The ever brilliant #RestofWorld has an 👀 report on #Bhutan rolling out the world's first national digital #identity system to all its citizens using #selfsovereignidentity – https://restofworld.org/2023/south-asia-newsletter-bhutan-national-digital-id/
I get the blockchain backlash, but find user-controlled/owned #verifiedcredentials for personal ID compelling, be it proving (pseudonymously) I'm not an AI/sockpocket/content-farm, or saving time with online signups. SSI doesn't need a cryptocurrency but normally has some kind of #distributedledger.

I was always a bit perplexed at what problem the #DistributedLedger was meant to solve for the #ASX. They are the trusted intermediary, so why replace that with a technology that solves the problem of not needing to trust an intermediary? Less complex solutions exist for this if the ASX is content to be trusted.
It's the #distributedledger stuff that I think has even more potential in many use cases in different public and private sectors, even if far in the future
