American Exceptionalism may soon come to mean simply no digital ID.

All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms; And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard, Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lin’d, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper’d pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side; His youthful hose, well sav’d, a world too wide For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion; Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

The start of my tech career coincided with the rise of the web—the dotcom boom. Before that, I grew up on dial-up and BBSes. The promise of connecting freely with whomever, whenever I wish, has captivated my imagination since I was a boy. It's no less captivating now. This is why I'm committed to nostr + Bitcoin. And why I'm invested in fighting against the KYCnet that Machiavellian technocrats around the world are hell-bent on caging us with. Don't let them. Opt out, resist, co-opt. Use nostr.
