This week I am joined by economic anthropologist, Julio Linares, to discuss Circles, a cryptocurrency project tackling world poverty.

Circles provides users with a Universal Basic Income in Trust tokens, meaning accounts are topped up every day with new tokens. The aim is to build economies around communities—and trust.
