Yes and with apologies to Sam Altman, I like it's odds of success better than "World Coin". 1) Amazon is selling this as a simple, natural convenience feature.

Yes and with apologies to Sam Altman, I like it's odds of success better than "World Coin". 1) Amazon is selling this as a simple, natural convenience feature. Holding out your palm to pay is easy and natural --- easier than pulling a card from your wallet, easier then bending over and looking into a weird orb thingy. 2) No crypto mumbo-jumbo required. Crypto is quickly becoming associated with "scam" in the mind of the public and "World Coin" only furthers this trend. Paying people "funny money" for their biometrics is inherently suspicious. 3) This is not a "sneak attack" on anyone. Whether you pay by biometrics or card or phone or even crypto, there is no real privacy left in the process. Thanks to Google and Apple and others, that ship has already sailed and disappeared somewhere over the horizon.
