Right, what a genius move. Pivoting your 17-year old startup company from 'social messaging' into the 'most successful and useful' category.

"a decentralized proof-of-personhood solution" Why and how is Worldcoin able to prove 'personhood'? Just spend five second thinking about if that is really what this is about. Why this phrasing?
