Here is the video from my talk yesterday on where some of the bleeding edges of our current work on self-sovereign identity #SSI are. This not an intro, but a deeper dive into issues we are, or need to, discuss. Slides: docs.google.com/presentation… Video: youtu.be/LvW9tpZX0TA

In case you missed it, video of the week: Dutch PM checks his bike into a big underground parking place. Attendant (of Kurdish origin) is amazed: “He has to check in and out like a normal person! This is how you run a country. I’m never leaving” xitter.cf/shadraouf/status/12196…

Our member @SovrinID published a white paper providing a detailed legal analysis of the applicability of the GDPR to the Sovrin Ledger and Sovrin Network: sovrin.org/data-protection/
“Self-Sovereign Identity: Instead of logging into Airbnb, Facebook, Uber, et al, you will log into your own self-sovereign browser, and will have the same ability to rent a hotel room, use social media or hail a car...”

Our latest research shows that it is possible to build a simplified payment system for central bank digital currencies. Such a system would safeguard users’ privacy for low-value transactions while ensuring that higher-value transfers are subject to anti-money laundering checks.

ECB, translated: "We'll keep pretending we're aiming at economic stimulation by lowering rates, although we know this doesn't help, as it busts the banking system. But it will allow us to introduce central bank digital currency, get you all microchipped & under our total control.
Lagarde: We expect ECB interest rates to remain at their present or lower levels until we have seen the inflation outlook robustly converge to a level sufficiently close to, but below, 2% within our projection horizon … (1/2)

And if we don’t transition to a digital world that will change. We are way behind on a crypto USD. China is coming. And coming fast. They are way ahead in fintech. Thier President just publicly claimed his support to all things blockchain. We risk losing our reserve status

US accounts for: 10% of global trade 15% of global GDP But... $$$ 50% of all trade invoices 68% of global securities issuance As a result, “while the world economy is being reordered, the US dollar remains as important as when Bretton Woods collapsed” in 1971. (2)
