- CNBC’s MacKenzie Sigalos reports on the growing scrutiny around Worldcoin, a crypto project launched by OpenAI founder Sam Altman. Worldcoin creates decentralized identities for users and offers its native token to those who sign up. Governments have expressed concerns over the biometric enrollment process and possible violations of national data protection laws. Some potential applicants are nervous about the aggressive evangelism associated with the product, as well.

Why Worldcoin Wants To Scan Your Eyeballs And Digitize Your Identity
This is a big time scam with the identity of people
Awesome idea, can't see anything going wrong with that!
😂😂😂
😂😂 *facepalm*
Your Face ID is better right? 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Scammers gonna scam.
Yeah why not , more control for corporations and govts.... pffff
it's more than "more control". It's total control. To go online, to pay ...
@@r3dp1ll to pay what?
That's worst, because we are giving control to just one mad guy like Sam Altman
A sponsored video on how good crypto can be, this is an ad and they should tell the viewer this!
The propaganda machine is in overdrive rn.
Anything that requires a single app to work is NOT decentralized. 🤦♂️
What is it with Tech bros and insisting on “Solving the world’s problems” through the worst ways possible?
Because they’re paid actors placed in positions to put out an image of being cool hip tech guys who want the best for humanity but in reality they do not
They aren't even solving a problem, that is the issue. They are following the steps towards a future that they envision, regardless of the reality around them. And that's what's so scary.
Hi, tech bro here. We do NOT claim this
"Once on the internet, always on the internet." Once you give them their private information, you can't take it back.
Now AI will be able to go into your face recognition phone and apps
Exactly
Sounds like a scam.
people complaining over eyeballs being scanned while simultaneously having face unlock on their phone. wild times
Scam
Worldcoin only makes sense for the early investors that get 25% of all coins.
They say that they want at least a billion members and they want to give them a universal basic income. That can't work out though. If they really have a billion members one day, every dollar of universal basic income means that one billion dollars have to be generated.
Thats where universal basic work comes in.

The ignorance of humanity perplexes me

This is how a decentralized country movement starts.
You will secure data, by amassing mass amounts of biometrics. Yeah. I believe you.
As if normal crypto wasn't bad enough
They gonna keep your identity and use it for their own benefits
Nope
The gall of Altman and his cronies to assume they can force this down people's throats is embarrassing!
They could have sell it as a security Apps that let you login to any devices/apps, sort of all in one key with "certain insentive" whether coin based or coupon or whatever.
But when they sell it as a Crypto and ask people Biometric to offer free coins, thats gonna sound very suspicious.
But I really hope I was wrong and maybe the UBI works?
Still wouldn't trust them 😅
This is absolutely horendous!
I go to the DMV for my ID.
World coin is expected to rise to $150 by the end of this year, experts. predict
Decentralized my ***
😂 these peeps be crazy who do this
They do. And what you gonna do about it? Absolutely nothing.
Saw an Argentinian news channel covering these weird pop ups paying tourists to get your eye scanned . Seems weird
The mark of the beast is not 666 but WWW (world wide web). There was no "W" in Roman times when The REVELATION was written so the W was substituted by 6 as VI three times was the most closest substitution
And you’re using it right now 😂😂
what are you? some kind of virgin?
😂😂😂😂
.100
Mark of the beast is in you (ie vaxx) not on you.
No thanks
We have to stop these psychopaths
Don’t do it
Muvia (sp?), who works in fraud prevention for Yellow Card, a Pan-African cryptoexchange company, said what I am thinking, "It's a bit too dystopian for me."
NOPE!
The litmus test if something is a ponzi scheme or not is if no new persons or money are lured into the scheme would the investor still make or keep the value of their money. Crypto fails this test.
Wonderful idea, you people don't see the potential for this. It is no different from getting a drivers livense or a passport, or BankID as we have in sweden. My government could in theory lock me out from society already because everything requires BankID here. I trust worldchain more. Of course the project could fail completely for many reasons, but the idea is sound.
Stay away from me!
What is happening now around the world is nothing compared to God's severe wrath which is coming soon. Repent and seek God before it is too late. The Great Tribulation is around the corner. Jesus loves you, turn to Him and be saved.
@FreedomeIsAMyth-1948 In other words u wanna keep sinning, living in sin and doing as u please without facing any consequences or the wrath of God.... I don't think so. In this world, if u commit a crime u get arrested and penalized. In some states u get a death sentence if u murder someone. So yes, the need for repentance is needed to turn away from sin. A loving God does not tolerate sin.
Those "nothing wrong"+"can't see anything" easier to manipulate
NO
Now they are suspending accounts for no reason
I think you guys should all do it.
Why?
After all, you have missed the relationship between OpenAi and Microsoft. I believe Microsoft will add an MFA option to World ID in Microsoft Authenticator ❤ Microsoft will open the way and create value for it. In the early days, OpenAi may cooperate with chip manufacturers to produce brand-new integrated circuits for iris Will first produce USB Iris devices, and later cooperated with Andriod mobile phone companies (such as Samsung and LG to add Iris support) and added World ID support option). Finally, used chips to negotiate with Apple to add World ID. support.
nope
I am from Indonesia I Join the word coin register too, hopefully it will be my luck Amen
How to delete the Iris from their database?
Who cares if they're bots. Bots are kewl
