Happy new year! Another year has passed, full of achievements, changes, collaborations, progress, and new visions, working towards a community-organized basic income.
When scrolling through the online marketplace I realized that with the current range of services and goods available I might be able to cover most of my basic needs in Circles, whoop! So I decided to take on a challenge. Could I survive only on Circles for a week?
Circles is a powerful tool for communities to provide each other with a basic income. For Circles to work, it requires strong community ties and a proactive commitment to creating value in the system by providing products and services in exchange for CRC.
This is one of the frequently asked questions around Circles.
TLDR; we have no intention whatsoever to present our project on any exchange market. The longer version:
We are super happy to present our new webpage!
As an ongoing experiment, we are always learning from our community, and the new website is the result of it.
We are now implementing the biggest change in the Circles UBI system which we’ve had until now. As most changes in life, this won’t be easy, but it will help open up a community based basic income for many more people worldwide, especially for the ones who really need it.
Circles is a community currency which aims at creating an unconditional basic income from the bottom-up, allowing people, cooperatives, businesses and communities to exchange with each other the things that they need for the resources available in the region.
In the last few years, there has been a recent surge of interest about Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO) on what has come to be known as the Web 3 space.
Happy New Year! As the Circles Coop team, we already started the new year with a lot of motivation and exciting projects. But first, we would like to share with you our progress and achievements for the last year.
We are constantly swimming in a sea of trust. If you’re lucky enough to live in a place where you can open the tap and fresh clean water comes out...
