The lack of clarity around the details is the issue.
If Saylor approached this with purity of heart, he could actually end up gifting humanity something on a parr with Bitcoin itself...
i.e. the most robust, self soverign way of managing identity in a digital context.
It will be interesting to see which path he chooses, and the extent to which he can pull it off...
I choose to be resolutely sceptical, and therefore, am in the perfect position to be pleasantly surprised.
Seems like a reasonable position.
One positive is that it looks like he's pushing his work to GitHub.
If he maintains the open-source nature of the product, at least we'll be able to vet and verify it, for ourselves, much in the same way we do with Bitcoin.
Unlike other centralised, black box approaches to digital identity, if he aims to shaft folks, at least we'll know about it, and the extent to which he's able to do it...
