  • There was an article I read a wile back so I may be misremembering. It claimed they the wealth of southern plantations was the slaves, the land and other assets were worth hardly anything. Many of these places had large amounts of debt tied to the value of their slaves. The fear was not just that the north would make slavery illegal, but that the actions being taken to limit slavery in new states would cause the price of slaves to drop and make all the rich slave owners broke.





  • I feel like I am missing something about how this works.

    Take this use case “ Companies could pay Worldcoin to use its digital identity system, for example if a coffee shop wants to give everyone one free coffee, then Worldcoin’s technology could be used to ensure that people do not claim more than one coffee without the shop needing to gather personal data, Macieira said.”

    What is stopping someone from showing up with 2 IDs and claiming 2 coffees. I dont know how you prove that the person showing up with a coin is the person who was physically scanned. Much less how you prove the person today was the person who was scanned 40 years ago.
