These are all experiments that didn’t work out.

This pain is a feeling of growth.

Identity and data are the new currency.

Self-sovereign identity requires you to be the ruler of your own identity.

Who wants to be king?

Step 6: White Paper

WHITEPAPER published in the GitHub code repository is a dive into the technical feasibility of the Self-Sovereign Identity wallet on #Bitcoin.

Some years bring questions,

and some years bring answers.

Step 5: User personas

There is no way to talk about user experience without understanding users. User personas represent our current understanding of main user profiles and are living artifacts that evolve as we better understand the needs and wants of our users.

ChatGPT helped base the initial assumptions about personas on hard data. Processing huge amounts of statistical data seems to be one of the things ChatGPT is particularly good at.

Stable Diffusion generated photorealistic personas based on demographics.

Self-sovereignty is an expression of self-love; consisting of small acts of kindness addressed to the future Self.

The lack of creative exploration of possibilities is why we tend to overlay old #design upon what is new and potentially revolutionary.

Trust is the key issue with digital identity, and the Public Key Infrastructure provided by #Bitcoin is the trust layer for the Internet.

Cold is my friend.

By increasing transaction fees, Ordinals on #Bitcoin also improve network security by financially incentivizing new miners to join the network.

#Bitcoin stands for individual freedom and self-sovereignty.

The amazing feature of #TheGameofLife is that you can define your own game you want to play.

What are your other tools?

“Smart contracts combine protocols with user interfaces, and promises expressed via those interfaces, to formalize and secure relationships over public networks.

This gives us new ways to formalize the digital relationships which are far more functional than their paper-based ancestors.

Without user interfaces the smart contracts are largely invisible, like the electronics in newer car engines.”

Thank you! Earning while I sleep is a beautiful feeling. Will pay it forward.

#GenerativeAI has all the potential to automate UI Design with skillful prompting.

But #UX is different—it’s a process involving people on many steps.

Now the difference between UI and UX design becomes even clearer.

#Bitcoin transforming people.
