Bitcoin is really a digitization of trust

Money is only the first app

The next ones are :

identity, voting , contract (not smart contracts) , private services in lieu of public ones (education, health)

Everything the state provides except security … and then I am wondering if we can’t really digitize security measures (robot, drones?)

So the state knows this and they will do everything they can to maintain their hold on the last one: security (monopoly on violence)

To do this they need to manufacture insecurity

That’s it , that’s the agenda

You may be right eventually, but the main problem yet to be solved (as it is implied by most others, and as not been solved yet fully) is identity.

How to prove uniqueness? How to prove a key pair is in the control of one and only one human being, and stay under his legal control?

Think that you are just born, how to control that this is true, link whatever biometric info and third party claims to a brand new key pair and give its control to your parents?

Some solutions come from current work done on that side (like #did), often linking a key/pair to a set of 'claims' provided by third parties that give a good level of confidence to your identity.

The control of the key is also very tricky: you need ease of use, rocket proof recovery, légal transferts management.. Difficult to achieve without a central entity having some control of your key...

We need to solve the 'One man, one vote' issue.

💯 yep,

That’s web of trust whatever it is, or isn’t at the moment.

We are experimenting right now with Nostr

If you think about it , when you verify age you ask one party (the state) to provide the answer. And it has no incentive to lie

We just need to the same but with multiple parties involved , and with game theory incentives
