When we have an decentralised global anonymous or private ID system, it would be the best and most fair way to distibute an decentralized currency.
Thus a decentralised global anonymous ID system would probably be the most important system in humanities evolution in order to create a fair world.
How would it work then, practically? How would you prove your ID corresponds to a real human? Even better, is it possible to prove every ID corresponds to a unique human?
Great questions. Not sure how it would work and if we could make it work. I think MS is working on a solution. But I'm not sure it's such a good idea if everyone on earth was dependent on the technology of one company for their identity.
