Whitepaper | Circles UBI | Handbook:
[Everyone has their own currency operating by a shared set of rules, culminating to form a kind of monetary fabric.]
[Each personal currency mints new coins for the associated person every minute, and the quantity inflates each year.]
[To mitigate the risk of any account turning into a sybil, trust can be revoked, which allows the revoker to continue spending the revokee's coins but not receive new coins from them.]
[If Carol and Bob are strangers (not yet established mutual trust) but both extend trust to Alice, they can send each other money by transacting in AliceCoin; through transitive chains of trust Carol and Bob receive BobCoin and CarolCoin, respectively.]
[If a trusted person creates a Fake account, other people cannot receive FakeCoin until they trust it, and that person can only spend it if other people trust it.]
[People receive CRC unconditionally and the supply is constantly increasing, which incentivizes spending (flowing) over hoarding.]
[The current dominant monetary system is like agricultural monoculture, which devitalizes the soil and requires pesticides to protect. Circles is more diverse:] if you lose your strawberry fields, you will still have your roses and potatoes and cannabis.

[Circles is not on any crypto exchange as it is meant for spending, not for getting rich. You might convince someone to give you other currencies for your tokens, but the peer-to-peer nature of Circles makes it hard to give liquidity to the whole network.]

[The conditions for flow include: 1) knowing what to do next; 2) knowing how to do it; 3) being distraction-free; 4) receiving clear and immediate feedback; 5) feeling a balance between challenge and skill.]
[Bliss is just a word: you can desire it but not know what it is. Only one who has tasted it can give it to you, and without doing anything: from their presence alone the unknown flows toward you.]
[A master is an availability, not a teacher. A teacher may not know, having perhaps learned from other teachers. A master gives you a taste.]
[A guru has not mastered anything, or gone through training, or disciplines himself. Rather than mastering art, they have lived life completely, natural, and loose—without force, by moving with the winds and allowing nature its course. Through millions of experiences of suffering, pain, bliss, happiness, they have matured. Ripe and heavy with the fruit, ready to fall, they can fall into you if you are ready to receive. Pregnant and heavy with the divine, he is ready to pour down, only a thirsty earth is needed.]
