Let's be brutally honest: tethering our fingerprints, iris scans, or facial features to a digital safe is like hanging your house keys around a wolf's neck. While the heralds of progress trumpet the utopia of perfect security, all I see is a giant target painted on every citizen's back. Remember those deafening silences when hospitals are ransacked like hen houses by cybercriminals? Medical records auctioned in the dark web's black market like sardines, ransoms paid in bitcoin under threat. And now they want to slip that same Trojan horse into our financial lives?Picture this: your face becomes the key to your crypto wallet. Just one well-placed malware, a flaw in the code finer than a hair strand, and you're transformed into a walking wallet. Kidnap-ready at home, blackmailable at a traffic light, perfect victims for high-tech abductions. "Scan your iris to access the account or we break your knees," will say the millennial highwayman. And who guarantees security? The same entities that turned our data into a battlefield?

The irony is grotesque: we posture as rebel champions of privacy, then build the very tools illiberal governments dream of for mass control. We're the Big Brother's enthusiastic accomplices, while wearing Orwell's face on a T-shirt. One misconfigured algorithm is all it takes for your life to become an open book for hackers, digital mafias, and rogue states.

So, is it worth the risk? Only if you're willing to turn your existence into a biometric Russian roulette. Because in the data war, the only winners are always the barbarians with digital screwdrivers. And remember: when the system collapses, it's not the bureaucrats who crash against the wall—it's your photos, held hostage in the deep web.

with affection...
