FaceID scans hundreds of millions of faces per day. Can we articulate a difference between that vs Worldcoin, or any similar opt-in technology for proof-of-human?
If you run any service with more than a few trusted users, you'll immediately discover the need for some kind of proof-of-human. Not necessarily the state's old-fashioned and bureaucratic KYC impositions, but *something*. Otherwise you'll have bots, frauds, trolls, fakes, etc.
If you've ever taught a class, you have a point of view that a perpetual student alone does not.
Similarly, if you've ever built a service, you understand something a pure user does not.
One of those things is founder/user/community disalignment (1/2).

As a user, you want total privacy.
As a community member, you want a well-run community without bots, trolls, fakes, etc. But you don't want to be mistaken for one.

Three very different roles. You want to put yourself in the heads of all three to viscerally understand, and then align their incentives.
It's a mouthful, but privacy-preserving proof-of-human = the pseudonymous economy. Run good communities while respecting individual privacy.

Crypto makes progressives more libertarian and libertarians more progressive.
Progressives discover that you can build stateless money. Libertarians discover that you then need to rebuild something much like a state: identity, reputation, anti-fraud, custody, trust, community…
