replace an imperfect system and prepare the population for these changes. But for the far future I'm not convinced it won't be prone for the same difficulties and (corrupt) influences the current system has endured.
