Noticing that the "local" feed of the instance I am on is getting as random as the federated one, telling me that it might be time to find a smaller community which I can relate to more. Wondering if Mastodon has plans for a circles-like grouping of people to follow to create more concentrated feeds?

Imagine opening your bank account details and seeing money added every time, regardless if you had to work for it or not, for as long as you live - that's what wants to achieve - https://circles.land

Here's a proposal: Bezos won the capitalism game this century - for the next century let's change the game and the rules and we all start using our own instead of fiat money for real: https://joincircles.net so they can't compete.

Learned today about "Gitcoin.co" through the "Circles UBI" "grant" or "crowd-sourcing" - It's an intriguing scene. I'm still skeptical about the tech and I'm definitely a newbie in the crypto World. But I do understand this technology has and will have an impact on the "real world" more every day. So to not be completely left in the dark, I decided to get to know the tools and the people involved.

The Emergence of Circles UBI: Learnings and Lessons

That evening a small team of artists, hackers and activists from all over the world gave birth to Circles, a Universal Basic Income (UBI) system on the blockchain: based on trust, powered by communities. blockchain, circles ubi, cryptocurrency, syndicated

Sarah Friend, Saraswathi Subbaraman (Circles): CirclesUBI: Towards a Community-owned Basic Income

Is it possible to create a community owned currency that can exist both globally and locally without relying on the sovereignty of nation-states? And if it were, how would you build it? Circles is a cooperative project working at the intersection of cryptocurrency and UBI, trying to rethink money as a commons and as means to commoning. We are developing a p2p universal basic income using the Ethereum blockchain, and bootstrapping it with a Cafe that accepts our currency – currently gearing up for a research pilot in Berlin in 2019. We hope to shed light on the overall possibilities of alternative currencies, as well as the limitations of working within the blockchain space, given its political economy.

 

Presentation starts at 00:03:40 - The question and answers are really good.

The Circles Money System was designed to get started creating a UBI economy today. We believe that the combination of resilience and global accessibility afforded by blockchain technology is a key catalyst that makes a Universal Basic Income achievable within the next generation.
