That was another great friday Community Cafe voice call today. Thanks to everyone who joined. When Luke started talking about Circle it really triggered my memory. I had looked long and hard at Circle earlier, but dismissed it for some reason. Well, I took another long look today and I signed up.
I think Circles as a universal basic income (UBI) protocol is pretty awesome. My understanding, is that everybody deserves and qualifies for a UBI but the catch is that Circles can only be used in transactions with other Circles members. There are some mechanisms that make Circles especially useable in your immediate communities. You probably wonāt be paying Amazon deliveries with Circles but you might pay someone to make you a website, shovel the snow from the driveway or paint you a picture. I will revise this posting as I learn more about it.
I am excited to use Circles can be as a supplement to $hny. Maybe even help out with arbitrage for you savy traders out there. It probably will never replace $hny but it might be useful to have a second special currency to use with your immediate community. @bombus hat was another great friday Community Cafe voice call today.

I am excited to use Circles can be as a supplement to $hny. We can probably find some new wanna-BEEs and invite them to the Hive too. Maybe an xDai native currency could even help out with arbitrage for you savvy traders out there. It will never replace $hny but it might be useful to have a second special currency to use with your immediate community. @Bombus I know you mentioned an interest in UBI, and Iāve seen a few others mention it though I canāt remember where. I mean, who doesnāt like free magic internet money right?
So I am applying, and apparently to verify my application I need 3 current members to vouch for me. Well that is tough but Iām working on it. If any current member is willing to verify my application that would be great. Please fire me a dm. Can current Circles members say hello and share some of their experiences with Circle? That would be great also. There will be more than just me too. So I thought it might be handy to get an official forum post started so we can curate a little Circles family here at 1hive. I am Bright ID verified if that helps in any way.
If you are comfortable, please say hi. My name is Dave but I go by @Blazingthirdeye in Circles and Twitter. I look forward to meeting you all and also helping out the Circle community. Though how we will help them by receiving their free money I donāt quite understand yet. Soon enough. Maybe we can get our applications verified by each other somehow. Or help providing resources to other applicants in need of a reference.
Thanks!
