  Good point about identity being relationship-based. I've found DID's to be quite effective in providing cryptographically verifiable social proofs that are powered by our relationships. Keybase has an excellent integration of DID's and social proofs. I've verified my Hacker news identity and linked this identity to my Keybase identity, along with my Twitter, FB and github identity. If you know me on one of these platforms, you can cross-reference my identity and see that I've attested to my identity across multiple platforms. When you go to my Keybase profile, you can see I am currently in control of these identities, and I can revoke the keys I've created as provable links between my various profiles. This layering of social proofs is powerful in a variety of ways.
