This is a use case for crypto: seamless first or third-party attestation of age without sharing additional data.

However I'm not a fan of the concept of Internet License, maybe it's better to not give the kids the car if you don't want them to use it.
- waste_monk 4y agoWhile I wholeheartedly agree that crypto should remain cryptography, it is a sad state of affairs that we seem to receive far more posts about cryptocurrency.
