Eye-Scanning Crypto Project Worldcoin Set for $100 Million Raise: Report
Gotta laugh at the naivety of corporate propaganda - and those who flog it.
Worldcoin - Universal Basic Income - in exchange for scanning your eyes.
2 billion people without financial services - heard it all before.
Oh... but... you poor people will need a smartphone - huge facepalm!!
How DeFi can lift up the poor in emerging markets
Here's another good samaritan championing liberation cryptography.
From what I've seen, such emerging countries have their own group of local scammers willing and able to take advantage of local needs and ignorance. What such countries need is not more projects but honest outreach initiatives - plus honest ways to exchange crypto for local services.
I don't think liberating people by trapping them in new technology is particularly ethical. Mind you, most of the world is thus already trapped, so this makes sense within a prison planet.
Around 17% of the world total population don't even own a smartphone plus mmajority knows smartphone only for apps like whatsapp wechat Instagram Facebook etc.
When i was in college i thought of creating something that will help poor kids for getting proper education. I thought of creating apps that will help them learn but then came a barrier of rich and poor infront of me.
These people rather need end to end help , tech will only help rich people earn and reality is that poor remains poor. we can say that rich gets richer in the name of poor.
So sad and harsh reality at the same time.
Right, most people seem to have older phones - not spyphones - so need systems that can operate with that tech.
