The token has been controversial in Silicon Valley for its ambitious and unorthodox approach to trying to solve two vexing problems: Online identity authentication and income inequality.
…
The token economics — a breakdown of how the tokens will be distributed — will be made public Monday, the people said.
Tools for Humanity has offered people around the world free Worldcoin tokens, called “WLD,” in exchange for scanning their irises with a device called “The Orb.” The iris scans ensure that each person can have only one Worldcoin ID.
Babe wake up, new scam for idiots just dropped
Universal Basic Income is not a technical problem but a political decision. This new coin does not solve social or economical inequality. Its just a new comtetitor in the field of cryptoscam.
Very much so.
If this coin’s math and mechanics actually work in transferring wealth from rich to poor … it’ll be swamped in poor people wanting their cut, and rich people will want nothing to do with a shitcoin that’s explicitly going to take their money and give it to other people.
They’re not even launching in the USA because the SEC might kick their shit in. This is basically an overcomplicated scheme to harvest biometric data from impoverished foreigners. There’s already been fraudulent signups from people trying to exploit the world’s poor. It’s dumb AF.
New surveillance capitalism just dropped.
I guess this is the endgame for tracking every user in the world but they added “universal basic income” in the title so that its not so obvious what they are up to?
Only the nerds in Silicon Valley could come up with a technical solution to such massive problems as income inequality. How can supposedly intelligent people spend more than 1 second thinking that makes any sense?
What’s next, are we going to make an app to answer vexing questions like “why does evil exist”?!

“The Orb”
How the fuck do they come up with stuff like this and then say they’re the good guys? The Orb? What’s next, The Spire?
I’m partial to Defectcoin, if only for claw-based shenanigans.
