Why does this have to be a crypto currency? My ssn is not a currency and it is used for id. Why can't it be like that, a database of id's? Should we make our drivers licenses or passports into crypto currencies? What is the advantage?
- mrguyorama 3y agoWell you see, me and my SV rich buddies can't pre-mine and then sell a driver's license.

- elxx 3y agoSame as every project that involves cryptocurrency - the advantage is that the scammers who promote it can make money from badly reinventing an existing system.
