Worldcoin is building the world’s largest identity and financial network as a public utility, giving ownership to everyone.
We aim to create universal access to the global economy regardless of country or background, accelerating the transition to an economic future that welcomes and benefits every person on the planet.
Going to be hard to pull off. I'm surprised Sam Altman doesn't have the foresight to see that in a world where no one trusts institutions no one will willingly pay to scan their eyeballs without an obvious value proposition. Most people don't even understand Bitcoin yet
As a technology anthropologist who's helped many companies bring software/hardware products to market, this is unlikely to succeed for several reasons. Growing mistrust of biometrics as a whole, the general market has zero trust for crypto right now, neither this hardware nor blockchain can scale at what would be needed at a societal level. I could go on.
Sometimes the most complicated of problems of the world are solved with pure genius, sheer simplicity, non-negotiable ethics and humanity. This is 100% NOT one of them.
