The appropriate reaction to worldcoin is not, “well the world already has all my personal information anyway!”
The appropriate reaction is:
- how did we get here?
- why are folks so desperate for free “crypto”
- why is this legally allowed and encouraged?
- who controls this data, and why is it being collected?
#Bitcoin provides a framework to think through this questions and concerns. Bitcoin heads in the direction of freedom, money that can’t be controlled or manipulated, not led by any entity or corporation, promoting human rights and equal rules for all where everyone is a peer, no one is above another like the current fiat caste system. Bitcoin does not require trust, only verification which is done freely by everyone.
Be weary of projects, #crypto or otherwise, that’s says they promote economic freedom while also requiring personal intimate information, being unintentional about end goals, comprised of boards/corporations with profit motivation, and what angles could they exhibit control or manipulation.
When companies/governments say they are giving you freedom, remember:
“Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.” - MLK Jr.
