Number 1 is dead end. I will write an article about it. If you look how the new EU age verification works - it's strong attestation + zero knowledge age prover combined with your digital id. Goodbye open systems. The app itself is open source, but the age proof will fail unless it's generated by an app compiled and signed by the state authority, on a certified device. We only have web, hacking certified devices and your point no 2. But since normies don't care, building network effects will be incredibly difficult.

It's not even building network effects in the traditional sense where every consumer is open minded. Much of the population is actively supporting it as the way in which they wish to live. They aren't worth winning over and they belong in the matrix. We probably need to focus on powerfully efficient and robust circular economies. Whoever wins that battleground will effectively dictate the social graph tools and access space. View quoted note →
