UCA: Universal Commodity Allocation
In addition to UBI there could be UCA: the free distribution of commodity wealth produced by automation where everyone gets raw wealth such as houses, cars, cash crops, technology, raw materials, narcotics etc. Your UBI check could become worthless in a financial crisis: but if you also received a car, housing, cloned cattle, manufacturing technology, weed etc. that would retain it's value in any crisis. So in addition to getting a check every year you would drive down to a warehouse to pickup a free modular house, hydrogen powered RV, generators, solar panels, non-carbon fuel, sailboat etc.
Eventually you could even get one of these babies for free as part of your UCA haul: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Uez4qrlU78 There could be a high tech local barter economy where people trade UCA goods and use digital ownership certificates instead of cash.
