Being in crypto for  a while. I know  how much damage to your live may be caused by sudden unexpected inflow of  cash. 
Thinking about  this  more I came  to a certain  conclusion. I think  that issue may be solved by  contract platform like  ethereum and  others similar.
This service may work as  follows: let say I put in a ethereum contract quite a big sum of money . Contract works in such way that it is  using this money to pay gradually over constant period of time small sum  to  specified address. Contract is doing so until it  is  exhausted. It works like  retirement fund.
Although it seems there is no visible benefit  to  that, from  my  personal  experience it  give you great  tool  to control our  desires, by putting some  delay  mechanics to  riches you have
Implementation seems to be easy, so in not so distant future I plan to  implement such  contract for personal usage   

Interesting idea.  It reminds me of when the lottery gives a winner the choice of one lump sum or small payouts over time.  One question I have would be how would the person using your contract idea would be able to decrease, increase or stop the flow of income?  Would there be a mechanism in place where the person using your contract could implement a command where they could not alter the income stream for a certain period of time?  Like if someone wanted to have steady payouts for 6 months at a time and every 6 months they were allowed to alter the contract to increase or decrease the payments.  I guess I'm thinking about this as more for someone who isn't very good at or not used to managing large sums of income and they don't want to spend everything they have in the first week, then your idea could save them from themselves.  Cheesy
