 Big difference w/ centralized vs decentralized #DigitalIdentity.

The 1st is dystopian: state-owned biometrics granting perfect surveillance and social credit.

The 2nd is cypherpunk: keys that prove custody of various types of identity (nyms, employees, and residents).

 This is centralized biometric #DigitalIdentity, which is very different from decentralized, key-based #DigitalIdentity.

Important to know the difference.
