 Everything is going to have to be cryptographically signed, and the source of the signature will be what’s important. Reputation will become paramount.

 Exactly. Authenticity and reputation require cryptographical signing in this age of impersonation of a thousand types.

 Average social media users are going to struggle with looking after their keys/reputation/identity.  So that UX is going to be a challenge, but I completely agree

 We are 16 years into BTC and look how little people know. We got OG Bitcoiners who claim Lightning doesn't even work lol. This will 100% be a near impossible task in the short term. Shit show that scammers will take advantage of.  Eventually will be common place but will take a long time.
