Oh my god just when you think the "credentials on a chain" idea has been absolutely shitcoined to death...It is like the evergreen conference timeslot filler.

Except, there's no credentials on chain.
Whew, luckily I looked into it and that's not how it works at all. Verifiable Credentials are just a signed proof format where you take a statement about something/person and signing it with your ID's key. No blockchain involved. Pretty cool that's been standardized, and I heard even LinkedIn is accepting VCs for proof of employment now.
Quick question: I've seen so many inaccurate takes here that are wildly off when I go check out those materials and code they published, so is it possible that there's a sort of highly tribal bias here that's preventing people from being thoughtful in their assessments? I like learning about all these protocols, and find it a bit odd people aren't willing to do so.
Thanks for looking into it. I have PTSD from drowning in industry bullshit slideshows for years and I knee-jerk reacted to yet another DID thing.
