I'm sure that headline will not bring joy to a lot of people, though it would be really nice to move on from userid and password combinations. Here's the gist: "one's crypto wallet would function as a sort of profile, similar to Facebook or LinkedIn. But unlike web2 profiles, decentralized identities are backed by hard evidence: a permanent, timestamped record of a person's accomplishments, contributions, interests, and activities to date." Fine, but we don't want to have to show the equivalent of our driver's license or health care card top log on to a website. So decentralized ID is also going to have to support anonymized ID. It's not clear though that governments and advertisers are ready to allow that. Image: IBM.
