According to ChainCatcher, Vitalik said in a post on X: “I don’t think an ‘anonymous society’ or even a ‘financialized pseudonymous society’ is really effective. A more multidimensional concept of identity (with the characteristics of ‘soul binding’) seems necessary; if you don’t do this, the most stable governance structure will only be a de facto centralized structure, and others will be attacked by financialized governance. It can be said that even today, we can see these problems at work in DAOs.
Anomymity is a check and balance, it exists to run the ‘dark side of the cycle’, it cannot run the entire cycle by itself, just like you can’t run a society with perpetual rebellious energy.
With respect to x-risk, I think diversity of thought can actually help us more effectively identify x-risk mitigations that people can support.”
