charitable interpretation: this project is trying to address the problem of distributed and anonymized KYC. Because the current setup where you upload your passport to Coinbase turned out to be a cruel joke on the original idea of a cryptocurrency: it's the exact opposite of anonymous/pseudonymous, and the exact opposite of distributed. By this point Coinbase is really no different than a bank (with one "improvement" that it also tries to entice you to play lottery with shitcoins). Whether it will succeed or has any additional agenda i have no idea.
- 93po 3y agoThis is pretty off based on my understanding of Worldcoin. They want the opposite: they don't want to know who you are. They only thing they are interested in is are you a verified unique human, or operating the account of someone is a verified unique human (less than ideal but will happen). The biggest use cases for this are to establish a finite limit of online accounts to combat inauthentic online behavior, to provide a robust way to vote, and to provide robust way to evenly distribute UBI.
