🌐 What is Worldcoin?
💡 Founded by Sam Altman: A bold plan to distinguish humans from AI by scanning eyeballs.
💸 Universal Basic Income Vision: Initially conceived to distribute income to those whose jobs are disrupted by AI.
🌍 Global Reach: Scanned and verified 6+ million people across 40 countries.
🆔 World ID & Crypto: Users receive a World ID passport and payouts in Worldcoin’s WLD cryptocurrency.
🚨 Why Are Governments Cracking Down?
Worldwide Resistance:
🇭🇰 Hong Kong: Raided after discovering Worldcoin retained iris images for up to 10 years.
🇦🇷 Argentina: Fined for abusive user terms.
🇪🇸 Spain: Blocked for scanning children.
🇰🇪 Kenya: Criminal investigation and public inquiry into biometric data collection.
🇪🇺 EU: An inquiry looms over its data practices.
🔍 How Does Worldcoin Work?
🏀 The Orb: A chrome device that scans irises, claiming to distinguish humans better than fingerprints or facial recognition.
🔐 Privacy Claims: Worldcoin says the technology is private, with data deleted after verification and encrypted on servers—unless users allow algorithm training.
💰 WLD Control: Worldcoin still controls 97% of WLD, with a total worth of around $15 billion—leading to price setting by a small currency pool.
