Fortunately, I left this lawful but awful Twitter platform (X) some time ago. No regrets!

Hier zijn de belangrijkste kritiekpunten met betrekking tot Worldcoin:

Worldcoin is een ambitieus project dat tot doel heeft een universele basisinkomen te creëren voor iedereen op aarde. Het project wil dit doen door een nieuwe cryptocurrency te distribueren via een netwerk van oogscanners die de identiteit van de deelnemers verifiëren. Hoewel het idee veelbelovend klinkt, zijn er ook een aantal kritiekpunten die Worldcoin moet aanpakken.

Een van de belangrijkste kritiekpunten is de privacy van de gebruikers. Het project vereist dat mensen hun ogen laten scannen om Worldcoin te ontvangen, wat betekent dat ze een unieke biometrische gegeven moeten delen met een centrale autoriteit. Dit roept vragen op over hoe deze gegevens worden opgeslagen, beveiligd en gebruikt. Sommige mensen maken zich ook zorgen over de mogelijke discriminatie of uitsluiting van mensen die niet in staat zijn om hun ogen te laten scannen of die dat niet willen doen.

Een ander kritiekpunt is de duurzaamheid van het project. Het is nog onduidelijk hoe Worldcoin zijn waarde zal behouden en hoe het zal concurreren met andere cryptocurrencies op de markt. Het project is ook afhankelijk van de medewerking van lokale partners die de oogscanners installeren en beheren, wat logistieke en operationele uitdagingen met zich meebrengt. Bovendien is het nog onzeker of Worldcoin daadwerkelijk een positieve impact zal hebben op de armoedebestrijding en de economische ontwikkeling.

Oordeel zelf, maar volgens mij is dit project om bovenstaande redenen gedoemd te mislukken. Ongetwijfeld een distopisch initiatief!

Users of a wallet created with the Libbitcoin Explorer are therefore strongly advised to withdraw their Bitcoin from it, if they have not already done so, and to bring them to safety!

I bet she is a non-smoker 🤣🤣🤣

You have been warned! For newbies, Ethereum may appear similar to Bitcoin, but it's not.

Voeg aan deze strijd de PYUSD stablecoin toe. Dat wordt pas echt lachen! 😉

The number of Bitcoin available on exchanges is at a five-year low. There are several reasons for this, including increasing acceptance and high demand for Bitcoin, increased interest from institutions, long-term hodling by investors, and shortages due to the upcoming halving of Bitcoin, which is expected to take place in 2024 and will further reduce the supply of new Bitcoin entering the market. In addition, investors are withdrawing their Bitcoins from exchanges and storing them in cold storage wallets for security reasons or to benefit from a potential price increase.

This was the bet of Balaji Srinivasan, the entrepreneur, investor and former Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Coinbase. That was indeed a USD 1 million bet but this is completely different. Adam Back is of a very different calibre. Given that Back is a multimillionaire and in possession of an estimated thousands of BTC, this amount is nevertheless more symbolic. At current prices, this corresponds to just under 300 US dollars; if his prediction is correct, it would then be around 1,000 US dollars.

Despite the low stake, the bet has an enormous symbolic character. Only time will tell whether the prediction of the Bitcoin legend Back will actually be correct.

Here is an article on the Balaji bet:
