Short, title-less, often half-baked. Published anyway.

You create value— actual work, goods, services— yet you get paid minimum wage by the hour.

Banks create that money out of thin air when the rich ask to borrow, then make more capital gains in a week than you make in a year.

Having access to create money is power itself.

Once I embraced this truth, I understood:

👉🏽 If we want economic sovereignty, we can’t just fight to own the value of what we produce— We need to own the apparatus to money creation itself.

Enter: Circles (Not the K-pop banger by SEVENTEEN—though yes, also 🔥)

Circles bills itself as a fair-money system to fix problems of today’s monetary policy.

Its core goals are “universal access” and distributed issuance –

→ Every user mints 1 $CRC per hour → No central authority, no Fed, no ECB → You join via a web of trust—3 people to vouch

🧵Most people misunderstand money—and it’s wrecking not just personal finance, but entire communities.

Let’s dive deeper than who’s making money from your labor, to who’s creating that money in the first place—and then circles 😉 back to how to take that power back.

You might think a dollar is a dollar.

But behind every dollar is a racket called seigniorage — the profit governments and banks make from issuing new money.

They print it. You chase it.

@koeppelmann @aboutcircles So basically even if you don’t know or trust me, bcoz I’m your mother-in-law’s stepson’s barber’s farmer, you can buy my pomelo?

@dieworkwear Changing high-skill into low-skill jobs gives them an excuse to pay us poverty wage.

Passion-driven, craft-based profession have already disappeared in America, the rich just fly to wherever to get what they want.

@AppStore what was the reason behind the purchased apps UI change?

Flicking thru past purchases is actually a joyful experience bcoz of nostalgia.

You took away that joyful experience, and I want to know why. For what?

@koeppelmann Good ol’ chicken or egg problem.

I wanna see people buying and selling with @aboutcircles as easily as Apple Pay / GPay.

And it’s chicken, obviously. 🐓

@ArmandDoma “You will never be white”

As if being white automatically means better. The massive insecurity shown by these losers says otherwise.
