    I mean you can get a lot of info from retinal scans.

    That data is valuable for resell, much like genomic data…

    Should be universally illegal to harvest/sell/house this bio-info.

    ah thats why there are so many people willing to do this

    i wonder why the price is so high for something that’s already premined and does not offer anything new

      Yeah - if everyone gets 50$ and only half of them cash out then it’s not possible to have enough demand to not make this thing fall into oblivion.

      I really wonder how they plan to keep the value up once it has settled?

        This thing doesn’t need to hold up a second longer than the time the founders need to sell most of their premined tokens.

        They likely can and will keep it going for a bit longer via money coming in from new investors.

          Some kind of Ponzeye scheme?

          The marketing cost seems to be insane though

          And developing such a high quality scanner also isnt cheap

          I feel like that current 2$ pricepoint can’t be the endgame the investors had in mind

          I don’t see how it’s going to rise further though

      I’m sorry to say that the world has turned into a pussy-whipped, Brady Bunch version of itself, run by a bunch of robed sissies.

    “Relatively few people were familiar with the goals of the project, and rarely did their enthusiasm for the bonuses translate to an enthusiasm for the Worldcoin project or cryptocurrency more broadly”

    Yeah, I don’t really see this project going anywhere. I’m guessing the vast majority of these people who got $50 in worldcoin will never figure out how to convert it to fiat currency or another crypto.

    I’m concerned at the security implications of this. I haven’t read into it but, with the world moving towards facial recognition/face locks. I’m not sure how wise it is to allow people to do a detailed outline of your eye and face.
