CCG Chronicles #10 – Issues with the Sharing Economy and Platform Cooperativism


This episode is a continuation of the CCG Chronicles series which is a collection of interviews conducted during the Crypto Commons Gathering (CCG) in Austria back in August 2021. The interviews were also filmed to potentially be a part of a documentary I’m making with a few others.

During the CCG I interviewed Blanka Vay and Andreas  Arnold who are both members of the CirclesUBI  (@CirclesUBI) Cooperative based in Berlin. We spoke about why they believe platform cooperatives to be better solutions than what the sharing economy was and their experimentations of CirclesUBI in Berlin. I’ve previously spoken to Julio Linares to talk more deeply about how CirclesUBI works here. The project has recently announced some planned changes to the system which you can find the details of here.

If you want to financially support our efforts in making the documentary, you can donate so far with bitcoin, ethereum (any layer), or NEAR at the addresses listed on the website. We’re still unsure when exactly anything will be published, but we’re hoping within the next year although that will depend on the amount of support we can get from the community.
