While the American public and even some U.S. politicians have been sounding the alarm recently over the dangers of the potential future rollout of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), and the loss of all privacy in any financial transactions, a new blockchain financial network that was launched in 2019, before COVID, has been gaining momentum here in 2023 and is now being used in dozens of countries around the world with over 1.5 million users.

And it is now being launched in the United States: World ID with the Worldcoin cryptocurrency.
World ID is not some concept for the future. It is already here, and already being used around the world with the World App and Worldcoin, for both financial transactions and “World ID checks.”
Since its initial debut, 1.5 million people have joined the World App pre-release, more than 500,000 of which use it every month. On a typical day, it sees around 60,000 transactions and 25,000 World ID checks among other actions from over 100,000 people in a handful of countries. Today we’re excited to introduce Phase I of World App, and to make it globally available for the first time. (Source.)

Why have so many people around the world so quickly signed up for a World ID?
Because they are being offered free cryptocurrency, and in some cases even free money in their local currencies, by using their new World ID.
And what do they have to do to receive this free money?
They just have to have their eyeball scanned by the Worldcoin “Orb” which will then create their unique World ID.
Scanning one’s eyeball seems like a pretty creepy way to create an ID, so what is the rationale to use one’s eye as a biometric ID?
It is to prove that “you are human” and not an AI, or so they say.
This system is going to be rolled out in the United States within the next few weeks, so if you are not familiar with this network yet, I suggest you get up to speed ASAP.
How fast could this World ID and World App program be rolled out?
Well considering that the founder of Worldcoin and World ID is Sam Altman, the same person who created ChatGPT which last November became the fastest downloaded app in history with hundreds of millions of downloads, I think it is safe to conclude that this World ID could be rolled out very quickly.
What is Worldcoin and World ID?
The stated goal of Worldcoin and World ID is to reach the 50% of the world that currently has no form of ID and cannot therefore participate in the Global economy.
They believe that cryptocurrency is the way to distribute universal basic income, but to do so, they need to enroll people in the World ID program, and to make sure that each person on the planet can only have one World ID and not scam the system, they use biometrics to prove that they are “humans” with a single ID.
The biometric that they chose was an eye scan, which required them to build a special hardware device to scan people’s eyes, called the “Orb.”
Here is a video that they produced which explains why they created Worldcoin and the Orb. Much of the last part of the video is just explaining how they designed and made the Orb.
The App which allows one to obtain a World ID and use Worldcoin was released earlier this month (May, 2023).
INTRODUCING WORLD APP
The first Worldcoin wallet, designed to bring digital identity & global finance to all.
World App, the first wallet for the Worldcoin ecosystem, is launching today. It’s designed to be friendly, and it supports private digital identity and a new financial system. You can use it to authenticate with World ID to prove you’re a real person, get your Worldcoin tokens and send digital money anywhere.
After extensive development and beta testing in a limited number of countries, we’re excited to share Phase I of World App and to make it globally available for the first time. Over time, it will evolve into a toolkit to empower individuals in the Age of AI, enabling the usage of proof of personhood, the equitable global distribution of digital currencies and ultimately a path to AI-funded UBI.
Prove your personhood with World ID
It starts with World ID, your human passport to access the new online services. Verify it privately with an Orb, and then use it to seamlessly sign in to websites, mobile apps and crypto dapps proving you’re a unique and real person without sharing personal data like names or email addresses.
Claim Worldcoin grants
People in eligible countries can also use it to get their Worldcoin Grants every month*. The app will remind you when a new grant becomes available and you can claim it using your verified World ID.
Save and send digital money
Use the wallet to save digital dollars with multiple options to deposit and withdraw using bank accounts, local payment methods, or nearby agents. You can also instantly send them to friends or family members around the world using their phone contact or crypto address, for free.
Explore and use crypto
Learn about Ethereum and Bitcoin—with more tokens coming soon—and earn a bit of them in the process. Track your balances, get notified with major changes and easily trade with decentralized exchanges. (Source.)
Notice how they claim that Worldcoin is designed for “privacy.”
But how could a system like this actually protect your privacy?? Maybe they will protect your privacy from the rest of the world (except hackers), but your privacy is most certainly NOT being protected from Sam Altman and other Big Tech billionaires who run this system.
