Let the Banks Burn, by Yanis Varoufakis

The banking system we take for granted is unfixable. The good news is that we no longer need to rely on any private, rent-seeking, socially destabilizing network of banks, at least not the way we have so far.

"The biggest mistake that I made was not understanding the asymmetric nature of the parties involved in identity" ~ Kim Cameron (#IIW Keynote in 2016)

Kim was a giant in the #digitalidentity ecosystem, not just for his technical brilliance but for his willingness to be open and collaborative in bringing disparate parties together. He is sorely missed!

Back in 2016, the organizers of IIW @Identitywoman, Doc Searls and Phil Windley asked Kim to give a keynote on the lessons learned from the "Laws of Identity" 10 years later https://www.identityblog.com/?p=1631

I was in that audience and there was a critical point that Kim made that remains highly relevant to the current conversation on #digitalwallets and #VerifiableCredentials.

There was no video or audio recording of the keynote, so I had to go back into the live-tweets from back in the day and piece that point together (see image)

The current discussions in the #VC/#DID ecosystem continues to ignore this point on asymmetric power relationships when it comes to the nature of who has the agency and decision authority regarding what #digitalwallet will be used and how that is choice is surfaced to them.

I absolutely believe that the choice should be in the hands of the individual and not be left in the hands of the Issuer (identity provider) or Verifier (Relying Party) via the use of the 21st century version of the NASCAR page, which is QR Codes on the Issuer or Verifier site -- for all the reasons noted by Kim in his keynote!

Which is why the conversation regarding the Credential Handler API (#CHAPI) and the #FedCM today at the @w3c is so important!

Fintech loans leave trail of regret and shame on Kenyans

> By the end of the first half of this year, the number of mobile wallets in Kenya had hit the 70.3 million mark against an adult population of 25 million, indicating people have more than two subscriptions amid mobile loan default rate of over 50 percent by households, according to official figures by the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK).

#digitalwallets #identification

Random thought, based on some of the stuff I’ve been researching and writing about #DigitalWallets : while we focus on what technology and regulation can support #DigitalIdentity , can we also put some time into codifying there must always be an alternative to digital id verification that isn’t overly burdensome for the individual to use? Perhaps there is something like this happening somewhere? Discuss!

One of my favorite things about being a freelancer: I can have my own blog, with my own opinions, about whatever I want. New post going out in the morning about digital wallets and where I think they need more work. If WordPress is set up correctly, it’ll automatically send a notice out to Mastodon. If you want to follow up on your own, it’ll be posted at https://sphericalcowconsulting.com.

Did you know by 2025, about half of digital transactions will be done through mobile meaning the use of #digitalwallets will be more than double?
