 DIDs that we control? Waste of time they say… meanwhile governments are building the CBDC equivalent for DIDs so they can control them:

 I already have my DID 
 Did you use it to get your passport or driving license? 
 No its my nostr keys 
 That’s my point. Imagine when we can say: “Here is my DID, you have limited access and can only access the details you need and what I allow in order to prove who I am. You can’t share it or store it. Once proved, your future access is denied and you cannot share it, sell it, or store it on your unsecured and hackable server for other nefarious purposes. Goodbye. 
 Right click, save. I have it forever. Limiting is nice, but once you use your documents online, they can be leaked and be on internet forever. I agree its better than sharing your documents with all those companies, but you still sharing it with some. Still a bullshit requirement.
