Yeah, interesting. I agree about the blockchain parts. >> certifying the holder's identity and citizenship and entitling them to travel under its protection Couldn't a company certify someone's identity too and provide the "protection" too? >> Not really. What would it even mean? For example, people from <bad country> wouldn't be denied entry to another country just because they were born there. A company/org could provide a more hollistic identity? Finally, couldn't the transition start if a small country rents its passport-issuing powers to a company for a fee (similar to the golden visa programs)? That could get the startup going, allowing it to offer passport subscriptions (without nationality perhaps) to citizens of the world?
